Landscaper in Cranbourne

Cranbourne has been the centre of things in this corner of Casey for a long time. It was the seat of the old Shire of Cranbourne, the oak Avenue of Honour lines the South Gippsland Highway, and the town has spread into Cranbourne North, East, South and West. That gives you a real mix of yards. Some are older homes with big trees and tired gardens. Others are brand-new estate blocks still waiting for a backyard.

Take a tip from the Australian Garden

Cranbourne is home to the Royal Botanic Gardens' Australian Garden, and it's a great place to get ideas for a low-water garden that still looks lush. Parts of Cranbourne sit on lighter, sandier ground than the heavy clay you find further north and east. Sandy soil drains quickly, which is great for natives and grasses, but it dries out fast and needs plenty of organic matter and mulch. Other parts of Cranbourne are heavier. We'll check what you've actually got before we suggest any plants.

Jobs that suit Cranbourne homes

  • Garden makeovers for established homes: clearing old beds and taking away the green waste, new planting and mulch, natives that suit the soil, and irrigation for sandy ground that dries out fast.
  • New-estate backyards in Cranbourne East, North and West: levels, paving, turf and garden beds.
  • Retaining walls for boundary level changes or raised garden beds.
  • Decks and paved alfresco areas to make the most of the backyard.
  • Turf. Natural lawn on a well-prepared base, or synthetic for low-maintenance areas.
