FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you manage clay soil in Boroondara?
- Boroondara's clay-based soils hold nutrients well but can become waterlogged. We focus on drainage - including agricultural drains behind retaining walls - soil improvement, and plants suited to heavier soils.
- Can you work around protected trees?
- Yes. Boroondara has Significant Landscape Overlays and tree protection rules. Our team identifies regulated canopy trees and protects root zones during construction and maintenance, in line with the City of Boroondara's guidelines.
- Do you offer regular maintenance schedules?
- Yes. Most of our clients are on a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule. This keeps hedges sharp and lawns healthy, and makes sure seasonal tasks like fertilising are never missed.
- How soon can you start?
- For garden tidy-ups and small softscaping jobs (planting, mulching) we can usually start within 1–2 weeks. For regular maintenance we can often fit in the first visit within 7 days. Larger landscape construction projects generally need 4–6 weeks of lead time for design and materials.
- Are you fully insured?
- Yes. GardenScaping is fully insured for both public liability and WorkCover. We treat every property with the utmost care and follow safe work practices on every job.
