Landscaping in Coodanup: what we see

Coodanup was subdivided back in 1956 and sits on the eastern side of the Peel Inlet, bounded by the Serpentine River. It's an older, more affordable suburb with big blocks, lots of original homes and a growing number of renovations and rebuilds.

Big blocks mean big lawns and big potential. We do a lot of full back-yard rebuilds here — earthworks to sort decades of levels, limestone retaining, new retic, lawn, sheds pads and paving — as well as budget-conscious front-yard tidy-ups and pre-sale clean-ups.

Three things to know about Coodanup yards

  • Low-lying streets near the river sit wet in winter: drainage and levels first.
  • Older bores are common — test before deciding on retic water source.
  • Large blocks suit staged landscaping: bones now, finishes later.
