MG Landscaping was started by Maung Maung Shwe and operates out of Springvale, where the business is still based today. It began the way most trade businesses in this part of Melbourne begin, with one person doing good work on local jobs and being asked back by neighbours who had seen the result. That word of mouth is still where most of our work comes from across Springvale, Doveton, Hallam and out into Berwick and Rowville. The business grew from garden work into the full outdoor build because clients kept asking for the next thing - a retaining wall before the turf, a driveway to match the new alfresco. Rather than sending people to another trade, we learned to build it. Today MG Landscaping handles the whole yard, from the design on paper to the last paver laid.

Maung Maung Shwe owns and runs MG Landscaping, and he is on the tools rather than behind a desk. That is deliberate. Landscaping is a trade where the decisions that matter most get made on site, standing in the yard looking at where the water goes and how the levels work, and those calls are hard to delegate to someone who was not at the quote. It also means the person who measured your block and wrote the price is the person you deal with for the whole job. Maung Maung's approach to quoting is to price by measurement rather than by guess, to put the numbers in writing, and to tell clients honestly when something is not worth doing. Clients across Springvale, Endeavour Hills and Berwick keep calling back for that as much as for the work itself.


MG Landscaping runs as a small, consistent team rather than a rotating list of subcontractors, and that consistency is the point. The same faces are on your site from the first day to the last, which means nobody has to be told twice where the levels are set or why the drainage is going in before the paving. Everyone on the team works to the way Maung Maung sets a job up, so the standard does not change depending on who turned up that morning. It also makes communication straightforward for clients, because there is one person to speak to and no gap between what was agreed at the quote and what happens on the ground. On larger builds involving retaining, concrete, decking and turf, that continuity is what keeps the whole sequence tied together.

MG Landscaping operates under ABN 98 441 884 074 and carries public liability insurance, and we are happy to provide the certificate of currency with any quote. Beyond that, the credentials that matter in this trade are practical ones. We build to the relevant Australian standards, including AS 1684 for timber framing on decks and pergolas and AS 3727 for residential pavements, and we specify concrete slabs, footings and drainage to suit the ground rather than to a single default. We know the permit thresholds that apply in Victoria - retaining walls over one metre, decks above 800 millimetres, vehicle crossovers - and we raise them before quoting rather than after. We work across Greater Dandenong, Casey, Knox, Frankston, Kingston and Maroondah, and each council handles crossovers, tree controls and approvals slightly differently.


The practical reason to use MG Landscaping is that one team handles the whole yard, so the levels, falls and finishes are set once at the start rather than negotiated between three separate trades halfway through. The second reason is that we put real numbers in front of you. We quote by measurement, itemise the parts of the job that are easy to hide - excavation, base depth, drainage, edge restraint - and give you a fixed written figure with a start date. Nothing changes without your agreement. We are based in Springvale, so we are close to most of the suburbs we work in and can come back quickly if something needs attention after handover. Whether it is a single driveway or a full front-and-back build, the approach is the same. Call Maung Maung on 0423 422 866.
