Why It Matters Here

A new Box Hill home deserves more than builder-grade turf

Box Hill has become one of the eastern suburbs' busiest development zones, with townhouses and family rebuilds going up across the suburb. The catch is what the builder leaves behind: a site of compacted fill, a thin skim of turf laid straight onto clay, no irrigation and a couple of struggling plants. It photographs well at handover and then fails. The turf yellows and dies through the first summer, the beds wash out and the new owner is left starting over.

Our new-home packages fix this at the root. We strip back the builder's surface work, condition Box Hill's heavy Silurian clay with gypsum and a proper turf underlay, install irrigation and build on correctly compacted base layers. Because we come from a building background, we understand exactly what the builder did and didn't do, and we coordinate timing and access, especially important on tight townhouse blocks with shared driveways, so the finished garden is ready not long after you move in. The result is an outdoor space that works from day one and keeps working.

FAQ

Box Hill new-home landscaping questions

How much does new home landscaping cost in Box Hill?

Complete new-home and townhouse landscaping packages in Box Hill start from about $8,000 for a modest front and rear, and commonly run $12,000–$25,000 for a full block with turf, paving, fencing, garden beds and irrigation. The final figure depends on block size and how much the builder left undone. We quote it as one itemised package.

Why does builder-grade landscaping fail in Box Hill?

Builders typically lay thin turf over compacted fill with no soil prep and no irrigation, so it looks fine at handover and dies within months on Box Hill's reactive clay. We strip that back, condition the clay with gypsum and underlay mix, install irrigation and build on proper base layers — which is the difference between a garden that survives and one that doesn't.

Can you coordinate with my builder in Box Hill?

Yes. We coordinate timing and access with your builder so we can start as soon as the site is ready, and we handle the gap between what the builder hands over and a finished outdoor space. On tight townhouse sites with shared driveways, we plan access and staging carefully to avoid damage and delays.

What's included in a new home landscaping package?

A typical package covers site prep and drainage, turf on properly prepared base, garden beds with planting and mulch, irrigation, fencing or screening, and paving or a path to the entry. We tailor the inclusions to your block and budget and price it all up front so you know exactly what you're getting.
