Hedging
Specialists
The final touch your garden deserves.
The Craft
Precision That
Shows in Every Line
Formal hedging is rare, demanding, and — when done right — one of the most striking things a garden can offer. Clean geometry, correct seasonal timing, and a thorough understanding of each species: buxus, lilly pilly, leighton green, murraya, camellia screens.
We document every transformation. Before and after galleries coming soon.

Meet Benji
Hi — I'm Benji Kerkin, owner and operator of Benji's Gardens. I started this business because I genuinely love the craft of garden work, and hedging in particular. There's something satisfying about transforming an overgrown mess into clean, precise lines that make a property look completely different.
I work across Sydney's best neighbourhoods — the Hills District acreage, the formal gardens of the Upper North Shore, and the heritage streetscapes of the Inner West. Every job gets the same standard: professional-grade equipment, a clean-site finish, and a result I'm proud to put my name on.
Fully insured, reliable, and always happy to give advice on what your garden actually needs.
