Landscaping New Homes in Eltham North

New homes in Eltham North usually come with a landscape plan attached to the planning permit. Nillumbik Shire puts a lot of weight on vegetation and neighbourhood character, so the plan will often specify indigenous or native species, set minimum planting sizes, and ask for front fencing that keeps the street open rather than walling it off. Before the occupancy or final sign-off, what is in the ground needs to match what is on paper.

We build from approved plans regularly. Give us the stamped landscape plan and site plan and we will price it line by line, source the specified plants or approved equivalents, and build it as drawn. If a species is unavailable or a detail will not work on site, we will tell you before we start, so you can check with council before anything changes.

Most blocks in Eltham North slope, sometimes steeply. That affects almost everything: how garden beds are terraced, where stormwater goes, how paths are graded, and how a fence follows the ground.

Landscaping and Fencing Under One Quote

For new builds it helps to have one team handle both landscaping and fencing, so the fence line, garden edges and levels all line up.

Timber Picket Fencing on a Slope

A 1.6 m capped timber picket fence with around 20% transparency is a common requirement for front fences in the area. It gives some privacy while still letting the street see the garden. On a sloping site the fence can be stepped, with each panel level and dropping at the posts, or raked, with the top rail following the ground. Stepping looks crisper on moderate slopes. Raking suits steeper or uneven ground where steps would leave large gaps at the bottom. Pickets are spaced to hit the specified transparency, and we use durable treated or hardwood posts concreted into the ground.

Landscaping Eltham North FAQs

Can you quote from my approved landscape plan?

Yes. Send us the stamped landscape plan and site plan and we will price it line by line. A site visit confirms levels and access before the final quote.

What happens if a plant on the plan is unavailable?

We suggest an equivalent species of a similar size and form. Because the plan is part of your permit, check any substitutions with council before planting.

Should a picket fence be stepped or raked on a slope?

Stepped fences look neater on gentle to moderate slopes. Raked fences follow steeper ground without leaving big gaps underneath. We will recommend one after looking at your fence line.

Can the fencing and landscaping be done at the same time?

Yes. We normally build the fence first so the garden edges and beds can be set out against it.
