Before & After Case Studies of Melbourne Garden Makeovers Melbourne homeowners are embracing Residential Landscaping to transform small, tired yards into functional outdoor rooms. The best makeovers don’t just look fresh; they solve drainage, access, privacy, and maintenance challenges while creating year-round spaces for entertaining, play, and quiet retreat.
Inner-North courtyard to family entertainer Before: A narrow, overshadowed courtyard with cracked concrete, patchy grass, and no shade made the space unusable for most of the year. After: We installed permeable paving, a rectified stepper path, built-in bench seating with storage, and a compact pergola with climbing jasmine. Low- glare lighting, automated drip irrigation, and a restrained plant palette (lomandra, westringia, dwarf citrus) delivered a calm, kid-friendly courtyard.
Bayside front garden to coastal-modern welcome Before: A windswept lawn, old brick edging, and exposed frontage gave poor first impressions and required weekly mowing. After: We replaced lawn with mass planting (dianella, coastal rosemary), added recycled timber sleepers as low retaining walls, and used pale porcelain steppers that stay cool underfoot. A sculptural feature tree anchors the entry; low, warm lighting improves visibility and security without light spill to neighbours.
Bayside front garden to coastal-modern welcome Before: A muddy, unusable strip between the fence and house—bins, hot water unit, and air-con. After: A boardwalk-style path, screening slats around services, and layered shade-tolerant planting transformed the corridor into a breezy link between front and back. For households comparing firms, the Best Landscapers Melbourne will combine clever screening with durable finishes and ensure irrigation and lighting conduits are future-proofed.
What these makeovers have in common Every project began with a site audit (sun, wind, drainage), followed by a simple materials palette and 6–8 plant species for coherence. Edging and levels were resolved before any planting. Smart irrigation and warm, low-glare lighting keep spaces comfortable while minimising water and energy use.
