About Fernline
You explain what you want once, to one person, and that person draws it, prices it and runs the build. Nothing gets lost between a designer's plan and a builder's guess, so the drainage, the levels and the plants on your drawing are the ones you end up with.
If your block slopes, sits on clay or catches the salt wind, we've seen it before: 386 gardens across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie since 2014.
Walls and paving to hold your yard together, then the lawn and planting that make it yours. One crew does all five.
Six of this year's jobs, and the problem each owner had before we started: a sunken path in Hamilton, a bank washing away in Cameron Park. Sample projects: this is a demo.

Every wall over 600mm is built to an engineer's design, and every job comes with a written workmanship warranty.
The same five steps whether you need one wall or the whole block, and you see the price before anything starts.
We walk the block with you, measure it, and check the slope, the soil and where the water goes in a storm. Free, about an hour.
A scaled plan of your garden: walls, paving, levels, drainage and every plant by name. You change it until it's right.
A written price for your drawing, item by item. It doesn't move unless you change the plan.
Our own crew, from footings to the last paver. Walls over 600mm go in to an engineer's design, with the approval in place first.
We plant, mulch and water in, then walk you through your new garden and leave a care sheet for the first summer.
If you're in Newcastle or Lake Macquarie, we're usually within twenty minutes of your place, from our yard in Broadmeadow.
Sample reviews: this is a demo, and a real client's own reviews replace these at launch.
The site visit and the drawing for a garden we build are included in the quote, so you don't pay for a design separately. Most of our backyard jobs land between $15,000 and $60,000 + GST, depending on walls, paving and how much of the block changes. You get a fixed price, item by item, before anything starts.
One of the Fernline Landscapes crew comes to your place, usually within a week of your call. We walk the yard with you, measure it, check the slope, the soil and where the water goes, and ask how you want to use the space. About a week later you get a drawing and a fixed quote, item by item. The visit costs nothing and you're not committed to anything.
Yes. In NSW, structural landscaping over $5,000 (walls, paving, decks, pergolas, fencing) needs a contractor licence, and the licence number has to be on the advertising. Fernline Landscapes' licence number is on every page of this site, and your quote shows which parts of your job are licensed work.
All of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie from our yard in Broadmeadow: Hamilton, Georgetown, Wallsend, Maryland and Fletcher on the Newcastle side, and Warners Bay, Glendale, Cameron Park, Belmont and Toronto around the lake. If you're a bit further out, ring and ask.
A single wall or a paved patio is usually one to two weeks on site. A full backyard with walls, paving, turf and planting runs four to eight weeks. The start date is in the quote, and so is the finish date.
No. Pool building is specialist work under its own licence, and we leave it to pool builders. We often do the garden, paving and planting around a new pool once it's in.
A few photos and a rough idea is enough. We'll ring to book a free site visit, then send a fixed quote with a drawing.
