Planned Around Your Block.
Doncaster East lawns have terrain and traffic to deal with. These are large family blocks across Melbourne’s east, plenty of them on a rise near Tunstall Square and the Mullum Mullum corridor, where the grass takes the wear of kids and pets and still has to sit level on ground that falls away. The heavy clay common across the area holds water and sheds it downhill, so a lawn here lives or dies on how the base is shaped and drained beneath it. We cut the levels to suit the fall, build a base that carries water away from the house, and lay a tough natural variety that copes with full sun and a busy backyard. Where a section sits in deep shade or on a pitch too steep to mow, artificial turf stays flat and green through the year with no upkeep.
