Cammeray blocks sit close together, so the boundary line is where most of the gardening questions actually arise.

Boundary and Screening Work Across Cammeray
Cammeray garden maintenance deals with close neighbours: semis and narrow blocks mean most gardens share two boundaries, and screening, overhang and the hedge between you and next door are the recurring issues. Fortnightly suits most properties.
Cammeray is built on a tighter grid than the suburbs either side, with a high proportion of semis and narrow freestanding blocks between the ridge and the Middle Harbour valleys.
That proximity shapes the gardening. Most properties share two boundaries, so screening, privacy and what overhangs a fence matter far more than they would on a generous block.
It is also where most disputes start – a hedge that has grown beyond its side, a tree dropping into a neighbour’s gutter, or screening that has thinned and stopped doing its job.
Getting the Boundary Right
A hedge has two faces and only one owner, and trimming only your side is what produces the thin, lopsided screening so common on close blocks.
Screening works from the base up. Planting that thins at the bottom has already stopped doing its job, even while the top still looks full, and that is usually what prompts the complaint.
Overhang is the other recurring issue. Keeping growth back to the boundary line as part of a cycle avoids the conversation entirely, which is worth more than being technically within rights.

Narrow Frontages and Shared Lines
Frontages here are shallow and close together, so a consistent line along the street matters more than any individual garden standing out.
Clippings from boundary work exceed what kerbside collection across the North Sydney Council area takes in one go, so everything leaves with us on the day.
Where a hedge sits on a shared line, agreeing the height and face with both households before cutting saves far more trouble than it costs.
Semis, Narrow Blocks and Shared Boundaries
Semis and narrow blocks run a fortnightly cycle covering frontage, side access and rear yard.
Boundary hedges are held to line on a species cycle rather than cut back occasionally.
Screening is maintained from the base up, which is where it fails first.
New turf, planting and fencing are landscaping rather than maintenance.
Why Boundary Work Needs Doing Properly
Screening that has thinned at the base cannot be fixed by cutting the top, and the usual response – a hard cut – makes it considerably worse for a season or two.
Greenz Gardenscaping has operated since 2014 with qualified horticulturists, so a hedge gets renovated on a plan rather than cut back and hoped over.
Full green waste removal is included, we are public liability insured, and quotes are written after seeing the property.
What our Clients Say
Common Questions Before You Call
What Cammeray homeowners ask most often.
My hedge is thin at the bottom but full on top. Can that be fixed?
Often yes, gradually. Cutting the top harder makes it worse; renovating over a couple of seasons is what brings foliage back down.
Can you trim both sides of a boundary hedge?
Where both households agree, yes, and it is much better for the plant. Trimming one face only is what produces lopsided, thin screening.
What about branches overhanging my neighbour's side?
We keep growth back to the boundary line as part of the cycle, which avoids the conversation rather than relying on being within rights.
How often should a Cammeray garden be serviced?
Fortnightly suits most properties, with boundary hedging on a species cycle two to four times a year.
My neighbour's tree drops into my gutter. Can you help?
We can trim what is on your side and advise on the rest. Work on their tree needs their agreement and sometimes council approval.
Do you take the clippings away?
Yes, every visit. Boundary work produces more than one kerbside pickup handles.
Do you mow the verge?
Yes, verge mowing and edging is included as standard.
What is landscaping rather than maintenance?
New turf, planting and fencing. Maintenance keeps the boundary working for both sides.
