Cheltenham homes

Older yards, brought up to date.

A lot of Cheltenham backyards haven't changed in decades: cracked concrete, an old shed, a patchy lawn and a slab that floods when it rains. Alongside them are newer townhouses with small courtyards that came with the bare minimum. Both have the same problem: the outdoor space isn't pulling its weight.

We start by fixing what's underneath, like old concrete, levels and drainage, then design a space you'll use every day. You see a mockup of your own yard first, then get an itemised proposal you can build all at once or in stages.

What we plan for in Cheltenham.

01

Two councils

Cheltenham sits across Kingston and Bayside councils. Parts of Cheltenham on the Bayside side have native vegetation controls, so we check which rules cover your block first.

02

New tree rules

Since September 2025, bigger canopy trees near your front or rear boundary can need a planning permit to remove or lop. We check before we design.

03

Tired old yards

Breaking out old concrete, removing old sheds and fixing the falls comes first. Get the base and drainage right and the new yard lasts.

04

Smaller blocks

On unit and townhouse blocks we plan built in seating, screening and lighting so a small courtyard feels bigger and gets used all year.

What's included

Planned once, built properly.

Every Cheltenham project is quoted stage by stage, so you can build it all at once or in steps and see exactly what's included before we start.

  1. Site measure, levels and drainage check
  2. A free visual mockup of your own yard
  3. An itemised, stage by stage proposal
  4. Excavation and site preparation
  5. Paving, decking, walls and concrete
  6. Turf, planting and garden beds
  7. Lighting, screens and finishing touches
How it works

Four steps.
No surprises.

A simple process that shows you the finished result before we start, and keeps you in the loop until handover.

01

Site visit

We come out, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through how you want to use the space.

02

Visual mockup

We show you your own yard with the new design applied, so you can see it before you commit.

03

Itemised proposal

A clear, stage by stage price with what's included and what's not. Bundle stages together and save.

04

Build & handover

One team builds it start to finish, keeps the site clean, and walks you through the finished result.

Client review

Jai did such a great job for us on our backyard project. It was a complete overhaul project, excavation, deck build, design and garden creation… We are so happy with the final result.

FAQ

Cheltenham
FAQs.

Yes. We build across Kingston and Bayside, including Cheltenham, Highett, Mentone, Moorabbin and Beaumaris.

Yes. We break out and remove old concrete and sheds, fix the levels and drainage, then build the new paving, deck or garden on a proper base.

Both. Cheltenham is split between Kingston and Bayside councils, and parts of it have native vegetation controls, so we check your property first.

Sometimes. Larger canopy trees near your boundaries can need a planning permit, and both councils protect some larger trees. We'll go through it at the site visit.
