Tucked between Centennial Parklands and the fields of Queen’s Park itself, this pocket of Sydney’s east has always had a close relationship with green space, and it shows in how landscaping in Queens Park tends to get done.
Victorian-era homes line the eastern streets, giving way to Federation-style houses to the north and south, and that mix shows up in the gardens too — established plantings, sandstone retaining walls, and courtyards built to make the most of tight blocks. Being this close to Centennial Park and the remnants of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub also means the local soil and native plant palette behave a little differently to gardens further inland, something worth getting right before the first spade goes in the ground.
Bordered by Bondi Junction, Waverley and Randwick, Queens Park residents want outdoor spaces that hold up to salt air and full Sydney sun while still feeling private and considered. That’s the brief DSE Landscapes works to on every property here.
DSE covers both sides of the job: the hard landscaping — patios, driveways, walkways and retaining walls — and the soft landscaping that goes around it, from turf and garden beds to mulching and planting.
A lot of the properties we work on here also come with a pool that’s overdue for a refresh, so pool surrounds and renovations are a regular part of the job too. Irrigation gets installed early so new plantings actually survive the first summer, and outdoor lighting usually rounds things out once everything else is in place.
Between the hard and soft work, most Queens Park landscapes and gardens end up needing a bit of everything on this list.
DSE Landscapes works the way a smaller, local business should: getting to know the property and the people using it before anything gets designed or built.
Every job is treated as its own project, tailored to the budget and the way the space actually gets used, with the same team overseeing things from that first conversation through to construction. It’s a level of attention that’s harder to get from a large landscaping outfit, and it’s the reason a good share of DSE’s work in the eastern suburbs comes from word of mouth.
The relationship doesn’t end once the last stone is laid either — DSE offers ongoing maintenance to keep a garden looking the way it did on day one as it settles in and matures.
