Softscapes in Kew

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 Kew and the surrounding Inner East suburbs, from planting out new garden beds and refreshing tired ones to spreading mulch and conditioning soil.

What you get in Kew

Softscapes, looked after right.

In Kew 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

A local team

We know the soils and planting conditions around Kew, so we recommend what actually grows well rather than what looks good on the shelf. We're happy to quote from photos and can usually fit softscaping jobs in around your regular maintenance visit.

Kew is home to some of Melbourne's finest heritage properties, established gardens and elevated family blocks - and it needs a maintenance team that matches. Outside Mates services Kew with regular lawn mowing, precise lawn edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal garden tidy-ups for homeowners, landlords and business owners. We're used to formal gardens, mature box and cypress hedging, pool surrounds and multi-storey gutter runs, and we bring the right equipment and insurance in place. Expect punctual visits, responsive communication and a genuinely tidy finish. Ask for a free, fixed quote - most Kew jobs can be priced from a quick video or some photos.
