Getting Started

Complete landscape design and construction in Mount Colah

A Bargain Gardener provides complete landscape design and construction services throughout Mount Colah and the wider Hornsby Council region. While regular garden maintenance helps keep an established outdoor area looking its best, landscape design and construction is a larger investment, delivering a full transformation designed to shape the outdoor space you want for the next decade and beyond. Mount Colah is part of Hornsby Council’s recognised Upper North Shore character, with generous blocks, sandstone features, bushland reserves, and mature, leafy residential streets shaped by the Hornsby Plateau. Landscape projects in Mount Colah often include sandstone retaining walls for sloping sites, bushland-interface landscaping near Berowra Valley National Park, complete backyard makeovers for family homes, and premium garden redesigns in established suburbs such as Beecroft, Cherrybrook, and Cheltenham. Free design consultations. Fixed-price project quotes. One dedicated point of contact from start to finish. Guaranteed workmanship on every build.

Thoughtful landscape design is not just about looks – it is about helping your Mount Colah property better support the way you live every day.

Core Expertise

Landscape qualities unique to Hornsby Council

Across Mount Colah and the wider LGA, our landscape work is defined by three specialised design capabilities, each requiring expert input.

Landscape design for Berowra Valley bushland-edge properties

Berowra Valley National Park and surrounding bushland reserves border several Hornsby Council suburbs, including Berowra, Berowra Heights, Hornsby Heights, Mount Colah, and Mount Kuring-Gai, where nearby properties need a considered landscape approach. Bushland-interface design requires native and drought-tolerant plant choices, bushfire-resistant planting near reserve boundaries, sandstone retaining walls that reflect the local environment, and awareness of bushfire-prone land requirements for structural features.

Hornsby Plateau sloping-block sandstone landscapes

The natural geography of the Hornsby Plateau gives many Mount Colah properties sloped blocks that call for structural retaining wall solutions to form usable outdoor areas. Sandstone outcrops are widespread across the LGA, especially in Asquith, Hornsby, Waitara, and Westleigh. We design tiered landscapes with sandstone retaining walls that sit comfortably within the natural geology, plus timber sleeper and concrete block options where cost or design preferences differ. Engineering helps ensure stability on Hornsby’s sloping ground.

Landscape design for premium leafy established suburbs

In Beecroft, Cheltenham, Cherrybrook, North Epping, and Pennant Hills, substantial premium gardens with mature street trees and established leafy character require sensitive landscape design. The approach balances preservation of existing mature plantings with new hardscape integration, soft landscaping refinements, and outdoor entertaining areas that enhance rather than compete with the leafy character.

End-to-end property landscape redesign, from site clearing and design development through to hardscape construction, including decking, paving, and retaining walls, turf laying, garden bed creation, planting, mulching, and finishing touches. Frequently completed across Pennant Hills, Thornleigh, and Cherrybrook family homes.

Sandstone retaining walls for steep blocks

A hallmark of Hornsby Plateau landscaping, sandstone retaining walls work with the natural landscape, turn sloped blocks into usable level garden areas, and add architectural interest. Common across Asquith, Hornsby, Waitara, and Westleigh.

Custom timber decking, hardwood and treated pine options. Outdoor entertaining areas, pool surrounds, elevated garden decking suited to Mount Colah sloped properties where ground-level patios aren’t practical.

Common across Berowra, Berowra Heights, Mount Colah, Mount Kuring-Gai, and Hornsby Heights.
