Northern Melbourne’s Local Landscapers
Whether it’s an overgrown garden, an underused exterior space, or an alfresco spot that simply looks uninspiring, your outdoor areas can dramatically affect your home’s visual appeal, enjoyment, functionality, and even market value.
At Contemporary Landscapes and Maintenance, we turn tired, underwhelming, or neglected spaces into beautifully crafted surrounds. Removing the worry and uncertainty from your landscaping projects, our experienced and friendly team creates inspired spaces in which to entertain, impress, and relax.
Perfectly Crafted Creative Landscaping Can Bring the Benefits of:
Elevating Property Values
Meticulously crafted outdoor areas and hard landscaping features such as decks and retaining walls can elevate kerb appeal, market desirability, and sales price.
Lowering maintenance needs
Modern materials, exemplary drainage, and thoughtful planting can reduce future upkeep requirements and expenses.
Addressing inherent challenges
From slopes to shaded corners, tight spaces to problematic soil, landscaping can solve site issues.
Heightening functionality
Whether decks for entertaining or lawns for your children to play on, thoughtful landscaping transforms spaces into practical areas.
Bringing safety and practicality
Walls, lighting, and raised borders can bring security, reduced injury risk, and increased maintenance ease.
Delivering shade, privacy and peace
Allowing you to feel relaxed, comfortable, and at home.
Long-term durability
With the right materials, knowledge, and techniques, your outdoor spaces stay robust and remain beautiful-looking for the long term.
The Power of Bespoke Residential Landscaping
Great landscaping undoubtedly gives your outdoor spaces fresh, vibrant, and beautiful energy and appeal but, when done thoughtfully and with heart by people who really care, it can provide much more than that.
With Contemporary Landscapes, your exterior areas can become an investment, transforming into long-lasting outdoor sanctuaries that boost your property and lifestyle.
Our Landscaping Services Are Crafted Perfectly To Your Needs
As a respected and professional landscaper in Melbourne, we offer a wide spectrum of services for residential homes. Tailored to your requirements, dreams, and vision, our work can include:
Hard Landscaping
These are the foundational, permanent elements of your spaces that create the framework for the area being transformed. Strong, durable, and attractive, our hard landscaping often boasts:
Paving
From driveways to patios, and footpaths to courtyards, our paving services bring reassuring durability combined with incredible visual appeal. You can choose from options such as the traditional charm of brick, the clean finish of concrete, or the natural beauty of stone.
Retaining Walls
Stylish and often essential for the garden structure, retaining walls can solve sloped land problems, reduce the likelihood of soil erosion, and add attractive terraces. Whether you opt for concrete sleepers, textured blocks, or rendered concrete, we forge walls that provide functionality, beauty, and flow.
Decking
A well-planned and constructed deck can create an additional enjoyable area for your property, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying fresh air. Crafted from premium materials such as Merbau, Ekodeck, ironbark, and stringybark, we tailor our eye-catching decking to the needs of your home and your budget.
Soft Landscaping
Once the structural elements have been completed, we offer comprehensive soft landscaping work, bringing your vision to life. While not an exhaustive list, this may feature:
Lawn creation
Opt for turf for an immediate new look, or seeded for an original, lush grassy area.
Synthetic grass
Low on maintenance and always looking amazing, we use high-end, Australian materials such as the exemplary Synturf.
Plants
We guide you on the perfect flora for your outdoor space, and offer plants at prices much more competitive than in the stores.
Water features
Whether a pond, fountain, or waterfall, water features add both eye-catching interest and tranquillity to your outdoor areas.
Irrigation systems
We install efficient irrigation to ensure your garden stays hydrated in any weather conditions.
Feature gardens
Need something different? Our creative solutions, such as vertical gardens, can add interest and beauty to the most problematic or small areas.
Excavation/bobcat work
We can tackle all site prep, including levelling and grading, in-house.
Outdoor lighting
Low-voltage illumination that brings your garden to life at night, increases security, and elevates safety.
Garden maintenance
Ongoing garden care to keep your landscaped space looking fresh, tidy, and thriving.
