Overgrowth Management in Mulgrave

Overgrowth Management in Mulgrave: Local Conditions and What That Means for Your Property

Blocks in the older Mulgrave grid that have sat with minimal maintenance can quickly develop significant overgrowth along rear and side boundaries, particularly where liquid amber or elm self-seeding from street trees takes hold in garden beds. The Dandenong Creek corridor runs along the suburb's eastern edge, and properties backing onto that reserve deal with a steady push of blackberry and exotic grasses under the fence line each season. In the Waverley Park area, former Mirvac common land now handed to Monash Council still has pockets of unmaintained vegetation at block edges and drainage easements. Slashing and clearing these areas before handover or after storm events is work we pick up periodically.
