Planned Around Your Block.
A Malvern lawn sits in a particular kind of garden. Grand period homes on quiet, leafy streets bring mature canopies, dappled light and ground that has compacted with age, so the grass has to be chosen and prepared for those conditions rather than dropped on top of them. Under established trees 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 shaded courtyards and narrow side returns that never catch enough sun for natural grass, holding a clean green finish all year with no mowing. A wide front lawn near the Glenferrie Road shops is prepared with the same care as a small rear garden behind a period facade, so it stays sharp instead of thinning out by midsummer.
