Landscaping in Melbourne
Professional landscaping across Melbourne & surrounds
Landscaping on a Melbourne block is as much about levels and drainage as it is about how the garden looks. We set edging true, build garden beds that hold soil, and prepare ground so paving and planting have a chance of lasting.
Timber and sleeper retaining walls, garden beds, and edging are common jobs we complete in one or two visits. Paving preparation — boxing out, compacting, and setting levels — is quoted as its own scope so you know what is included before any pavers go down.
Send photos of the slope, existing walls, and the area you want tidied. We will tell you what we can do as landscaping and carpentry work, and when a civil or engineering specialist is the right call.
Our approach
How we work this job
Walk the levels and scope
We check falls, existing walls, and access so the quote covers excavation, materials, and finish.
Set edges, beds, and walls
Edging and beds are set true. Retaining and timber walls are built to the agreed height and line.
Prep, place, and tidy
Soil is placed, paving prep is compacted to level, and the site is left ready for planting or pavers.

FAQs
Common questions
Do you plant gardens as well as build the beds?
We build the structure — edging, beds, soil prep, and walls. Planting can be discussed as a simple add-on, or you can plant after we finish.
Can you build a retaining wall?
Yes for typical garden-height timber and sleeper walls. High or engineered walls that need a permit or an engineer are outside our scope — we'll say so upfront.
Do you lay the pavers as well as prepare the base?
Paving preparation is a core service. Laying pavers can be included on smaller areas — confirm when you request a quote.
