What we see on Armstrong Creek blocks
Armstrong Creek and Charlemont are among the fastest-growing parts of Geelong. Most houses are new and blocks are often compact. At handover the yard is usually bare dirt, a concrete driveway and a clothesline. Many jobs here start from exactly that: a blank yard and a list of what the family wants. Lawn the kids can use. A paved spot to sit. Garden beds that don't take over the weekend. Somewhere sensible for the bins and the dog.
Heavy clay soils are common across the area, and the land is flat and open. Clay holds water and moves as it wets and dries. That makes levels, drainage and the base under paving important. Flat, exposed blocks also catch the wind, so we think about shelter early. Getting drainage right at the start is much cheaper than fixing a lawn that floods after rain.
Many new estates have design guidelines. They can affect front gardens and fencing, and sometimes set a deadline for finishing the landscaping. Check your estate's guidelines and your building contract before you commit to a design. We can work to them, and we'll tell you if something you want is likely to be a problem.
Common jobs in Armstrong Creek

Do you landscape new homes in Armstrong Creek and Charlemont?
Yes. New-build yards in estates such as Warralily and around Armstrong Creek Town Centre are the kind of job we take on. We start with levels, drainage and soil. Then we work through paths, paving, lawn and planting.
How far is Armstrong Creek from you?
Armstrong Creek and Charlemont are about 20 minutes from central Geelong, so site visits and deliveries are straightforward.
Why does clay soil matter for a new-build yard?
Clay holds water and moves as it wets and dries. Without proper drainage and a well-prepared base, lawns can go boggy and paving can crack or settle. So we set levels and falls before laying anything, and we prepare the soil so lawn and beds establish.
