Full Transformations, Built Right.

Landscaping in Mulgrave.

Mulgrave was market garden and orchard country right up until it was subdivided, so the topsoil across the older streets is worked agricultural ground rather than undisturbed profile. Under it sits Silurian mudstone weathering to clay. At roughly 75 metres the fall is gentle, well short of the ridge next door, so drainage has to be built rather than relied on.

Landscaping in Mulgrave

Landscaping Built for Larger Mulgrave Blocks.

Planned Around Your Block.

Mulgrave blocks tend to be generous, which leaves real scope for a backyard that works: a paved entertaining area, a level lawn, retaining where the ground falls away. The catch is the clay. It heaves and settles with moisture, so paving lifts and walls crack when the base is rushed. We start with drainage and a compacted base, get the levels right, then build up retaining walls, paving and concreting that stay put. Planting and softscapes are chosen to suit the soil and the shade, so the garden holds together with low upkeep. We also build across Wheelers Hill and Clayton, and lay the lawn to suit through turf installation in Mulgrave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Can you build a retaining wall on the clay slopes in Mulgrave?

Yes. Clay needs proper drainage behind a retaining wall or pressure builds and it fails. We install ag drains and a sound footing first, then build the wall to hold the ground for the long run.

Why does paving crack and lift on Mulgrave blocks?

Usually the base. Clay swells and shrinks with moisture, so paving laid on a thin or poorly drained base moves with it. We build a compacted draining base underneath so the surface stays level.

Do you take on full backyard transformations in Mulgrave?

Yes. On the larger blocks around Mulgrave we scope and build the whole space, retaining, paving, concreting, lawn and planting, as one accountable team from concept to completion.

How do you handle drainage on a Mulgrave property?

Drainage comes first on clay. We assess where water sits and falls, then build in ag drains and grading so the yard sheds water instead of pooling, which protects everything built on top of it.
