Levelled for the Way You Use It.
Nunawading lawns get used, and mostly they get used for entertaining. These are family blocks in the heart of Whitehorse, big enough that the grass is the entertaining floor rather than a strip of green beside it, so it has to stay level under a table, survive kids and pets all weekend and come back by Monday. Three things decide whether it does. The ground is gently undulating rather than steep, around 130 metres up, so water leaves slowly. The subsoil is dense clay that compacts under repeat traffic and holds what it takes. And the fall has to end somewhere real: Koonung Creek rises near Springvale Road on the Blackburn North side and runs west along the northern edge of the old Nunawading parish, and everything up here is eventually headed that way. The only question on your yard is whether it gets there or stops in the lawn first. So we rebuild the base to drain, set the levels so water leaves, then lay a tough natural variety that copes with full Melbourne sun and a busy backyard. Where a corner sits in permanent shade under established canopy, or takes so much traffic nothing survives, artificial turf holds flat and green through the year. We lay lawn the same way across Blackburn, Mitcham and Vermont, and where the yard needs building before it needs grass we handle landscaping in Nunawading too.
