Our Services
Professional Landscaping Maintenance in the Blue Mountains
Protect your investment with professional maintenance services from Waratah Earthworks. We provide ongoing inspection and upkeep of completed projects, checking drainage, retaining walls, grading, and landscape elements to ensure long-term performance throughout the Blue Mountains.
Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become major problems and extends the life of your earthworks and landscape improvements. Whether we completed the original work or you need professional attention for existing features, our maintenance services keep your property performing as designed.
Why Maintenance Matters
Even the best-constructed earthworks and landscapes benefit from regular maintenance. Blue Mountains conditions including high rainfall, clay soils, temperature variations, and vegetation growth create ongoing challenges that require periodic attention.
Small problems like blocked drains, minor erosion, settling, or vegetation encroachment are easily and inexpensively addressed when caught early. Left unattended, these same issues escalate into costly repairs requiring extensive work. Regular maintenance is far more cost-effective than major repairs and protects your property investment.
Maintenance also ensures your outdoor spaces remain functional, safe, and attractive. Well-maintained drainage prevents flooding, properly maintained retaining walls remain stable, graded surfaces continue draining correctly, and landscapes stay healthy and appealing.
Maintenance Services We Provide
Drainage System Maintenance
Drainage systems require periodic inspection and cleaning to function correctly. We inspect drainage systems for blockages or damage, clean French drains and subsurface systems, clear debris from swales and surface drains, flush and clean culverts and pipes.
Retaining Wall Inspection & Repairs
Retaining walls require monitoring for signs of movement, damage, or drainage issues. We inspect walls for cracks, movement, or leaning, check drainage behind walls is functioning, repair minor damage before it worsens, address vegetation growing in or on walls, verify stability and structural integrity
Grading Touch-Ups & Corrections
Over time, grading can change due to settling, erosion, or material movement. We inspect grading around buildings and structures, correct low spots that collect water, repair erosion damage, restore proper drainage slopes, address settling in filled areas, and re-establish grades that have changed.
Driveway Maintenance
Driveways require regular maintenance to remain functional and attractive. We top-dress gravel driveways with fresh material, repair potholes and damaged areas, re-establish proper grades and cross-falls, maintain or repair drainage features, address erosion and washout areas, and compact and smooth surfaces.
Seasonal Inspections
We offer seasonal inspection services particularly valuable after winter when frost and heavy rain can cause damage, and after summer when heat and dry conditions stress systems. Seasonal inspections identify any damage or issues requiring attention before they worsen.
Strom Damage Assessment
Severe storms can damage earthworks and landscapes. We provide post-storm assessment and repair services including inspecting for storm damage, repairing erosion and washouts, clearing blocked drainage, addressing slope failures or movement, and restoring grades and surfaces.
Maintenance for Projects We've Completed
For projects we’ve completed, we have detailed knowledge of the work performed, materials used, and design specifications. This allows efficient, targeted maintenance that addresses specific requirements of your installation.
We keep records of our completed projects and can schedule regular maintenance visits to ensure ongoing performance. Many clients establish annual or seasonal maintenance schedules to protect their investments and ensure continued function.
Maintenance for Existing Features
We also provide maintenance services for earthworks and landscape features we didn’t originally install. This includes drainage systems, retaining walls, driveways, grading, and hardscape features that need professional attention.
During initial assessment, we evaluate existing conditions, identify any issues or concerns, and recommend appropriate maintenance or repairs. Our experience with Blue Mountains properties means we understand common problems and effective solutions even for work completed by others.
