About Wildside

Welcome to Wildside Gardens & Gutters!

Here we provide exceptional gardening, guttering, and roofing services in Canberra and its surrounding suburbs.

Wildside was founded by Sam, a certified horticulturist and fully licensed roof plumber. Sam has over 10 years experience working as a roof plumber. However, his passion for plants, gardening, and the wilderness, drove to him to a career change. After completing a certificate III in horticulture, and gaining experience in conservation land management, landscaping, and garden maintenance, he decided it was finally time to start his own journey and business venture. Thus Wildside Gardens & Gutters was born!

Sam’s obsessive perfectionism ensures meticulous and detail orientated work, whilst his creativity allows for stunning garden designs. Not only is he highly knowledgeable in all things gardening, Sam prides himself in ensuring exceptional communication and customer service from start to finish of any project.

Wildside Gardens & Gutters may be a small business, but we have BIG dreams! We hope you allow us to bring the serenity of nature into your home.

Our Expertise & Services

What exactly do we do?

At Wildside Gardens & Gutters, we offer a range of garden, guttering, and roofing services for both residential and commercial properties in Canberra, ACT and its surrounding suburbs.

Not sure exactly what a gardener does? At Wildside we can help with:

Garden Designs and Makeovers:

o Advice on the right plant selection for your specific garden needs, personal style, and climate

o Consultation on sustainability practices (e.g. water saving techniques, native plant guide)

o Irrigation installation and repairs

o Mulching, soil preparation, and planting

o Installation of pavers and garden features

Lawn maintenance and installation

o Installation of new lawn

o Regular lawn mowing

o Renovation and aeration (the process of perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. Helps keep your grass green and healthy!)

o Lawn Fertilization

o Weed and pest management

Hedging, Topiary, and Pruning

Pruning plants is the process of selectively trimming or cutting branches, buds, or roots of a plant. It is particularly important for:

o Promoting the health and vigor of plants

o Controlling size and shape

o Stimulating growth and flowering

o Improving air circulation and light penetration

o Reducing risk of damage

o Encouraging fruit and flower development

Hedging and Topiary is the process of trimming and shaping shrubs or bushes into a formal or informal barrier or boundary. This can also be done to provide artistic garden features that are intricate or geometric forms, often resembling animals, objects, or abstract designs.

General Garden Maintenance

At Wildside we also offer a range of regular garden maintenance services. This can include:

o Weed control (hand weeding or chemical spraying)

o Garden clean ups (removal of overgrown plants, dead leaves, branches, and debris)

o Green waste removal

o Small tree removal

Beyond our love for gardens, we're also experts in residential gutter and roof repairs. These services include:

• Installing or repairing guttering systems to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it away from the building's foundation

• Installing or repairing downpipes to carry rainwater from the gutters to ground-level drains or storage tanks

• Installing or repairing roof flashings and waterproof membranes to prevent water infiltration around roof penetrations, such as chimneys, vents, and skylights

• Installing roof drainage outlets and overflow relief devices to prevent water buildup on the roof during heavy rain

• Repairing damaged or leaky roofs

• Removing debris from valleys and clearing blockages in gutters and downpipes caused by debris, such as leaves, branches, or bird nests
