Landscaping in the eastern suburbs area of Sydney is predominantly influenced by its mild climate and relaxed urban lifestyle.

Proximity to the sea provides these fortunate suburbs with a temperate frost-free climate well-suited to the typical Australian native plants of the eastern seaboard such as banksias and grevilleas. But, increasingly, with global warming, sub-tropical varieties more characteristic of Queensland gardens such as palm trees and cordylines are finding a home in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

As Sydney's population continues to grow, land in this area of the city is being more and more built over and properties subdivided. Gardens are getting smaller and their role is changing. Homeowners here are now turning them into well-presented, low-maintenance outdoor entertainment areas often referred to as “Outdoor Room”. Increasing water-restrictions mean that grass and swimming pools are out, while decks and paved areas are in.

Landscape gardening is becoming a sophisticated art and increasingly requires skills more traditionally associated with such fields as architecture, engineering, building, water conservation etc.

Having worked for many years in Sydney's eastern suburbs, GardenLink is in tune with these changing climatic and life-style trends and can offer designs and skills to create gardens and outdoor areas to enable its customers to enjoy to the full the advantages of eastern suburbs living.
