Landscaping in Baldivis: what we see

Baldivis is the most populous suburb in Western Australia and still releasing lots — Settlers Hills, Tuart Ridge, Rivergums, Avalon, Parkland Heights and more. It's 46 km from Perth, 20 minutes from our Mandurah base, and almost every yard here started as a cut-and-fill sand block.

We landscape Baldivis new builds end to end: strip the builder's sand, laser-level, build or extend concrete-sleeper and limestone retaining, run retic, lay roll-on lawn or artificial turf, pour exposed aggregate and plant to the estate design guidelines. Rural Baldivis east of the freeway is acreage work — driveways, firebreaks, bore retic and big lawns on sand-over-clay.

Three things to know about Baldivis yards

  • Estate covenants usually require front-yard landscaping within 6–12 months of handover.
  • Eastern (rural) Baldivis sits on clay at depth and can be winter-wet — drainage first.
  • Shared boundary retaining is often already built; we tie into it rather than rebuild.
