Landscaping Halls Head
Halls Head is Mandurah's biggest suburb and probably its most varied — 1960s and 70s brick-and-tile homes around the Mandurah Country Club, 1980s and 90s canal estates at Port Mandurah, and newer coastal lots at Seascapes along the ocean.

Landscaping in Halls Head: what we see
Halls Head is Mandurah's biggest suburb and probably its most varied — 1960s and 70s brick-and-tile homes around the Mandurah Country Club, 1980s and 90s canal estates at Port Mandurah, and newer coastal lots at Seascapes along the ocean. We've worked on all three, and each has its own landscaping problems.
Canal-side blocks need salt-tolerant planting, careful levels down to the canal wall (walls within 6 m of the canal wall have their own rules) and retic that doesn't blast the water. Older homes usually need failing timber retaining swapped for limestone, lawns renovated or replaced, and thirsty 1980s plantings converted to waterwise gardens. Seascapes lots are raw sand and wind — screening and soil improvement first.
Three things to know about Halls Head yards
- Salt spray on the ocean side burns soft-leaf plants — we use coastal natives, Westringia, cushion bush and dwarf olives.
- Canal lots: planning rules differ near the canal wall; we check before quoting any retaining.
- Lots of shade from established trees around the Country Club — Sir Walter Buffalo rather than kikuyu.
