Sustainable Features and Stylish Planting

FDSS Landscaping designs gardens that look good and do good. By selecting drought-tolerant natives and subtropicals suited to Sydney’s climate, we reduce water bills while delivering vibrant colour throughout the year. Permeable paving, rain-garden filtration and organic mulches capture storm-water and enrich soil biology. Discreet low-voltage LED lighting extends outdoor living after sunset, while smart controllers schedule irrigation only when plants need it. Your landscape becomes a stylish retreat that actively shrinks your environmental footprint.

Engineered Retaining Walls and Structural Elements

Stabilise sloping ground and gain usable outdoor space with FDSS Landscaping’s licensed retaining-wall specialists. Our team designs and builds sandstone blocks, concrete sleepers and brick gravity walls that are engineered for Sydney’s soils, finished with concealed drainage, geotextiles and weep holes for long-term integrity. Every structure is tailored to site constraints—whether a narrow Inner-City courtyard or a steep North St Marys backyard—so your garden layout, safety and visual flow are all enhanced.

  • Licensed crews and engineered footings
  • Integrated sub-soil drainage
  • Materials matched to landscape style
