The growing year in Blackwood

Blackwood sits in the foothills band, with roughly 600–800 mm a year, and Blackwood is predominantly owner-occupier on large, treed blocks. The suburb is 10.4 km south of the CBD, and the Blackwood roundabout, Blackwood Forest Recreation Park and Belair National Park nearby are the local reference points we work from when planning a visit.

Blackwood lawns and the growing season

Housing in Blackwood is 1960s–80s family homes on big treed blocks, steadily being renovated by a new generation. Foothills ridge-and-gully country, with most blocks sloping in at least one direction. The ground beneath is shallow soil over fractured rock — augers meet stone early and often, and the suburb sits inside the City of Mitcham area. Local reference points include the Blackwood roundabout, Blackwood Forest Recreation Park and Belair National Park nearby. For lawn mowing, that mix is what decides how a job is scoped, which is why the block is looked at before anything is quoted.
