At Jordan’s Gardening Service, we pride ourselves on transforming overlooked spaces into beautiful, functional areas for our Melbourne clients. This recent project showcases how we turned a narrow side yard into a practical and visually appealing outdoor space – a common challenge for many Melbourne homeowners.

The Melbourne Side Yard Challenge

Many Melbourne homes feature these narrow passages between the house and fence boundary – spaces that often go unused or become neglected. Our client’s brick home presented the classic Melbourne side yard dilemma: how to make this area both attractive and functional despite its limited dimensions.

Our Melbourne-Friendly Design Solutions

1. Weather-Resistant Artificial Turf: We installed high-quality synthetic grass perfect for Melbourne’s variable climate. This provides year-round greenery without the maintenance headaches that come with natural lawn in our tight urban spaces.
2. Custom Raised Garden Beds: The wooden planters along the fence provide our clients with perfect growing spaces for Australian natives or vegetables, making productive use of previously wasted space while being mindful of Melbourne’s water restrictions.
3. Stone Stepping Path: We created a practical pathway using locally-sourced pavers, providing clear access while adding visual interest – especially important in Melbourne’s wetter months.
4. Climate-Conscious Design: Our team thoughtfully worked around the air conditioning unit, ensuring it maintains proper airflow for those hot Melbourne summer days while integrating it aesthetically into the overall design..
