Softscapes in Parkville
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 Parkville and the surrounding Inner North suburbs, from planting out new garden beds and refreshing tired ones to spreading mulch and conditioning soil.
Softscapes, looked after right.
In Parkville 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
