Gardening in Toorak
Understanding Toorak gardens
Toorak gardens are Melbourne's most ambitious and extensively maintained residential landscapes. Properties regularly feature multiple distinct garden rooms: formal front lawns with symmetrical plantings of clipped hedging and topiary, specimen tree collections including mature magnolias, cedars, and ornamental cherries, parterre-style rose gardens, and expansive rear gardens with swimming pools, tennis courts, and entertaining pavilions set among established plantings. Hedging is paramount in Toorak -- English laurel, photinia, and lilly pilly screens up to five metres tall create the absolute privacy these properties demand. The soils vary: properties closer to the Yarra enjoy rich alluvial deposits, while the higher southern streets have clay with some basalt influence. Professional landscape maintenance is universal rather than optional in Toorak -- the suburb's standards require weekly to fortnightly attention on the largest estates, with monthly maintenance as the absolute minimum for smaller properties.

Kooyong
Kooyong gardens are formal, private, and designed to be experienced from within rather than displayed to the street. Tall hedging -- English laurel, photinia, and lilly pilly screens up to four metres -- is universal, creating enclosed garden rooms that shield properties from Kooyong Road's traffic and from neighbours.

Malvern gardens are among Melbourne's most impressive in both scale and sophistication, with many properties featuring mature European trees such as English elms, pin oaks, and London planes that form near-complete canopy tunnels along the suburb's principal streets. Extensive hedging -- often three to four metres tall in English laurel or photinia -- provides the privacy screen expected on Malvern's grander properties.

Armadale gardens are characterised by their elegance within constrained spaces. Narrow frontages demand high-impact, low-footprint plantings: clipped standard trees, espaliered camellias on boundary walls, and precisely maintained hedges of English box or star jasmine on wire frames are quintessential Armadale details.

Hawthorn gardens range from formal parterre-style frontages on the grand Victorian properties to surprisingly deep rear gardens on properties that extend back from narrow frontages. Wisteria, star jasmine, and creeping fig on bluestone walls are signature Hawthorn details.

Richmond gardens are defined by their intimacy and the creative solutions needed to maximise impact in minimal space. Front gardens on Victorian terraces are often just three to four metres deep, demanding precision planting where a single misplaced shrub can overwhelm the space.
