Before you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Frankston lawn
- Sand: never scalp. Ask for a high cut from December; a bare patch on Frankston sand takes months to close.
- Olivers Hill and Frankston South blocks: say how steep and how the back is reached.
- The light-green-lid waste bin takes lawn and nature-strip clippings if you have opted in. Choose 'green bin' when you list.

About Frankston
Sandy soil shapes every Frankston lawn. They drain in minutes, warm early, and dry out hard in a north wind, so the lawn that does best here is a couch or kikuyu that has been left a little long over summer and watered deep rather than often. Buffalo copes well too. The post-war blocks around the station and Bayside Shopping Centre are flat and regular; the streets up Olivers Hill and toward Frankston South slope; the Kananook Creek side is lower.
The blocks themselves follow the usual suburban pattern - front lawn, nature strip, side driveway, back yard - with unit and townhouse redevelopment in the centre and larger, older gardens on the hill. Ballam Park is the big open space, and the beach and the 1857 pier are the front of the suburb.
Frankston City Council does not mow or spray where a nature strip adjoins a private property; the resident does the basic maintenance and pays for any planting. The food and garden waste bin, light-green lid, is opt-in, emptied fortnightly on the opposite week to recycling, and takes lawn and nature-strip clippings. The station has been there since 1882 and electrified since 1922.
