Proud to care for your property

At Waratah we value relationships, collaboration, and quality. We treat every property we work on as if it were our own and we’re proud to care for the communities in which we operate.

WGS has grown from a Sydney lawn mowing run in 1997 to maintaining hundreds of sites across Greater Sydney today. Our local roots run deep, and shape how we work, source and grow.

We continue prioritising local, whether sourcing plants and materials, investing in equipment, or growing our team to support new contracts. This commitment strengthens our service delivery and our connection to the communities we work in.

Beyond the work we do on the ground, we are committed to creating positive impact more broadly — for our people, our partners and our communities. That’s why we’ve formalised our approach through our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments and our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), alongside our Capability Statement. These documents demonstrate the good work WGS is doing while caring for your properties, and the responsibility we take in shaping a sustainable, inclusive future.
