Fences, gates, retaining walls and landscaping built across Hornsby 2077 — licensed, insured and quoted in writing.
Fencing and Landscaping Experts cover all of Hornsby, NSW 2077, in Hornsby Shire Council's area on the Upper North Shore. We build fencing, gates, retaining walls and landscaping: Colorbond, timber and aluminium fencing, glass and aluminium pool barriers, sleeper, block and sandstone walls, and slope terracing. The ground locally is reactive clay that moves seasonally, so footings are sized for clay that swells and shrinks through the seasons, which is what pushes undersized posts out of plumb. Every job is quoted in writing after a free on-site measure. Licensed in NSW, insured to $20 million. Phone 0492 879 796.
We build fences, gates, retaining walls and landscaping across Hornsby 2077. Hornsby Shire's controls differ from Ku-ring-gai's next door, so a fence that is exempt development one street south may need a different approach here — worth checking before the posts go in.
The Upper North Shore is Sydney's leafiest fencing environment. Large blocks, mature canopy and Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby's tree-protection controls mean post holes frequently land inside a tree protection zone, and heritage conservation areas set the tone for what a front fence is allowed to look like.
The ground in Hornsby is clay ridge through the town centre falling steeply to sandstone creek lines east and west, and the suburb is characterised by a broad mix from original cottages to large new builds and dense unit stock around the station. Hornsby Shire Council is the consent authority for Hornsby, so where a job needs approval that is the path we work through with you.

The constraints that come up most often on a Hornsby job are tree protection zones, heritage conservation area controls and sloping sandstone-over-shale blocks. None of those is unusual here, and none of them is something we discover halfway through — they are priced into the quote.
Hornsby Shire Council is the consent authority for Hornsby. Standard dividing fences are normally exempt development; front fencing, extra height, retaining walls over the 600mm exempt threshold, heritage items and bushfire prone land are the usual triggers for an application, and we tell you which applies before you commit.
We cover the full range in Hornsby 2077: Colorbond, timber, aluminium and pool fencing, boundary and front fences, privacy screens, timber and automatic gates, fence repairs and replacement, retaining walls in timber, concrete, block and sandstone, and slope landscaping including terracing and drainage.
No. Quotes are free and come after an on-site measure in Hornsby, not over the phone. That matters here because heavy clay in Hornsby excavates readily but holds water, which changes the drainage design, and a fixed written price is only meaningful once we have seen the access, the fall and the ground.
Yes. We hold a NSW contractor licence and carry $20 million in public liability cover, and we have been building fencing, gates, walls and landscaping across Sydney since 2016, including right across the Upper North Shore.
Most residential fencing in Hornsby is one to two days on site. Retaining walls run from a few days for garden terracing to a couple of weeks for engineered structural work. Most Hornsby properties have good vehicle access, though long side runs past mature trees still mean a fair amount of hand-carrying. We give you a firm timeline in the quote.
As well as Hornsby, we work throughout Waitara, Normanhurst, Wahroonga, Asquith and Mount Colah, and right across the Upper North Shore and the wider northern Sydney area.
Three things. The ground is reactive clay that moves seasonally, so footings are sized for clay that swells and shrinks through the seasons, which is what pushes undersized posts out of plumb. Hornsby Shire Council is the consent authority for Hornsby, and the exempt thresholds that matter are 1.8m for a side or rear dividing fence and 600mm for a retaining wall. And a dividing fence is a shared cost with your neighbour under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991, so we write quotes in a form you can hand straight to them.
