Fernline Native & Coastal Planting
The nursery bestseller that dies by March was never suited to salt wind and sand over clay. We plant to a schedule: locally native and coastal-hardy species matched to your soil, sun and exposure, each named by species and pot size in the proposal.
What this job includes.
- ✓Planting design matched to soil, sun and salt exposure
- ✓Locally native species that feed birds and pollinators
- ✓Soil preparation, mulch and drip irrigation
- ✓Coastal screening and privacy planting that copes with wind
- ✓A 12-week establishment plan with replacement guarantee
Seven lines, every job, no allowances.
Whatever the service, the proposal itemises the same way, so you always know what you are paying for.
- 1 The scaled design. A measured plan of your block, drawn to scale and signed off by you before anything is dug or ordered.
- 2 Site prep & drainage. Excavation, soil improvement and where the water goes. Priced as its own line, never buried in "site costs".
- 3 Structures, itemised. Deck, pergola, retaining walls and steps, each with its spec, footing detail and engineering where required.
- 4 Materials, named. Spotted gum or blackbutt, sandstone or block, named in the proposal so nothing gets quietly substituted.
- 5 The planting schedule. Every plant by species and pot size, chosen for your soil, sun and salt exposure, not a "$3,000 planting allowance".
- 6 Approvals & certification. DA, CDC or exempt, stated up front. Where approval or engineering is needed, the path and the cost are in the proposal.
- 7 Warranty & handover care. The 5-year structural warranty in writing, plus a 12-week establishment plan so the planting actually survives.
What happens, step by step.
Design visit & measure
We walk the block with you, measure it properly, and talk budget honestly. How you live outside drives the design.
Design & itemised proposal
A scaled plan with structures, materials and a full planting schedule, priced line by line. You sign off the drawing, not a guess.
Build, staged and tidy
Earthworks, drainage, structures, then planting, in that order. The site is left safe and tidy every single evening.
Plant & hand over
Planting to the schedule, mulch, irrigation checks, then a walkthrough against the plan and a 12-week establishment guide.
The paperwork behind the price.
Public liability to $20M, and a 5-year structural workmanship warranty, all in writing, all on request.
Structural landscaping over $5,000 in NSW legally requires a licensed contractor, and our licence number is on every contract. Public liability to $20M protects your property while we work, and the 5-year structural workmanship warranty covers the decks, walls, paving and drainage we build. Every plant on the schedule is backed by a 12-week establishment guarantee. Certificates of currency are yours on request before any deposit.
