If you are looking for reliable landscaping in Mackworth, we design and build gardens that feel well planned, easy to use and built to last. From patios and paving through to planting, fencing and turfing, our work is focused on quality groundwork, clean finishes and practical layouts that suit the way you live.
Many Mackworth gardens benefit from clearer routes, defined borders and better structure, especially where lawns meet beds, seating areas or shaded corners. We help you make the most of the space you already have, creating a garden that looks great day to day and works just as well in the wetter Derby weather.
Landscaping Services We Offer in Mackworth
Patios and paving
We design and install patios that create solid seating areas for relaxing and entertaining. Our paving work is built on proper foundations and finished neatly for long term performance.
Garden pathways and access routes
We create defined routes that guide movement through the garden and connect key areas. Pathways help keep the garden practical in all seasons and reduce worn, muddy patches.
Gravel surfaces and low maintenance areas
Gravel can transform the look and usability of a garden while keeping maintenance down. We install stable gravel surfaces with the right base layers and edging so the finish stays tidy.
Decking and timber features
Decking creates warm, usable outdoor space and works well for level changes or seating zones. We build timber features with careful detailing so everything looks sharp and feels solid underfoot.
Turfing and lawn improvements
We prepare and level the ground properly before laying turf, creating a healthier lawn that establishes well. We can also reshape lawn edges for a cleaner overall look.
Fencing and boundary upgrades
A tidy boundary makes the whole garden feel more finished. We install strong fencing that improves privacy, security and the overall appearance of the space.
Planting, borders and garden structure
We shape planting areas and borders that bring colour and texture without becoming high effort. The aim is a balanced, structured garden that stays manageable over time.

Recent Projects in Mackworth
For this Mackworth garden, we focused on creating a clear route through the space while keeping the planting soft and natural. A gently curving gravel path was formed to lead the eye and guide movement, with tidy edging to keep the line crisp and the surface contained.
To complement the route, we built up flowing borders using ornamental grasses and layered greenery, helping the garden feel established and calm. The result is a simple, low maintenance layout that still has plenty of texture and seasonal interest.

Landscaping in Melbourne – Frequently Asked Questions
Do gravel paths work well in Mackworth gardens?
Yes. When installed with the right base layers and edging, gravel paths are a tidy, low maintenance option that drains well and stays usable year round.
Can you reshape borders and improve the flow of an existing garden?
Absolutely. Many Mackworth projects are about improving layout, adding clearer routes and creating better structure without needing a complete redesign.
Will the gravel spread into the lawn or planting?
Not if it is detailed properly. We use strong edging and correct levels to keep the gravel contained and the finish looking neat.
Can you recommend planting that will not be high maintenance?
Yes. We can create structured planting schemes using shrubs, grasses and perennials that give texture and colour while keeping upkeep realistic.
Do you handle removal of old materials and waste?
Yes. We clear waste and leave the site clean and tidy, so you can start using the garden straight away.
Can you combine paths with patios or seating areas?
Yes. Paths often work best when they link seating zones, lawns and side access, creating a layout that feels connected and easy to use.
