KD Landscapes is a family-owned team bringing over 20 years of hands-on experience to landscaping in Mount Waverley, working on gardens right across the suburb. We handle the whole journey under one roof, from the first sketch through to the final plant going in the ground, so you’re never juggling separate designers, builders and concreters. Whether you’re starting with a bare new-build block or reworking a tired backyard, we design and construct outdoor spaces that suit how you actually want to live.
Mount Waverley throws up its own challenges, and we know them well. The suburb’s mix of established leafy blocks, gentle slopes and older gardens sitting alongside fresh knock-down rebuilds means no two projects look the same. Our crews understand the local soils, the Melbourne climate and what it takes to build on uneven ground, so every retaining wall, lawn and garden bed is planned to hold up and look good for years, not just for the first season.
Backed by a Domestic Builders License in structural landscaping and named landscape winners on The Block 2024, we treat every job, big or small, with the same care and attention to detail. Give Kris a call for a no-obligation, free quote and let’s talk through what your Mount Waverley landscape could become.
Good landscaping is planned, not improvised. We start by understanding how your household lives outdoors, then translate that into a considered design with materials, planting and layout mapped out. You approve the full picture before any work begins, so there are no surprises later.
Holding a builder’s license means we can take on the structural side other landscapers sub out. We manage the build end to end, sequencing each stage and trade ourselves, which keeps quality consistent and your timeline honest from demolition through to handover.
On the tiered and sloping blocks common around the area, retaining walls do the heavy lifting, turning awkward gradients into flat, usable garden. We match the wall type to the ground it’s holding and the look you’re after, building for structural integrity first and appearance a very close second.
Paving sets the tone for how a space feels underfoot and how it reads as a whole. We help you choose a finish that suits the style of your home and the way the area gets used, then lay it precisely so joints, falls and drainage are right the first time.
Concrete is the workhorse of a good outdoor build, and finish is everything. We pour driveways, slabs and paths in a range of textures and tones, getting the prep and curing right so the surface stays crack-resistant and looks the part for the long term.
A pool is only as good as the space around it. We design and build the pool surrounds, from the coping and paving to screening, planting and lighting, so the whole zone feels resolved and safe, ties back to the house, and holds up to splashes, sun and wet feet.
Structures are where our building license really earns its keep. A deck or pergola extends your living space beyond the back door and gives you somewhere to actually use the garden, whatever the weather. We build them to sit naturally against your home and stand up to years of Melbourne seasons.
Greenery is what makes a finished garden feel alive rather than staged. We advise on lawn and plant choices that match your light, soil and appetite for upkeep, whether that’s a hardy natural lawn for the kids or low-fuss options for a busy household, and we plant them to establish well.
The finishing touches that make a garden work harder and feel calmer. A water feature adds a focal point and a bit of atmosphere, while a properly zoned irrigation system quietly keeps everything thriving without you dragging a hose around on weekends.
Whether you’re reworking an established Mount Waverley garden or starting from a bare new-build block, here’s how we take it from first conversation to finished space.
Bring photos of styles and plants you like. Renovating? Flag features worth keeping, like mature trees. New build? We'll suggest planting and layout to suit your budget.
We check the slope, drainage and existing features, then talk through materials, finishes and cost to shape a plan around your home.

FAQS
A few of the questions we get asked most by homeowners across Mount Waverley.
Project length depends on scope. A simple paving or turf job might wrap up in a few days, while a full design-and-construct project with retaining walls, decking and planting can run several weeks to a few months. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quote, based on what your property actually needs.
It depends on the size and nature of the work. In the City of Monash, retaining walls under a metre high are generally permit-exempt unless they’re tied to other building work, while larger or structural builds usually need council sign-off. As a licensed structural landscaper, we manage this process and factor any approvals into your quote and timeline.
Not at all. Plenty of properties in the area have uneven ground, and it just means retaining walls come into the plan early rather than as an afterthought. We work out where support is needed during the quote, then build a solution that turns the tricky sections into space you can actually use.
The earlier the better, ideally while your build is still underway. Getting us involved early means retaining walls, drainage and garden beds can be planned around the house rather than squeezed in afterwards, and we can sequence our work to start as soon as your block is handed over.
Construction work like retaining walls, paving and concreting can happen year-round in Melbourne’s climate. Spring and autumn tend to be best for turf and planting to establish before extreme heat or frost, but we can plan your project around the weather regardless of when you get in touch.
From the first concept to the final finishing touches, our team manages the whole project ourselves, with no subcontracted guesswork. Backed by a Domestic Builders License and 20 years working across Mount Waverley. Give Kris a call for a free, no-obligation quote.
