Landscaping in Beaumaris

Brisk Landscaping has provided landscaping in Beaumaris and across Melbourne’s bayside suburbs for fifteen years, covering garden design, construction and the maintenance that follows on afterwards.

The work is carried out by our own team throughout, and quotes are prepared at no charge once we have visited the property.

We are a licensed and insured contractor with more than 2,000 completed projects behind us. Certificates of currency can be provided at any stage of a project should you wish to see them.

The work we take on in this area divides broadly between new construction and the upkeep of gardens that are already well established. Construction work includes:

• Decking, verandahs, pergolas and patios
• Paving, including natural stone
• Retaining walls
• Synthetic and natural turf
• Irrigation systems
• Pool surrounds
• Excavation and site levelling

Because we operate our own excavators, tippers and dingos, site preparation can be scheduled around the requirements of the project rather than the availability of a hire company. On a build carrying a fixed handover date, that distinction frequently determines whether the date is met.

Many properties in this part of Melbourne were planted out several decades ago, and the mature trees standing on a block are often worth considerably more to the property than anything that might be constructed around them. This is something we carefully consider when providing landscaping in Beaumaris, particularly on properties with established gardens.

We therefore assess the existing planting before any pricing is prepared. Certain specimens are retained, others have to come out, and a reasonable proportion can be lifted and replanted in a position better suited to them than the one they presently occupy.

Shade is the recurring difficulty. Where a canopy has grown dense enough that lawn will no longer establish beneath it, selective lopping is generally preferable to removing a mature tree altogether, though in positions where nothing will grow regardless of what is attempted, synthetic turf offers a permanent alternative.

Root systems present a less obvious constraint. Because they govern where footings may be excavated, they also dictate where a deck or pergola can realistically be positioned, and establishing this at the design stage avoids the variations that arise when the problem only becomes apparent midway through a build.
