Planned Around Your Block.
Templestowe lawns get used. These are large, established blocks in Melbourne’s north east, near the Yarra and the Mullum Mullum corridor, so the grass takes the wear of children, pets and weekends outside, and it has to bounce back rather than wear into bare patches. The heavy clay common across the area holds water and compacts under foot, and the gentle slopes on many blocks shed runoff in a hurry, so a lawn here lives or dies on the base beneath it. We rebuild that base to drain properly and feed the grass, choose a hard wearing natural variety that copes with a busy backyard and full Melbourne sun, and lay it level across the generous areas these blocks allow. Where a section sits in deep shade under established trees or on a slope that no grass wants to hold, or takes such constant traffic that nothing survives, artificial turf stays flat and green all year with no mowing. The surface goes in to handle real family use, not just to look good on day one.
