At Now & Zen Landscapes, we provide specialist garden maintenance services across the Blue Mountains for homeowners who want their gardens cared for properly, consistently, and with expert attention to detail.
We work with clients who value beautiful outdoor spaces and want them maintained year-round through fortnightly or monthly garden visits. We deliver professional gardening services that keep established gardens healthy, refined, and thriving in the unique conditions of the Mountains.
If you’re searching for experienced landscape gardeners in the Blue Mountains who understand cool-climate gardens, native landscapes, and the changing seasons across the region, you’re in the right place.
Gardening in the Blue Mountains isn’t the same as gardening in Sydney. The dramatic shift in altitude from Glenbrook to Mount Victoria creates multiple climate zones — and each one affects how a garden should be maintained.
Because we maintain gardens across all elevations, we tailor our gardening maintenance services to what your specific garden actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Our team has hands-on experience caring for gardens across:
Glenbrook, Blaxland, Springwood, Faulconbridge
• Warmer temperatures, higher humidity
• Fast growth through spring / summer
• Increased pest and fungal pressure
• Pruning, shaping, and airflow management essential
Woodford, Hazelbrook, Lawson, Bullaburra
• Cooler temperatures and frequent mist
• Strong seasonal plant cycles
• Deciduous gardens require structured seasonal care
• Soil improvement and drainage are key
Wentworth Falls, Leura, Katoomba, Blackheath, Mt Vic
• True cool-climate gardening conditions
• Frost, occasional snow, and slow winter growth
• Knowledge of cold-tolerant plants and pruning timing
• Protection and preparation work before winter is crucial
Our garden services are designed for new and established gardens that deserve skilled, consistent care.
Healthy lawns in the Blue Mountains require more than a quick mow. We provide professional lawn maintenance as part of our ongoing service plans, ensuring your lawn stays in top shape all year round. Our lawn care includes correct mowing heights, edge detailing, weed management and seasonal fertilising.
Correct pruning timing is critical in the Mountains, especially for cool-climate perennials, deciduous trees, fruit trees, roses, hydrangeas, and structured shrubs. We prune for plant health, shape, airflow, and long-term structure — not just a quick trim.
Healthy soil is the foundation of a beautiful garden. We monitor soil condition, apply organic soil improvers where needed, and mulch appropriately to regulate moisture and temperature — especially important in both frosty Upper Mountains gardens and the warmer Lower Mountains.
Mountain gardens can be prone to invasive weeds and seasonal pest outbreaks. We provide proactive, low-impact weed control and monitor plant health to prevent issues before they become major problems.
We maintain crisp garden edges, defined beds, and balanced plant forms so your garden looks cared for year-round — not just after a big clean-up.
As we get to know your garden, we can suggest plant replacements, seasonal colour, or structural improvements that enhance the space over time.
Gardens in Leura, Katoomba, Wentworth Falls, Blackheath, and Mount Victoria often feature classic cool-climate plants such as:
– Maples and deciduous feature trees
– Camellias and rhododendrons
– Apple, cherry, plum and other fruit trees
– Hellebores and woodland perennials
– Structured hedging and layered shrub borders
These gardens need gardeners who understand frost impact, seasonal dormancy, and precise pruning windows. Our experience maintaining cool-climate gardens means we know when to act — and just as importantly, when to leave plants undisturbed.
We work best with clients who:
– Want their garden looking its best all year
– Value professional horticultural knowledge
– Prefer ongoing garden maintenance (fortnightly or monthly)
– Have established gardens that need skilled care
– Appreciate detail, plant health, and long-term garden development
Our schedule is dedicated to regular clients who want a reliable, professional gardener in the Blue Mountains.
We understand the soils, rainfall, frost patterns, and microclimates that shape gardens across the Mountains.
Our team brings horticultural knowledge and practical experience. Owner Shannon Decker is President of The Landscape Association. We care for gardens properly, using the right techniques at the right time of year.
Because we focus on ongoing maintenance, we build real familiarity with your garden. That means better plant health, smarter decisions, and a landscape that improves over time.
Clear communication, scheduled visits, and respectful care of your property come standard.
