Softscapes in Ivanhoe
The living parts of a garden — the beds, the plants, the soil they grow in — are what make a yard feel finished. Outside Mates handles softscaping across Ivanhoe and the surrounding North East suburbs, from planting out new garden beds and refreshing tired ones to spreading mulch and conditioning soil.
Softscapes, looked after right.
In Ivanhoe we start with the ground — weeding and edging the bed, turning and conditioning the soil — then plant it out and finish with a consistent layer of mulch to hold moisture and keep weeds down. Whether you've got plants already chosen or want us to pick what will actually thrive in the spot, the bed is left looking full and cared for.
- Garden beds prepared, planted and mulched
- Shrubs, ground covers and seasonal colour planted
- Weed and edge prep before any planting or mulching
- Soil conditioning and advice on what suits your garden
- Green waste and excess material removed
A local team
We know the soils and planting conditions around Ivanhoe, so we recommend what actually grows well rather than what looks good on the shelf. We're happy to quote from photos and can usually fit softscaping jobs in around your regular maintenance visit.
Ivanhoe's beautiful Edwardian and Californian bungalow homes, established gardens and elevated blocks are some of the best-presented in Melbourne's inner north and surrounds - and we love working on them. Outside Mates services Ivanhoe with regular lawn mowing, precise edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal garden tidy-ups for homeowners, landlords and businesses. We're comfortable with mature hedging, sloping sites and long gutter runs, and we bring the right equipment and insurance to work on them safely and thoroughly. Regulars appreciate a team that turns up, quotes fairly and finishes the job. Ask for a free quote - most jobs don't need a site visit at all.
