The difference between a yard that still looks good in five years and one that sinks, cracks or dies off is mostly in the parts you never see. We plan every job around the same basics landscape designers use:

Read the site first — sun, shade, slope, soil and how you’ll actually use the space.
Water goes away from the house — falls, drainage and soakwells set before anything is built.
Proper bases — compacted road base under paving, drainage behind every retaining wall.
Waterwise planting — improved soil, plants grouped by water needs, mulch to hold moisture.
Balance — enough hard surface to live on, enough lawn and garden to keep the yard cool.

Landscaping for homes, strata and commercial sites

Whether it is one tired backyard or a whole set of common grounds, the job starts the same way: a visit to your site, a clear plan and a fixed written price.

Homes

Front and back yard upgrades, new lawns, paving, retaining walls and reticulation, plus regular lawn care and garden maintenance to keep it looking right.

Strata

Scheduled grounds maintenance for common areas, including mowing, hedging, weed control and reticulation checks, so residents and strata managers have one less thing to chase.

Commercial sites

Grounds care and pressure cleaning for offices, warehouses and retail sites, planned around your business so the site stays presentable.

What to expect from your free quote

You can pick a quote time on our live calendar, any time of day, without waiting for a call back. Here is how it works:

Choose a time: see real availability and book a one-hour visit, or two hours for a large site. We are closed on Sundays.
Tell us about the job: add your address and a few details. You can include up to three photos if that helps.
We visit and measure up: we look at access, soil, levels and drainage, and answer your questions.
You get a fixed written quote: itemised and usually sent within 24 hours, with no obligation to go ahead.

Planning a landscape that suits Perth

Perth yards have their own challenges: sandy soil that dries out fast, long hot summers and water restrictions. A few decisions early on make the biggest difference:

Fix the levels first. On a sloping block, retaining walls usually come before anything else, because they set the height of everything built around them.
Plan water before plants. Reticulation is far easier to lay before turf and paving go down.
Prepare the soil. New lawn and garden beds do better when the sand is improved before planting.
Balance hard and soft areas. Paving gives you space to use, while lawn and planting keep the yard cooler and soak up rain.
