Complete outdoor construction
Planning a full backyard transformation, a new front garden or landscaping for a commercial property? TXR Landscaping Contractors coordinates the work from site preparation through to paving, retaining walls, decking, turf and planting.
We look at how the property works as a whole so that levels, drainage, access and materials are planned together.
Our landscape construction services
We construct practical outdoor spaces for established homes, new properties, rental homes, developments and commercial sites. The exact scope depends on the existing site, access, levels and how you want to use the space.
Recent landscape construction project
Before: The new-build yard required excavation, drainage planning, level changes and a complete construction sequence before it could be used.
After: The completed space includes retaining, paving, timber steps, lawn and planting to create a functional connection between the home and garden.
Design and planning
Before work begins, we inspect the outdoor space and consider available area, ground levels, soil, drainage, worker and machinery access, existing trees, structures, maintenance requirements, materials and budget.
For straightforward projects this may involve an agreed layout and material selection. Larger or more complex projects may require detailed plans, engineering or specialist documentation before construction.
Site preparation and excavation
Preparation can include removing old turf and vegetation, clearing materials, excavating soil, establishing finished levels, preparing wall and paving foundations, compacting base materials and removing agreed waste.
We select equipment around the project size and available access. Narrow side access may require smaller machinery and a different construction approach.
Drainage and ground levels
Drainage should be considered before retaining walls, paving, lawns and garden beds are installed. Water moving in the wrong direction can contribute to muddy lawns, damaged plants, paving movement and pressure behind walls.
Site work may include surface grading, agricultural drainage, gravel drainage layers, suitable discharge planning, falls across paved areas and soil preparation for better water movement.
Hard landscaping construction
Retaining walls can manage level changes and create usable areas. Paving and pathways need proper excavation, base preparation, compaction and falls. Decking can connect the home to dining and entertaining spaces.
Edging and steps can separate lawns, garden beds and pathways while providing safer access where ground levels change.
Soft landscaping and finishing
Turf installation includes preparing soil, levelling, laying turf and establishment guidance. Plant selection considers sunlight, soil, available space, water needs and mature size.
We can prepare garden beds, improve soil, install plants and apply mulch as part of the construction project.
Front and backyard construction
Our front yard landscaping service can improve access, presentation and the connection from the street. Our backyard landscaping service can include lawns, outdoor areas, drainage and practical access.
Whether the priority is lower maintenance, room for children or outdoor entertaining, we plan the construction around the property.
Melbourne conditions
Soil, drainage and access vary considerably across Melbourne. Some properties have reactive clay, while others have sandy or heavily compacted ground. Established suburbs can have mature roots and narrow access, while newer properties may need significant levelling and soil improvement.
We assess the individual site before recommending excavation depths, drainage, base preparation or planting solutions.
Residential and commercial projects
TXR Landscaping Contractors undertakes work for family homes, townhouses, rental properties, new residential builds, offices, commercial sites, developments and shared outdoor areas.
Residential projects often focus on lifestyle, appearance and maintenance. Commercial landscapes can place greater emphasis on durability, access, presentation and ongoing usability.
