Fraser Rise is on the eastern side of the growth front, next to Hillside and Caroline Springs, with the new estates at Deanside and Plumpton nearby. About 9,100 people lived there at the 2021 Census, 95 per cent of occupied homes were separate houses, and 82 per cent were owned or being bought. That makes it a suburb of owner-occupiers finishing yards on new homes.
Melton Landscaping does not do landscaping. Your request goes to a local landscaper who works Fraser Rise.

Before you book
Check your Housing Design Guideline, if your development has one, for anything about front gardens or fences. Ask the landscaper which parts of the job are structural, because walls, paving and decks under a domestic building contract worth more than $10,000 must be done by a practitioner registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission.
Registration and permits
Planting, turf and garden maintenance are not registered work in Victoria. Walls, paving, decks and other structural work under a domestic building contract worth more than $10,000 must be carried out by a practitioner registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission, so ask who is registered and whether anything needs a building permit.
