Landscaping in Karnup: what we see

Karnup is still mostly rural-residential — hobby farms and big lifestyle blocks between Baldivis and Lakelands — with new estates starting to arrive around the planned station. Fifteen minutes from our base.

Acreage work dominates: gravel and limestone driveways, firebreaks, paddock and arena levelling, shed pads, bore retic and pump systems, and house-surround gardens. The new estate lots get our standard new-build package.

Three things to know about Karnup yards

Winter-wet ground on the flats — drainage and levels before slabs or driveways.
Bore water is standard; iron staining needs the right filter.
Firebreaks required on larger lots each November.
