Landscaping Caulfield VIC
Residential and commercial landscaping for Caulfield homes, apartments and businesses.
TXR Landscaping Contractors provides residential and commercial landscaping across Caulfield, including Caulfield North, Caulfield South and Caulfield East. We work on period homes, family houses, townhouses, apartment buildings and commercial sites, from front garden refreshes and new lawns to paving, retaining walls, complete backyard transformations and ongoing maintenance. Every project is planned around the property’s layout, drainage, existing trees and how the space will be used.
Caulfield is an established suburb in the City of Glen Eira, known for its tree-lined streets, Edwardian and interwar homes, Californian bungalows and Art Deco flats, alongside newer townhouses and apartments near the station and main roads. Many properties have mature trees and established gardens, so good landscaping here usually means working with what’s already there rather than starting from scratch.

Landscaping Around Mature Trees
Mature trees are a big part of Caulfield’s character. They provide shade and privacy but also affect where paving, walls and lawns can go, how much sun reaches the garden and how roots must be protected during construction.
Glen Eira City Council protects larger trees on private land, and the rules matter for landscaping, not just tree removal.
- Canopy trees: Under Glen Eira’s Canopy Tree Protection Local Law, a permit may be needed to prune, remove or carry out works within the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) of a canopy tree on private land. Canopy trees include trees that meet the council’s size criteria, such as one with a stump circumference of 140 cm or more at ground level.
- Classified trees: Trees on Glen Eira’s Classified Tree Register also need a permit for pruning, removal or works in their TPZ.
- Minor pruning: Light pruning once a year doesn’t need a permit if no more than 10% of the canopy is removed and branches removed are no larger than 10 cm in circumference at the point of attachment.
What this means for your project: Paving, retaining walls, excavation or new garden beds close to a large tree may count as works within its TPZ. We identify protected trees during the quote and design around their root zones, so approvals can be considered before work starts. Check current requirements with Glen Eira City Council.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to landscape near a large tree in Caulfield?+
