- Post-war frontages here look best simple and immaculate: an open front lawn, a strong driveway edge and a low hedge to the boundary.
- Regular level blocks make for efficient scheduled mowing, and consistency keeps lawns dense enough to hold weeds out.

Gardening in Strathmore Heights
About Strathmore Heights
Strathmore Heights is a small pocket at the far north of Strathmore, closed in by Essendon Airport, the Albion-Jacana freight railway and the Moonee Ponds Creek. It was developed from 1960 by a company promoted by Bruce Small of Malvern Star bicycles, who also owned the neighbouring land at Gowanbrae. Because it sits just north of what was then Melbourne's international airport, the streets carry aviation names such as Boeing Road, Lockheed Street, De Havilland Avenue, Fokker Street and Vickers Avenue. Boeing Reserve, with its ovals and baseball field, takes up a large share of the suburb. There is no railway station, and the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail runs along its edge, with Glenroy and Oak Park on the other side of the creek.
Soil, water and weather
The Bureau of Meteorology's Melbourne Airport station, a short drive to the north-west, averages about 537 mm of rain a year, January days of 26.7°C and July nights of 5.5°C, with August to October the windiest months. Strathmore Heights shares that weather, and the open ground of the airfield next door gives the wind a clear run across front gardens. Under the topsoil is the basalt clay of the north-west, which cracks open in a dry summer and pulls away from paths, edges and fence posts. Spring is the time to fill hollows in the lawn with top dressing and core any compacted patches, before the clay hardens and the hot weather arrives.
Jobs that suit Strathmore Heights gardens
- Lawn mowing: A typical Strathmore Heights post-war block has an open front lawn and a backyard of similar size, which usually sits in the standard family lawn band on our pricing page, about $50 to $65 a visit.
- Hedge trimming: Boundary hedges here take the full force of the wind, and a face that is cut back hard often browns off on the windward side. Light, regular trims keep them dense and green, priced from $60.
- Garden clean ups: Fence lines that face open ground, such as the reserve or the creek land, tend to collect blown leaves and litter. A seasonal clean up clears fence lines and beds, cuts back overhanging growth and removes the green waste on the day.

Questions
Strathmore Heights Garden Care FAQ
Why are the streets in Strathmore Heights named after aircraft?
Strathmore Heights was developed from 1960, right beside Essendon Airport, which was Melbourne's international airport at the time. The streets were given aviation names such as Boeing Road, Lockheed Street and De Havilland Avenue, and Boeing Reserve was named the same way.
Is Strathmore Heights windier than the streets around it?
It is more exposed. The Melbourne Airport weather station records its strongest average winds from August to October, and the open ground of Essendon Airport gives that wind a clear run at the suburb. Lawns and beds dry out faster as a result, so a slightly higher cut and mulched beds help.
