Garden Maintenance for Deep Strathfield South Blocks
Strathfield South garden maintenance usually means reclaiming the back third: on deep post-war blocks the rear of the yard stops being used, fills with weeds and self-seeded growth, and quietly becomes the largest problem on the property. Fortnightly, with staged clearing.
Strathfield South sits below the rail line away from the grand avenues, a quieter area of post-war housing on blocks that run considerably deeper than most people expect.
That depth creates a pattern we see constantly here. The part of the yard near the house stays in use and stays maintained, and the back third gradually stops being visited at all.
Once that happens it goes quickly. Weeds set seed, self-sown saplings take hold along the back fence, and within a few years the largest part of the property has become the part nobody wants to deal with.
Reclaiming the Back of a Deep Block
Bringing back a neglected rear section is staged work. Clearing it in one visit is possible but expensive, and the value is in keeping it clear afterwards rather than repeating the exercise in five years.
Self-seeded saplings along a back fence are the thing worth catching early. Pulled at ankle height they are trivial; left three years they need proper removal and often damage the fence on the way out.
Fence lines, shed margins and the strip behind a garage are where it always starts, because they are the parts a mower does not reach and nobody walks past.

Quiet Streets and Rear Boundaries
Frontages here are conventional and maintained, which is precisely why rear neglect goes unnoticed — nothing about the street view suggests it.
Clearing a rear section produces far more than a routine visit, and well beyond what kerbside collection across the Strathfield Council area takes, so it leaves with us on the day.
Back boundaries adjoining neighbours are worth keeping clear for both sides, since self-seeded growth does not respect a fence line.
Post-War Blocks, Neglected Rear Sections and Rentals
Deep blocks run a fortnightly cycle that deliberately includes the rear section rather than stopping at the used part of the yard.
Neglected rear areas are reclaimed in stages, then held with routine visits.
Fence lines, shed margins and garage strips are covered specifically, since mowers do not reach them.
Removal of established trees and structural work is landscaping rather than maintenance.
Why the Back Third Belongs in the Cycle
Excluding the rear of a deep block to save money is what creates the expensive problem, because clearing an established rear section costs many times what including it would have.
Greenz Gardenscaping has operated since 2014 with qualified horticulturists, so self-seeded species get identified and removed before they are a removal job.
Full green waste removal is included, we are public liability insured, and quotes are written after walking the entire block.
What our Clients Say
Keep up the great work guys
Thank you so much Adam & Ben!
Thank you again guys!
Brilliant result.
Thanks Greenz, I can definitely recommend you to anyone that needs the services of a gardening/ landscaping business.
We engaged Greenz to do a major gardening clean up and general lawn service on the family home. We’re busy people and really just don’t have the time to maintain the yard, so the yard and gardens really were out of control.
The team were FANTASTIC. Just WOW.
The boys cleaned up the gardens and the yard (a huge undertaking), and the yard and gardens have not looked or felt better. From the initial consultation right through to the finishing touch ups, the attention to detail, personalised service and value for money are +++.
We will absolutely be using your services again.
Thank you, Greenz!
Common Questions Before You Call
What Strathfield South homeowners ask most often.
The back of my yard is completely overgrown. Where do you start?
With a staged clear rather than one big effort, then routine visits that keep it that way. The value is in it not returning.
What are the trees growing along my back fence?
Usually self-seeded species that arrived by bird or wind. Caught small they pull out easily; left a few years they need proper removal and often take fencing with them.
How often should a deep block be serviced?
Fortnightly, and the quote should cover the whole block rather than stopping where the used part of the yard ends.
Can I just have the front and the part we use?
You can, and it is the most common way these properties end up with an expensive rear problem. We will quote it either way and say so honestly.
Do you clear behind the shed and garage?
Yes, specifically. Those margins are where neglect always begins because a mower cannot reach them.
Do you take everything away?
Yes. Clearing work produces far more than a routine visit and well past a kerbside pickup.
Can you maintain a rental property?
Yes, on a fixed schedule that runs without the owner present and continues through tenancy changes.
What is landscaping rather than maintenance?
Removing established trees, new turf and structural work. Maintenance reclaims and holds the ground you have.
