Point Piper is one of Australia’s most exclusive suburbs, defined by manicured harbourfront properties, steep waterfront slopes, intricate formal gardens and some of Sydney’s most spectacular views. Gardens here are often multi-level, designed to frame architecture and water vistas while withstanding salt exposure, variable drainage and strict access requirements. These landscapes demand precision, horticultural expertise and absolute discretion.

Project Highlight – Terraced Waterfront Garden Restoration

In a Point Piper residence overlooking Rose Bay, we revitalised a multi-level garden that combined formal structure with coastal planting:

• Rejuvenated established Buxus and Murraya hedges through staged pruning and targeted feeding
• Replaced ageing exotic shrubs with layered plantings of Westringia, Lomandra and Gardenia for texture and resilience
• Installed sub-surface drip irrigation with zone separation for upper terraces and lower waterfront beds
• Improved drainage through soil amendments and discreet French drains
• Applied uniform dark mulch to unify the design and retain moisture

Outcome: a timeless, structured garden that respects its architectural setting, thrives in coastal conditions and presents impeccably year-round.

Point Piper Gardening Tips

• Respect the structure: formal hedges and clipped plants should be pruned with precision and regularity to preserve clean architectural lines.
• Manage salt exposure carefully: use resilient species such as Lomandra, coastal rosemary, Myoporum and Westringia near waterfront edges.
• Zone your irrigation: terraces, courtyards and slopes often have different moisture needs — zone control prevents over- or under-watering.
• Prioritise drainage: steep sites benefit from targeted soil improvement and subsurface solutions to avoid waterlogging near retaining walls.
