Services
Landscaping Design
Our landscaping design service creates tailored outdoor spaces combining aesthetics with functionality. We specialise in contemporary styles that complement Melbourne's modern and historical homes. Through collaborative consultations, we develop custom plans that incorporate sustainable practices and client preferences while maintaining budget efficiency.
Retaining Walls
We construct durable retaining walls using materials like concrete sleepers, treated pine, and rendered blocks. Our solutions prevent soil erosion while adding visual interest to sloped properties. Each installation considers structural integrity and design aesthetics, with options for decorative features and custom dimensions to suit unique site requirements.
Decking Installation
Our decking installations enhance property value through expertly crafted timber decks using merbau, treated pine, and ironbark. We design multi-level systems that integrate indoor-outdoor living spaces while addressing terrain challenges. All installations meet Australian Standards with options for custom finishes and complementary design elements.
Garden Maintenance
We offer comprehensive maintenance programs including pruning, weeding, fertilising, and pest control. Our services maintain landscape health through seasonal adjustments and tailored schedules. We provide expert advice on plant selection and irrigation efficiency to ensure long-term garden vitality across residential and commercial properties.
Water Features
Our water feature installations create tranquil outdoor environments through custom designs and professional installation. We offer complete solutions from pre-made units to bespoke pond systems with integrated lighting. Our expertise includes selecting appropriate water circulation systems and aquatic plants to maintain ecological balance and visual appeal.

Chris and his offsider Fab did a great job re landscaping our back yard. The artificial grass and brush fence look terrific and the garden beds made a huge improvement. Price was very reasonable and Chris offered assistance with some design suggestions and alterations. Overall we were very happy and would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a very professional landscaper.

They were excellent at helping us find a solution for our front garden landscaping, from planning, to retaining and the finished product. Nothing was too difficult and the manager was happy to answer any of my questions (no matter how basic) throughout the planning and working process, putting me at ease every step of the way. Cant recommend the quality of their work enough!

I highly recommend Chris & the team from Contemporary Landscapes. They did a fantastic job creating a functional & beautiful back yard for my family. I have received many compliments from friends and family who visit on the quality of workmanship and design. I will be using them again soon to rejuvenate my tired looking front yard.
