Bring the "Big Stage" to Your Backyard: Elite Turf & Reticulation
Most landscapers treat a lawn as an afterthought—a bit of topsoil and some rolled-out turf. At Focus Landscaping and Design, we treat your lawn as a high-performance surface.
Founder Matt doesn’t just "lay grass." He spent years maintaining the world-class surfaces at Optus Stadium, The WACA, and Ascot Racecourse. He knows what it takes to keep turf lush, level, and resilient under the toughest conditions. Whether you're building in the sandy soils of Torquay or the heavy clay of Mt Duneed, we bring "stadium-grade" precision to your private residence.
Why Your New Home Needs "Stadium-Prep"
Site Soil Amelioration
We don't just put soil on top of clay. We "rip" and condition the sub-base to ensure roots can actually penetrate the ground.
Precision Levelling
Using the same techniques used on professional cricket wickets and AFL fields to ensure your lawn is perfectly flat and free of "tripping hazards.
Drainage Solutions
We design sub-surface drainage that prevents water-logging—the silent killer of Geelong lawns during winter.
Smart Reticulation: Set and Forget
Automated Efficiency:
We install smart controllers (like Hunter or Rain Bird) that you can manage from your phone.
Smart Reticulation: Set and Forget
A premium lawn is only as good as its life-support system. Drawing on Matt’s experience in the harsh, dry climates of Perth and Fremantle, we design irrigation systems that thrive in the Victorian heat.
Matched Precipitation:
Ensuring every corner of your garden gets exactly the right amount of water. No dry patches, no wasted water.
Drip Irrigation:
Perfect for garden beds in high-wind areas like the Bellarine Peninsula, delivering water directly to the roots without evaporation.
