Landscaping in Guys Hill

Guys Hill is easy to drive through without noticing. It's a rural pocket of a few hundred people on the climb between Beaconsfield and Upper Beaconsfield, with the Berwick-Montuna Golf Club on Emerald-Beaconsfield Road. It's also only minutes from our base in Officer. Properties here are mostly lifestyle blocks on rising ground, with a house garden surrounded by paddock or bush.

Somewhere between suburb and Hills

Guys Hill properties have a bit of both worlds, and so do the jobs:

  • Gentle-to-steep slopes that suit low retaining walls and terraced lawns or garden beds.
  • Drainage to stop run-off from higher ground soaking the house surrounds or scouring the driveway.
  • Paved and decked outdoor areas that take advantage of the outlook.
  • Turf. A proper lawn near the house on a well-prepared base, with synthetic as an option for small, high-use spots.
  • Garden beds and planting that frame the house without creating a weeding nightmare.

Plan the whole block, build in stages

On a lifestyle block, it's worth planning the whole area around the house before you build anything. Then you can do it in stages as your budget allows, without undoing earlier work. There's no minimum job size, and we're happy to map it out with you on site.

Make the most of the outlook

Rising ground means a lot of Guys Hill homes look out over paddocks or towards the hills. A deck or paved area placed to catch that view, and the afternoon sun, often becomes the most-used part of the yard.

Check before you dig
