Garden Transformations
We specialise in complete garden makeovers for residential and commercial properties. Our process includes concept development, structural design, and material selection to create functional, aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces. With expertise in both formal and native plantings, we deliver tailored solutions that enhance property value while maintaining budget constraints.
Garden Edging
Our edging solutions include steel, bluestone, timber, and rock installations for curved, raised, or straight garden beds. We create defined boundaries that prevent soil erosion and maintain lawn neatness. Options cater to both modern and traditional garden styles, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity.
Turfing
We install premium turf using precision cutting and soil preparation techniques. Our process involves removing old grass, cultivating soil, and applying specific lawn mixes and fertilisers for optimal growth. We specialise in achieving perfect grass heights and offer synthetic turf options for low-maintenance solutions.
Plant Design
Our plant design service focuses on creating cohesive, sustainable landscapes. We incorporate client preferences with existing garden elements to develop planting schemes that suit local climates. Services include palette selection, native plant integration, and country-inspired garden themes for both residential and commercial properties.
Garden Maintenance
We provide ongoing maintenance programs including mowing, edging, trimming, and fertilisation. Our services ensure long-term garden health through seasonal adjustments and weed control. We offer tailored maintenance schedules for both newly installed and established gardens across Melbourne suburbs.

Matt and the team were fantastic. They transformed our front garden from boring to fabulous and our backyard into a tranquil space we want to spend time in. Matt was upfront with costs and listened to our ideas. He included us every step of the way, which allowed us to fully trust the process. I highly recommend Stix n Stones for your landscaping needs.

Matt and his team did an awesome job renovating our front garden and finishing our part-done rear. He had great ideas and really listened to what we wanted to achieve. So pleased with the result and would be happy to recommend. Nothing was too much trouble and, unlike other experiences, he kept in touch, from agreeing to proceed and throughout the job, to ensure it was on the mark for us. Thanks Matt, Tim, Jason, and the rest of the team!
