Landscaping in Templestowe.

Templestowe rewards a plan that uses the space. The large blocks out in Melbourne’s north east, many of them long established near the Yarra and the Mullum Mullum corridor, leave room for the lot: a lawn for the kids, a paved area for the table, room to entertain and the structure to tie it all together, often with mature trees worth designing around. The heavy clay and the gentle grade on many sites mean drainage, retaining and base work cannot be an afterthought. We design for how you actually live in the space: clean zones that flow from the house to the garden, retaining and levels that turn a sloping block into usable ground, planting suited to family life among established gardens, and drainage built to handle a Melbourne downpour. From a full rear garden to a front that lifts the whole street, one accountable team runs the project from concept to completion.
