Yes, we handle everything from plant selection and supply through to planting and mulching. We choose species suited to Sydney's climate and your garden's conditions.

Depending on the species, most hedges reach a functional screening height within 2 to 3 years. Fast-growing varieties like Lilly Pilly can fill in even sooner.

Most hedging species need trimming 2 to 3 times per year to keep their shape. We provide guidance on timing and technique, and can recommend maintenance services.
