Fences, gates, retaining walls and landscaping built across St Ives 2075 — licensed, insured and quoted in writing.
Fencing and Landscaping Experts cover all of St Ives, NSW 2075, in Ku-ring-gai 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 sandstone shelf close to the surface, so posts are frequently drilled and chemically anchored into sandstone rather than concreted into a dug hole. Bushfire prone land applies to much of the suburb, so material within the asset protection zone has to be non-combustible. 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 St Ives 2075. St Ives sits against Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, so a large share of the suburb is bushfire prone land where fencing within the asset protection zone has to be non-combustible.
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 St Ives is sandy sandstone-derived soils with rock close to the surface across much of the suburb, and the suburb is characterised by large post-war blocks with deep rear yards, pools and extensive gardens. Ku-ring-gai Council is the consent authority for St Ives, so where a job needs approval that is the path we work through with you.

The constraints that come up most often on a St Ives 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.
Ku-ring-gai Council is the consent authority for St Ives. 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 St Ives 2075: 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 St Ives, not over the phone. That matters here because sandstone close to the surface in St Ives frequently means rock drilling rather than digging, 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 St Ives 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 St Ives 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 St Ives, we work throughout St Ives Chase, Pymble, Gordon, Turramurra and Belrose, and right across the Upper North Shore and the wider northern Sydney area.
Three things. The ground is sandstone shelf close to the surface, so posts are frequently drilled and chemically anchored into sandstone rather than concreted into a dug hole. Ku-ring-gai Council is the consent authority for St Ives, 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.
