Landscaping Mount Martha

Landscape Design Built for Mount Martha's Elevated Blocks

Mount Martha takes its name from the granite rise that pushes out into the bay as Martha Point, and that same elevated, established character runs through a lot of the suburb around it. Properties here are often larger and well treed, many built decades ago as grand summer residences before the area filled in with permanent homes. That combination, real elevation change plus mature gardens already in place, means a full landscape design tends to work better than adding one feature at a time.

We plan around the block's actual slope and existing trees rather than clearing space to fit a standard layout. If your Mount Martha property has a rise to deal with or established greenery to design around, get in touch and we'll talk through what a full design could look like.

01 - Landscape Design & Construction

Landscape Design & Construction

For a larger, established Mount Martha block, we plan the retaining, decking, garden zones and structures together as one project rather than pricing them up separately.

02 - Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls

The granite rise the suburb is named for means genuine elevation change on plenty of blocks, and retaining walls are often what makes the rest of the design possible.

A deck built to work with an elevated block's fall and outlook, rather than sitting awkwardly on top of ground that was never levelled for it.

Fire Pits

A fire pit gives a larger Mount Martha garden a proper gathering point, built into the wider design rather than dropped in as an afterthought.

06 - Pool Landscaping

Pool Landscaping

Bigger, established blocks in Mount Martha often have the room for a pool, and the surrounds need to handle the same elevation and drainage as the rest of the property.

How We Handle Mount Martha's Elevated, Established Blocks

We've worked on enough properties across Mount Martha to know that the retaining and drainage need to be right before a deck, pergola or garden bed goes in on a block with real elevation change. Because design and construction run through one team, a project bringing together a retaining wall, a deck and a pergola gets planned as a single job rather than handed between separate trades. We're also familiar with what Mornington Peninsula Shire expects around retaining wall height and setbacks on sloped, elevated land, so we can flag early if your project is likely to need a permit.

Ready to Start Your Mount Martha Project

A larger, elevated Mount Martha block can carry more than a single deck or retaining wall built on its own. Planned properly from the start, it can become one connected outdoor space that works with the slope and the established trees already there.
