Landscaping in Mentone.
Paving, decks, driveways and gardens for Mentone homes, designed to make every metre of the block work, with a visual mockup of your own yard first.
- Smart use of space
- Free visual mockup
- One team, start to finish
Every metre working for you.
Mentone has a bit of everything: period homes and post war houses on generous blocks, newer townhouses on tighter ones, all a short walk from the beach. Whatever the block, the best outdoor spaces here are the ones that make every metre count, with a courtyard or deck you actually use, a front garden that lifts the street view, and a driveway that looks as good as the house.
We plan the front and back together so it all feels like one design. 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 Mentone.
Tree rules
Since September 2025, bigger canopy trees near your front or rear boundary can need a planning permit to remove or lop. Kingston's Local Law also covers larger and multi stemmed trees, so we check before we design.
Smaller blocks
On townhouse and unit blocks we plan built in seating, storage, screening and lighting so a small courtyard feels bigger and works year round.
Sandy soil and drainage
Sandy ground drains fast but moves under load. We build compacted bases under paving and driveways and plan where the water goes before anything is laid.
Salt air and walls
Near the beach we use stainless or hot dip galvanised fixings that hold up to salt. Retaining walls of 1 m or more generally need a building permit, and we tell you upfront.
Planned once, built properly.
Every Mentone 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.
