Landscaping Springfield Lakes

We handle landscaping in Springfield Lakes, from brand new handover blocks to homes that have been here 15 or 20 years and need a refresh.

New-build landscaping in a Springfield Lakes backyard

New builds in Springfield Lakes

Springfield Lakes is a master-planned community, and the newer stages still have a steady stream of homes handed over with bare dirt out the back. That dirt is usually compacted builder’s fill with no real topsoil. We strip or rip it, fix the levels so water runs away from the house, bring in a proper soil mix, then lay turf and plant garden beds that will actually establish.

Refreshing older Springfield Lakes gardens

The earlier stages of Springfield Lakes are now well established, and a lot of those first gardens are tired: overgrown hedges, patchy lawn, timber edging rotting out and plants that never suited the spot. A makeover can keep what’s worth keeping and replace the rest with lower-maintenance planting, new edging and fresh turf.

Small backyards, made usable

Many Springfield Lakes blocks have compact backyards. Good design matters more on a small block: a paved area off the alfresco, a strip of turf the kids can use, and narrow garden beds along the fence line make the most of limited space. Retaining walls can help where the block steps up or down at the back.

Body corporate and estate covenants

Some Springfield Lakes estates have covenants on front yard landscaping, fencing and driveways. Check your contract of sale or estate guidelines before you change the front of the house. Backyards are usually up to you.

Landscaping Springfield Lakes: what we do

Concrete sleeper and block walls for sloping and stepped blocks.

Paths, patios and alfresco extensions on a base built for clay.

Low-maintenance lawn for shady spots, dog runs and small yards.

Flat, shaded outdoor space off the back of the house.

Timber and composite decks, low off the back door or raised to level out a sloping block.

Springfield Lakes landscaping FAQs

Can you do the front and back at the same time?

Yes. Plenty of new-build owners do both in one go so the whole block is finished at once. You can also stage it, front first for the covenant deadline and backyard later.

Soft-leaf buffalo is a popular all-rounder for family backyards. Couch and zoysia suit full-sun areas. We recommend a variety at the quote based on sun, shade and how the yard will be used.
