Landscaping in Macclesfield
Macclesfield is a small, rural Yarra Ranges community, out past Monbulk and Emerald. It has its own fire brigade, school and hall, and briefly had a gold rush in Macclesfield Creek back in 1865. Today it's mostly rolling farmland and lifestyle properties. That means landscaping jobs here are often bigger in area and more practical in nature than in town.
Practical landscaping for rural blocks
- Level pads for sheds, carports and outdoor areas. Excavation, cut and fill, and a retaining wall to hold the cut. Our Instagram shows a recent set of retaining walls that created a large level area for a client's machinery shed on acreage (in Bunyip). More on retaining walls.
- Driveway and track edges. Retaining and drainage where a driveway cuts into a slope.
- A defined house garden. Edged beds, mulch, turf and paving around the house, kept separate from the paddocks.
- Drainage and run-off control so stormwater doesn't scour the driveway or flood the shed.
- Rock walls, which suit the rural setting.
Good to know: fire risk
Rural Yarra Ranges properties often have bushfire planning controls, and the local CFA brigade is a big part of the community for good reason. If you're adding decks, structures or planting near the house, check your property's overlays on VicPlan and the CFA's "Landscaping for Bushfire" guide.
