Planned Around Your Block.
A Caulfield lawn sits in a particular kind of garden. Period homes on quiet, tree lined streets bring mature canopies and ground that has settled over decades, while the newer apartments often come with tight courtyards and shaded side returns, so the grass has to be chosen and prepared for the spot rather than dropped on top of it. Under an established canopy we pick a variety that copes with low light, and where the soil has gone hard we rebuild the base so it drains and feeds the roots. Artificial turf suits the small, shaded courtyards that never catch enough sun for natural grass, holding a clean green finish all year with no mowing. A wide period front lawn near the racecourse is prepared with the same care as a narrow rear garden behind an apartment, so it stays sharp instead of thinning out by midsummer.
