Planned Around Your Block.
South Yarra gardens are their own thing. Period terraces and apartments sit on tight blocks close to Chapel Street and Toorak Road, rear courtyards are small and often shaded, and access usually runs down a narrow side path, through the house, or up from a basement car park. Artificial turf is popular here for low upkeep courtyards and balconies that stay sharp all year, and where a natural lawn suits we build a base that holds moisture and feeds the grass. Either way the surface goes in properly, so a compact lawn behind a South Yarra terrace performs as well as a larger one further out.
