Structural Landscaping Specialists

Landscaping That Starts With Earthworks

CMS Contracting has been delivering hard and soft landscaping across Greater Sydney for over two decades. Our projects range from sandstone blockwork along creek beds and retaining walls on steep residential sites through to full parkland upgrades for local councils and environmental restoration for waterway consultancies.

Because we’re also demolition, excavation, and civil contractors, we regularly deliver landscaping as the final stage of a larger project. We finished the landscaping at the Sydney Harbour Bridge after excavating the lift pits. We restore residential sites after knockdown-rebuilds. We rehabilitate land after remediation. It’s the natural end of what we do.

Turf & Garden Works

Turf stripping, soil preparation, new turf installation, mulching, and garden bed construction. Soft landscaping that completes the project after the structural work is done.

Reinstating residential and commercial sites after demolition, excavation, or remediation. Grading, topsoil, turf, fencing, and handover-ready finish to return the site to use.

Why CMS

Why Councils, Builders & Consultants Choose CMS for Landscaping

We’ve laid sandstone along Terrys Creek in Epping for Toolijooa, built pathways in Earlwood, installed block barriers for Hornsby Shire Council at North Epping, and finished the landscaping at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Structural landscaping is what we do and we bring the machinery to do it at scale.

  • Machinery on Site – Excavators from 1.5T to 22T, bobcats, positracks, and trucks. We place sandstone blocks, build walls, and move earth that handheld tools can’t handle.
  • Demo → Excavation → Civil → Landscaping – We deliver the entire project lifecycle. Landscaping is often the final stage of work we’ve already started — same crew, zero downtime.
  • Environmental Experience – Creek remediation, bank stabilisation, and habitat restoration alongside environmental consultancies. Sensitive work done with care and compliance.
