About FDSS Landscaping

Shaping Sydney Landscapes With Care

Rooted in Sydney soil since our first garden makeover more than a decade ago, FDSS Landscaping has grown into a respected partner for homeowners, strata committees and commercial managers across the Harbour City. From compact Inner Sydney courtyards to sloping blocks in North St Marys, our licensed team blends creative design with meticulous construction to deliver landscapes that thrive in the local climate. We specialise in bespoke retaining walls, water-wise plant selection and low-maintenance paving that stand up to Sydney’s sun and summer downpours. Every project is handled by the same family-owned crew from consultation to final clean-up, ensuring clear communication and workmanship you can measure in millimetres. Proudly Australian-owned and fully insured, we follow sustainable practices, recycle site waste and source quality materials from trusted NSW suppliers. Our mission is simple: enrich everyday living with outdoor spaces that look incredible today and keep adding value well into the future, all while treating each client’s property as if it were our own. That dedication has earned five-star reviews and repeat work from clients right across Greater Sydney over the years.

Landscape and Retaining Wall Expertise

Our licensed trades cover every stage from sketches to final plant care. By integrating structurally sound retaining walls with thoughtful garden design, we solve slope, drainage and privacy challenges while creating outdoor rooms that invite year-round use. We source certified hardwood, A-grade sandstone and premium turf grown for Sydney’s climate, guaranteeing durability without compromising style. Homeowners, builders and strata committees choose us for clear timelines, tidy sites and a single point of contact from concept to completion. Whether you need a fresh courtyard layout in Surry Hills or a multi-tier backyard in North St Marys, our crew brings proven solutions that respect budgets and council codes. Expert drainage planning and eco-friendly mulching keep your investment healthy and add lasting value.

Sustainability and Core Values

Every design we deliver respects Sydney’s environment and the families that enjoy it. We capture rainwater where possible, specify drought-tolerant natives suited to coastal soils and integrate high-efficiency irrigation that can cut usage by 40 percent. FSC-certified or reclaimed hardwood replaces new timber, and stone off-cuts become feature edging rather than landfill. All green waste is mulched or recycled through approved facilities, reducing carbon impact and keeping your garden healthy for years. We also favour low-VOC finishes to protect indoor air quality and neighbourhood wellbeing.

  • Integrity – Honest advice and clear costing keep expectations and outcomes aligned
  • Craftsmanship – Skilled hands and premium materials produce landscapes that endure Sydney conditions
  • Safety – Strict WHS policies safeguard clients crews and surrounding properties every day
  • Community – We source local supplies and plant species that nurture native wildlife

Our Proven 5 Step Project Method

A clear roadmap means no wasted days or hidden surprises. Our clients know exactly what will happen, when it will happen and how much it will cost before a shovel hits the ground. This five-stage framework streamlines council approvals, shortens construction time and delivers predictable quality. It also lets property owners schedule other trades with confidence, keeps neighbours informed and ensures every step is documented.

  • Discovery Call – Share project goals and photos so our team can confirm scope and suitability
  • Site Consultation and Quote – We assess levels, services and council constraints then provide a fixed price
  • Concept and Engineering Drawings – Detailed plans 3D visuals and structural specs align beauty with compliance
  • Construction and Project Management – Licensed trades build to schedule with daily tidiness checks and progress updates
  • Final Walk through and After Care – Together we inspect workmanship hand over care tips and activate warranty support

Service Footprint From Harbour City Streets to Western Suburb Backyards

Our crews travel across Greater Sydney bringing location-specific landscaping and retaining-wall solutions. Sandstone bedrock in the CBD calls for precise anchoring and compact planting, while the expansive clay soils of North St Marys favour engineered sleeper walls and deep-rooted natives. Wherever we work, designs are adapted to micro-climate, council guidelines and the everyday needs of homeowners and strata managers.

  • Sydney CBD & Inner City – Slimline sandstone walls and shade-tolerant plant palettes thrive between heritage terraces
  • Eastern Suburbs – Coastal winds tamed with salt-resilient natives and corrosion-proof fixings
  • Inner West – Courtyard makeovers maximise space with vertical gardens and permeable paving
  • North St Marys & Western Suburbs – Stabilised sleeper walls and hardy turf handle reactive clay and summer heat
