Landscapers on the Northern Beaches & North Shore
A good garden on Sydney's north side has to cope with more than most. Salt wind off the ocean, sandy soil that drains in minutes, heavy clay a few suburbs inland, sandstone just under the surface and blocks that slope away from the house. MAXLINE Property Solutions is a hands-on landscaping team working across the Northern Beaches and the North Shore, building gardens that suit the site they're on, not a catalogue photo.
You deal directly with the owner from the first site visit to the final clean-up. No sales reps, no handing you off to a crew you've never met.

Our landscaping services
Garden renovations and makeovers
Tired, overgrown or half-finished gardens stripped back and rebuilt. We clear out what isn't working, fix the soil, rethink the layout and replant so the garden looks right on day one and keeps improving.
Turf laying and lawn renovation
We excavate, level and prepare the base before a single roll goes down, because that's what decides whether a lawn thrives or patches out in summer. We lay turf suited to your yard's sun, shade and foot traffic.
Garden beds and planting
New beds built up with quality soil and compost, edged cleanly and planted with species chosen for your aspect, soil and how much time you want to spend maintaining them.
Yard levelling and soil preparation
Uneven, boggy or bare yards graded and conditioned so water drains away from the house and plants have something worth growing in.
Mulching, edging and finishing
Fresh mulch, crisp lawn edges and tidy borders. Often the difference between a garden that looks finished and one that doesn't.
Garden clean-ups
One-off clean-ups before a sale, a party or a new season, including green waste removal.
Landscaping built for north Sydney conditions
The Northern Beaches and North Shore are only a short drive apart, but they're very different places to grow a garden. Getting the basics right for the site matters more than any design trend.
- Coastal gardens deal with salt-laden wind and fast-draining sandy soil. We plant hardy coastal species such as Westringia, Lomandra and Banksia, add organic matter so the soil holds water, and position plants so the toughest ones take the wind.
- North Shore gardens often sit on clay or shallow soil over sandstone, under a canopy of established trees. That means planning for drainage, choosing shade-tolerant turf and plants, and working around tree roots rather than through them.
- Sloping blocks are common on both sides of the Harbour. We grade and terrace planting areas so soil and mulch stay where they belong in heavy rain.
- Protected trees. Councils across the area protect many established trees. If your plans involve removing or heavily pruning one, check with your council first. We'll flag it at the site visit.
Landscapers on the Northern Beaches
From Manly up to Palm Beach, we work with the sand, salt and slope that define Northern Beaches gardens. Our landscapers regularly service Manly, Dee Why, Brookvale, Mona Vale, Newport and Avalon.
Landscaper in Manly
Manly gardens tend to be compact and close to the water, so every square metre has to work. We focus on salt-tolerant planting, lawns that handle beach-day foot traffic and courtyard gardens that stay green with minimal fuss. If you're looking for a landscaper in Manly for a small courtyard refresh or a full backyard makeover, the site visit and quote are free.
Landscaping on the North Shore, Sydney
Our North Shore work runs from Mosman and Lane Cove through Chatswood and Willoughby up to Killara, Turramurra, Wahroonga and Hornsby. Bigger blocks, mature trees and heritage-style homes call for gardens that feel established rather than freshly installed.
Landscaping in Mosman
Mosman properties often combine harbour exposure, steep sandstone sites and established gardens worth keeping. Our landscaping in Mosman centres on working with what's already there: reshaping beds, renewing lawns, and replanting in a way that suits the house and the slope.
Garden renovations in Chatswood
Many Chatswood gardens were planted decades ago and have outgrown their space. Garden renovations here usually mean opening up overshadowed areas, replacing struggling lawn with something suited to the shade, and turning neglected corners into usable outdoor space for the family.

Landscaping questions
How much does landscaping cost on the Northern Beaches or North Shore?
It depends on the size of the area, site access, soil condition and what's going in. A turf replacement on a small, flat yard is a very different job from a full garden renovation on a sloping block. We give free on-site quotes, itemised so you can see where the money goes and adjust the scope to suit your budget.
When is the best time to lay turf in Sydney?
Spring through early autumn is ideal, as warm-season grasses like Sir Walter Buffalo and Zoysia root fastest in warm soil. Turf can be laid in winter too, but it takes longer to establish and needs less watering while it does.
How long before I can use my new lawn?
New turf usually roots within two to three weeks in the warmer months. Keep foot traffic light until it has knitted down firmly, then mow on a high setting for the first few cuts.
Which plants suit coastal gardens on the Northern Beaches?
Salt- and wind-tolerant species such as Westringia (coastal rosemary), Lomandra, Banksia and Correa are reliable choices. Improving sandy soil with compost before planting makes a bigger difference than the plant list itself.
Do I need council approval for landscaping?
Planting, turfing and garden bed work generally doesn't need approval. Removing or heavily pruning established trees often does, as councils on the Northern Beaches and North Shore protect many trees. Check with your council before any tree work.
Do you take on small landscaping jobs?
Yes. From a single garden bed or a small lawn to a full backyard makeover, every job gets the same free site visit and written quote.
