Garden Maintenance Double Bay
Double Bay expects gardens to look considered, whether it is a private courtyard or the entry to an apartment block. Greenz Gardenscaping maintains both to a formal standard, on schedules tight enough that nothing is ever visibly overdue.

Garden Maintenance to a Double Bay Standard
Double Bay garden maintenance is formal work on a tight cycle: clipped hedging and borders trimmed to line, courtyard and planter care, weeding, mulching and feeding. Most properties run fortnightly with hedging scheduled separately by species and season.
Double Bay sits between a commercial village and some of the most tightly held residential streets in Sydney, and its planting reflects that. Clipped hedging, defined borders and courtyard gardens designed to look composed rather than natural are the dominant style.
A large share of the suburb is apartments, which makes common-area presentation disproportionately important. An entry garden here is effectively the front door of the building, and it is judged accordingly.
The private gardens tend to be compact but highly finished. Small courtyards, formal borders and screen planting for privacy between closely spaced properties are the standard components, and all of them depend on being kept exactly to their line.
Formal Planting Needs a Tight Cycle
Formal gardens fail differently to informal ones. An informal garden that is a month overdue just looks lush. A clipped hedge or a defined border that is a month overdue looks neglected, because the entire effect rests on the line being crisp.
That makes cycle timing the central discipline near Double Bay. Hedging goes on its own schedule based on species and season rather than being trimmed when someone notices it, which keeps the look consistent instead of oscillating between sharp and shaggy.
Courtyards and planters need their own rhythm again. Planted containers dry out and lose nutrient far faster than in-ground beds, so watering assessment and feeding matter more than cutting.

Street and Entry Presentation
In a suburb where the buildings sit close to the street, the few metres of planting at the entry carries an outsized share of the impression. Clean edges, no gaps in the border and planting kept clear of the path do most of that work.
Volume from a full common-area cycle exceeds what kerbside collection in the Woollahra Municipal Council area is designed to handle, and there is rarely space to stage it in a village-density suburb. Everything we cut leaves with us on the day.
The species that suit the look also suit the conditions. Buxus, Murraya and Pittosporum clip cleanly, tolerate reflected heat off paving and buildings, and take two to four trims a year comfortably.
Apartments, Courtyards and Village Frontages
Residential buildings need a scheduled common-area program: entry gardens, shared courtyards and planters, generally fortnightly with reporting after each visit.
Private courtyard gardens are compact but exacting, and usually run fortnightly with hedging on a separate cycle to keep formal lines intact.
Commercial and mixed-use frontages need the tightest presentation cycle of all, since street-level planting reads as part of the business front.
Where a courtyard needs redesigning or new planting installed, that is landscaping rather than maintenance.
Why Double Bay Properties Use Greenz
Formal planting is where horticultural knowledge shows most clearly. Our team are qualified horticulturists, and knowing how each species responds to a cut is what keeps hedges dense rather than opening up.
Greenz Gardenscaping has operated since 2014 and already maintains strata, body corporate and commercial properties across Sydney, with scheduled programs and per-visit reporting as standard.
Full green waste removal is included, we are public liability insured, and quotes are written after a site walk with a fixed itemised scope before anything starts.
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 Double Bay residents, owners and building managers ask most often.
How often do formal hedges need trimming to stay sharp?
Two to four trims a year for the species common near Double Bay, with light shaping through spring and autumn and structural work in late winter. Formal borders usually need the tighter end of that range, because the whole effect depends on the line holding.
Do you maintain apartment entry gardens and common areas?
Yes. Entry beds, shared courtyards and planters are maintained on scheduled programs with reporting after each visit for building managers and strata committees.
My planters dry out constantly. What can be done?
Planted containers lose water and nutrient far faster than in-ground beds. The practical fixes are correct media, consistent feeding and realistic plant selection for the exposure, rather than simply watering more often.
How often should a private courtyard be serviced?
Fortnightly suits most Double Bay courtyards, with hedging on its own cycle. Very small paved courtyards with limited planting can work monthly.
Do you handle commercial frontages in the village?
Yes. Mixed-use and commercial street-level planting is maintained on a tighter presentation cycle, since it forms part of the shopfront.
What happens to the clippings?
Full green waste removal is included every visit. Nothing is left in a shared bin area or staged on the street.
Can you keep screen planting dense for privacy?
Yes, and it is mostly a matter of how and when it is cut. Regular light trimming encourages density, while occasional hard cutting tends to open a screen up and take a season to recover.
Is this different from your landscaping service?
Yes. Maintenance keeps existing planting in order on a cycle. New courtyard designs, planting installations and paving are landscaping.
