Local Melba lawn care
Lawn care on Melba’s composer-named streets
Fox Mowing ACT mows and gardens right across Melba, a 1972 suburb named after Dame Nellie Melba, where the streets are named for composers, singers and other musical Australians: Grainger Circuit, Alfred Hill Drive, Carandini Street, Goldner Circuit and dozens more. The suburb covers about 2.3 square kilometres at around 582 metres, bordered by Fraser, Spence, Evatt, Flynn, Latham and Florey. Mount Rogers Community School and Melba Copland Secondary School are here, and the Melba Tennis Club’s eight courts sit beside the playing fields.
The 2021 census counted 3,383 people in Melba, most of them in separate houses on the family-sized blocks the early 1970s were built around. Fifty years on those blocks carry established trees, big hedges and lawns of couch and kikuyu that have been mowed for decades, often with a fescue patch where the shade got too deep. The Deakin Fault runs north-west through the suburb, so the rock under the topsoil changes within a few streets; our operators, who work the 2615 postcode every week, are used to lawns that behave a little differently on either side of the road.
