LANDSCAPING FOR ARMADALE
Local landscaping for period homes and established gardens
Armadale has residential precincts with homes from different periods. City of Stonnington heritage studies describe Victorian-period cottages in the Cambridge Street precinct and Edwardian villas in the Union Street precinct. Those streetscapes show why it can help to consider a home’s facade, existing paths and garden features when planning a redesign. See the Council’s heritage precinct study and current heritage review.
ZMR plans each garden around the actual property. During a site visit, we discuss access, dimensions, sunlight, levels, drainage and any existing plants or features you want to keep before recommending a scope.

HERITAGE AND PROPERTY CHECKS
Check planning requirements for your address
Heritage controls depend on the property and the work. City of Stonnington says that some work on a property in a Heritage Overlay may need a planning permit. Its garden guidance also calls for retaining trees with heritage tree controls and significant or early landscaping elements. Before changing a front fence, deck, driveway or established garden, check the address-specific requirements with Council or use the Victorian Government’s Planning Property Report and VicPlan.
ZMR can discuss the proposed landscaping scope during a site visit. Confirm permit and heritage obligations with Council before work begins. See the City of Stonnington heritage guidelines for the current requirements.
