Landscaping in Cooloongup: what we see

Cooloongup is an affordable, established suburb between Rockingham and the freeway — 1970s–90s homes on decent blocks, lots of renovations and a growing number of infill builds.

Typical jobs: lawn replacements on amended sand, retic rebuilds, limestone retaining and edging, exposed aggregate driveways and paths, artificial turf for rentals, and budget front-yard packages for infill builds.

Three things to know about Cooloongup yards

  • Low areas near the lake can be winter-wet — levels and drainage first.
  • Infill builds: small, tight-access sites.
  • Older retic rarely hydrozoned — we fix it.
