Landscaping Hawthorn

Hawthorn, Melbourne

Landscape construction in Hawthorn.

Hawthorn is one of Melbourne's most established inner-east suburbs, with Victorian and Edwardian homes, renovated terraces and contemporary builds that each make different demands of the outdoor space. Edge Landscapes works throughout Hawthorn, bringing precision to every project regardless of style or scale.

Most Hawthorn blocks are long and narrow — the challenge is creating outdoor space that feels genuinely considered rather than squeezed. Good paving layouts, well-placed screening fences and the right planting selection make the difference between a backyard that functions and one that adds to how you live every day.

We handle all hard and soft landscaping across Hawthorn, from a new entertaining area to full site construction. Our team is familiar with council requirements in Boroondara and the particular demands of period properties along the Glenferrie Road and Auburn corridors.

Why Hawthorn homeowners choose Edge Landscapes

Hawthorn's mix of heritage streetscapes and high-end renovations means landscaping here requires both craft and an understanding of what fits the context. We've worked on narrow inner-city courtyards off Burwood Road through to larger rear gardens in the quieter streets near Swinburne. Every job is approached the same way — clearly scoped, properly priced, built well.

Many of our Hawthorn clients come to us after a home renovation — the house is done, and the garden is the last piece. We work well with architects and interior designers and can pick up from a set of plans or start the design conversation from scratch.

We're a small, owner-operated team. Matt Sharkey runs every Hawthorn job personally, which means consistent quality and someone who's easy to get hold of throughout the project.
