Garden Maintenance and Design Across the Inner West

A qualified, owner-operated gardening and horticulture team, caring for Sydney’s Inner West since 2015.

There’s something particular about Inner West gardens, whether it’s a terrace in Balmain with a fig tree that’s been there for decades, a Marrickville courtyard starting fresh after a renovation, or a strata garden in Stanmore that dozens of residents walk past every day. Getting them right takes more than a regular tidy. It takes someone who actually understands plants.

Appleseed Gardening’s team of qualified gardeners and landscapers is led by Darren Kerr, a formally qualified horticulturist with certifications from UTS and Ryde TAFE. Since 2015, they have worked exclusively across the Inner West, building long-term relationships with the homeowners, strata managers and property owners who trust them with their gardens.

The Right Care for Every Inner West Garden

Some gardens need a steady, knowledgeable pair of hands to stay healthy through each season. Others need something more considered: a proper redesign, a landscape build, seasonal pruning, dedicated strata garden maintenance, or a conversation with a qualified horticulturist about why a particular plant keeps struggling.

Whatever your garden needs, Appleseed has the experience to help. Through our gardening services, we provide practical support tailored to the way you want your outdoor space to look, feel, and function.

Garden Maintenance and Design Experience

Looked after by someone who knows your garden

Inner West gardens earn their character the hard way. The clay soils in Dulwich Hill and Newtown hold water through winter and crack in summer. The shaded Annandale courtyard, where the wrong plant choice becomes obvious after the first dry spell. The established Haberfield garden, where decades of thoughtful planting need to be understood before a single thing is touched.
At Appleseed Gardening, our team have spent more than a decade working suburb by suburb, garden by garden, building the kind of local knowledge that keeps the gardens they look after thriving across every season, not just looking good after a visit.

What our clients say about their gardens.

Most of Appleseed’s clients have been with the team for years. These are their words.

We LOVE Appleseed Gardening! We have used Darren and his team at our place a few times now – from large makeovers (including retaining walls, steps, fencing and paving, to smaller jobs where where they’ve modernised our garden with clever design and plant selection. Not only are they talented, but they are professional, efficient and enjoyable to have around. We have no hesitation in recommending them for any job!

Bron , Drummoyne

Darren and his team did a wonderful job landscaping our garden from scratch, after a full renovation. He made thoughtful suggestions and met all the requirements of our garden brief which is tricky being a tight set of 3 areas, each with different climate growing zones. Darren and his team at Appleseed Gardening continue to provide us with high levels of garden maintenance. We wholeheartedly recommend Appleseed Gardening.

Following the renovation of our house, our back yard and garden were a disaster. After seeing the great work they had done on our neighbour’s backyard, we contacted Appleseed and spoke with Darren. Darren has a strong and practical sense of contemporary garden design and a vast knowledge of horticulture which was invaluable in helping us plan our subtropical garden in suburban Newtown – both the structure/layout and the plants that would be best suited to the area. This was done without the hard sell or pretence of some other garden designers we’d approached. Darren’s team were the most engaged, organised and professional tradespeople that we had worked with during our entire renovation. They were always on time, nothing was too much trouble, and at the end of each day the garden was left tidy and organised. The end result is a wonderful garden that has extended our living space, seamlessly blending the interior and exterior living environments, and importantly was delivered on budget. The garden established quickly and is lush, green and welcoming and we love it. We can’t recommend Darren and his team highly enough – they are the consummate professionals.
