Landscaping Armadale VIC
Residential and commercial landscaping for Armadale homes, apartments and businesses.
TXR Landscaping Contractors provides residential and commercial landscaping across Armadale VIC 3143. We work on period homes, renovated family houses, townhouses, apartment buildings and commercial sites, from front garden refreshes and courtyards to turf, paving, decking, retaining walls, complete outdoor transformations and ongoing maintenance. Every project is planned around the property’s space, access, existing trees and how the area will be used.
Armadale is one of Melbourne’s established inner south-eastern suburbs, with leafy streets, Victorian and Edwardian homes, renovated properties and busy commercial areas around High Street and Glenferrie Road. Many properties combine mature trees and character frontages with compact backyards and courtyards, so good landscaping here usually means refreshing what’s already there rather than starting from scratch.

Stonnington Tree and Heritage Requirements
Armadale is in the City of Stonnington, which protects larger trees on private land. These rules affect landscaping as well as tree removal.
- Significant trees: under Stonnington’s General Local Law, a significant tree includes one with a trunk circumference of 140 cm or more measured at 1.4 m above its base, or 180 cm or more at its base.
- Works near roots: a Tree Works Permit is needed for works that affect the roots in a significant tree’s Tree Protection Zone. Excavating for paving, walls or new beds close to a large tree can fall into this.
- Canopy trees: in residential zones, a planning permit may be needed to remove, destroy or lop a canopy tree, even if the land has no overlays.
We check for protected trees during the site inspection and design around their root zones, so approvals are planned before work starts. Parts of Armadale are also covered by heritage overlays, which can affect changes to front fences, paths and street-facing gardens.

We work on Armadale’s period homes, renovated properties and newer builds, from smaller garden improvements to complete front and backyard transformations. Typical projects include:

- Courtyard makeovers: compact, low-maintenance spaces for townhouses and terrace-style homes
- Garden renovations: keeping mature trees and worthwhile planting while refreshing beds and layout

- Ongoing maintenance: to keep the garden looking its best between projects

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We plan how materials and equipment get in, including through the house where needed, and protect floors and doorways during the work.

Yes. We quote, schedule and report through strata managers, property managers or committees.
