Fitzroy Landscaping & Garden Maintenance

Making the most of Fitzroy's gardens since 1995

Fitzroy's gardens are compact, characterful, and often tucked behind terrace facades and converted warehouses, which makes getting the most from limited space a craft in itself. Consolidated Horticultural Services has worked across the suburb for over 30 years, transforming courtyards, small rear gardens, and rooftop spaces into greenery that works hard for its footprint. From planting and seasonal care to full courtyard makeovers, we help Fitzroy gardens feel considered, lush, and genuinely usable.

Good landscaping in Fitzroy is less about scale and more about precision. Small urban gardens leave no room for error, so plant selection, structure, and ongoing care all have to earn their place. That is the kind of detail-led work we have built our reputation on.

CHS was founded in 1995 by Alistair Bethke, following seven years with the City of Melbourne's Parks and Gardens division. That horticultural grounding shapes how we approach every garden, whatever its size, and it is why our work has featured in renowned landscape designer Paul Bangay's published books. The same eye for structure and proportion that suits a large formal garden is exactly what a compact Fitzroy courtyard needs.



Whether you want a low-maintenance courtyard, a green rear garden, or an ongoing care program for an established space, you will be working with one of Melbourne's most experienced horticultural teams. Get in touch to arrange a quote.

Fitzroy Landscaping & Gardening FAQs

Common questions about our garden maintenance and landscaping services for Fitzroy's courtyards and inner-city gardens.

Do you work on small courtyard gardens in Fitzroy?

Yes, they are one of our specialities in the area. Fitzroy is full of compact courtyards and small rear gardens where every element counts. We focus on smart planting, structure, and materials that make a small space feel green, private, and usable.

Can you access tight rear gardens and laneway properties?

We can. Many Fitzroy properties have narrow rear access, shared laneways, or no direct vehicle access at all. We scale our equipment and approach to suit, and we are experienced at working cleanly on constrained inner-city sites.

Do you offer regular garden maintenance in Fitzroy?

Yes. We provide ongoing seasonal care for Fitzroy gardens, including planting, pruning, weeding, and general upkeep. Even small gardens benefit from a regular light-touch program to keep them looking their best year-round.

Can you green up a rooftop, balcony, or courtyard with limited light?

Often, yes. Many inner-Fitzroy spaces deal with shade, limited soil, or hard surfaces. We select plants and solutions suited to the conditions, so the result actually thrives rather than just looking good on day one.

How much does landscaping in Fitzroy cost?

It depends on the size of the space and the scope of work, since a courtyard refresh is very different from a full redesign. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a quote, and we will assess the site before providing a written estimate.
