Attwood is a quiet residential pocket near Westmeadows, characterised by family homes on generous blocks and a network of local parks and walking trails. Gardens here are typically spacious and well established.
What we know about Attwood gardens
- Attwood's larger blocks often carry substantial lawns and boundary hedges that look best on a regular scheduled maintenance routine rather than occasional catch-ups.
- The open, breezy position means wind-tough hedge plants like westringia and lilly pilly perform well and hold a dense face with regular trimming.
- Mature trees on many Attwood properties make occasional canopy lifting and deadwood removal an important part of keeping grounds safe and tidy.

Local Knowledge
Gardening in Attwood
About Attwood
Attwood is a small suburb on Mickleham Road. Greenvale wraps around its north and west, Westmeadows lies to the east and south, and Attwood shares the 3049 postcode with Westmeadows. Melbourne Airport sits beyond its south-western edge and the Bulla district lies to the north-west, which puts Attwood among the last stretches of suburban housing before the airport land begins. The suburb is also home to Victoria Police's driver training track, Dog Squad and Mounted Branch, on land that is closed to the public. The rest of Attwood is residential streets between Greenvale and Westmeadows, about 5 km in a straight line from our base in Glenroy.
Soil, water and weather
The Bureau of Meteorology's Melbourne Airport station, just to the south-west, is the best guide to Attwood's weather: about 537 mm of rain a year, January days averaging 26.7°C and July nights averaging 5.5°C. The soil is the basalt plain's heavy clay, which turns sticky after winter rain and sets hard through a dry summer. With so little rain over the warm months, lawns here need a higher cut from late spring and do better with a deep soak once a week than a light sprinkle every evening. Wind is the other factor: the same station records its strongest winds from August to October, which strips moisture from open lawns just as spring growth starts.
Jobs that suit Attwood gardens
- Lawn mowing: Attwood's generous blocks often mean front and back lawns in the large band on our pricing guide, around $70 to $110 or more a visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly mowing keeps the per-visit cost down and stops spring growth from getting away.
- Garden clean ups: Windy weather from August to October leaves leaf, bark and twigs piled along fences and through the garden beds. A spring clean up clears it out, cuts back overgrowth, weeds and edges the beds, and all the green waste is taken away on the day.
- Synthetic turf: Where a lawn struggles through Attwood's dry summers, synthetic turf is an option for small or hard-to-water areas such as side strips and play spaces. It is quoted per job once the area has been measured.
Questions
Attwood Garden Care FAQ
Do Attwood and Westmeadows share a postcode?
Yes. Attwood and Westmeadows both use 3049, and both are in the City of Hume. Attwood also borders Greenvale and Meadow Heights, and we cover all four suburbs from our Glenroy base, which is about 5 km from Attwood in a straight line.
Why does my Attwood lawn dry out so fast in summer?
Attwood sits next to the Bureau of Meteorology's Melbourne Airport station, which averages only about 537 mm of rain a year, and its heavy clay sets hard in dry weather. Mowing higher, watering deeply but less often, and topdressing thin patches in spring help a lawn ride out January.
Is it normal for my Attwood lawn to go brown in winter?
If it is couch or kikuyu, yes. These warm-season grasses go dormant and lose colour in cold weather, and Attwood's July nights average about 5.5°C. They green up again as the soil warms in spring, helped by a light feed and a first mow on a high setting.
