Aged Care Courtyard Upgrades: What We’ve Been Working On


We’ve been busy transforming outdoor spaces at aged care facilities across Melbourne, and we wanted to share two recent projects that show exactly what Brocor brings to this kind of work.

Courtyards and outdoor areas are a big deal in aged care. They’re where residents take a walk, spend time with family, or simply sit in the fresh air. When those spaces are functional, safe, and genuinely beautiful, they make a real difference to people’s daily lives. That’s what drives us on every project like this.

Here’s a look at two courtyard upgrades we’ve recently completed.


📍 Project Spotlight: Aged Care Courtyard Upgrade – Rosebud, VIC

This courtyard in Rosebud was in need of a full refresh and our landscape construction team, led by Corey, delivered exactly that. What was once a worn, uninviting outdoor area is now a welcoming space residents can enjoy every day, whether they’re stepping outside for some fresh air or simply looking out the window at something lovely.

WHAT WE DELIVERED:

✔️ New concrete throughout

✔️ New outdoor benches & seating

✔️ Fresh planting

✔️ Feature lighting

✔️ Water feature

✔️ Mulch refresh

✔️ Shade sail installation

📍 Project Spotlight: Aged Care Courtyard Upgrade – Frankston, VIC

Our most recent aged care courtyard project, this one in Frankston, is a great example of how the right upgrades can turn an outdoor space into something residents and their families genuinely want to spend time in.

Our team worked through the courtyard methodically, removing an existing water feature to open up the space, pruning and reshaping established plants, and introducing new trees, shrubs and groundcovers for year-round colour and interest. Two shade sails now provide comfortable shelter, synthetic turf gives the space a lush, low-maintenance lawn, and a new irrigation system keeps everything thriving with minimal effort.

Our grounds maintenance team continues to care for the space on an ongoing basis.

WHAT WE DELIVERED:

✔️ Demolition & removal of existing water feature

✔️ Pruning & reshaping of existing plants

✔️ New planting of trees, shrubs and groundcovers

✔️ Bark mulch throughout garden beds

✔️ Synthetic turf installation

✔️ Irrigation system

✔️ Shade sail installation

✔️ Ongoing grounds maintenance
