Local Landscaping & Landscape Design Services
We provide landscaping and landscape design services for homes and commercial properties across Kew VIC 3101, including areas around Kew Junction, Studley Park and towards Kew East. From individual garden improvements to larger outdoor projects, our landscapers plan the work around the property, access, existing landscape and how the space needs to be used.
Kew is one of Melbourne's leafy inner-eastern suburbs, known for established homes, mature gardens and residential streets around Kew Junction, Studley Park and the Yarra River.
Good landscaping can improve the appearance of a property while making the outdoor space easier to use and maintain.
Landscaping services
A well-planned front yard can improve street appeal and create a more welcoming entrance. We work with lawns, garden beds, planting, pathways and existing landscape features to create an outdoor area that suits the home.
Our front yard landscaping can cover anything from a simple garden refresh to a complete front yard transformation.
A backyard can be designed for entertaining, relaxing, gardening or simply enjoying more usable outdoor space. We consider the size of the yard, existing trees, access, sunlight and how you want to use the area. For compact Kew properties, this may mean making better use of limited space. Larger gardens can provide room for separate lawn, planting and entertaining areas.
Established Kew gardens can have plenty of character, but planting and garden beds can become overgrown or dated over time. Our landscape design process considers the existing layout, access, sunlight and how the space is used before recommending new planting, garden beds, lawn or wider landscape improvements. Where practical, mature trees and worthwhile existing plants can remain part of the new garden.
New turf can give a worn or patchy lawn a cleaner, more consistent appearance. Before installation, we consider sunlight, drainage, soil preparation and how the lawn will be used. Turf installation can be completed as part of a larger landscaping project or when replacing an existing lawn.
Paving can be used for garden paths, entrances and outdoor living areas. We select layouts and materials that work with the surrounding garden and style of the property. Planting can also be used around paved areas to soften hard surfaces and create a more natural transition into the garden.
Decking can create a practical connection between the home and backyard while providing space for dining, seating or entertaining. The position can be planned around access, sunlight and the surrounding landscape. A deck can also be combined with lawn and planting to create clearly defined outdoor areas.
Retaining walls can help manage changing ground levels and create more usable areas for lawns, pathways and garden beds. This can be particularly useful on properties with sloping or uneven outdoor areas. Retaining wall landscaping can be incorporated into the wider garden design alongside paving and planting.
Larger projects can involve several elements, including paving, turf, decking, planting and retaining walls. Landscape construction brings these elements together as part of one coordinated outdoor project. Planning the work as a whole can also help different hard and soft landscaping features fit together naturally.
Alongside design and construction, we provide ongoing garden maintenance for Kew properties, including mowing, hedge trimming, garden bed upkeep and seasonal tidy-ups. This keeps a garden presentable between larger projects, or on its own for properties that just need regular upkeep.
Properties across Kew can vary considerably. A compact garden near Kew Junction may need a different approach from an established property closer to Studley Park and the Yarra River.
Homes around High Street, Cotham Road and Barkers Road also vary in architecture, block size and existing gardens. We plan landscaping around the individual property rather than using the same layout everywhere.
We also service nearby areas including Kew East, Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Balwyn, Balwyn North, Deepdene, Canterbury and Camberwell. You can also view our landscaping services in Armadale and Malvern.
For residential properties, landscaping can range from a new lawn or garden refresh to a complete front or backyard transformation, along with ongoing garden maintenance to keep the space looking its best. Existing trees, garden areas and other worthwhile features can be retained where they work with the new landscape.
We work on commercial and managed properties in Kew, including body corporate and strata grounds, retail and office frontages, and outdoor areas that need to stay practical and presentable. This can include planting, turf, paving, garden beds and improvements around entrances and outdoor spaces.
For commercial sites, we can also arrange scheduled maintenance visits so gardens and entrances are kept to a consistent standard rather than needing repeat one-off work.
Our school landscaping service covers turf, paving and grounds improvements for educational sites in Kew and across our service area.

We consider the existing garden, access, levels, sunlight and available space before planning the work. This helps the finished landscape feel connected to the property rather than like a collection of separate additions.
