What Cheltenham yards are usually like to work with
Cheltenham homes often have a mix of older blocks, renovated family homes, units and newer outdoor areas where every square metre matters. Some yards are open and sunny. Others sit between fences, paving and garden beds where shade, drainage and access need more thought. In bayside parts of Melbourne, sandy soil and salt air can also be part of the picture, which matters when the ground is being prepared for a synthetic lawn. Smaller backyards and side paths also need clean edges so the finish looks right and stays put. That is why the install is not just about rolling out fake grass and hoping for the best. The ground underneath does the hard work. Jason looks at access, fall, existing surfaces and how you actually use the space so the artificial grass suits the yard instead of fighting against it.
