Landscaping in Lakelands: what we see

Lakelands is Mandurah's northernmost suburb and one of its newest — a Peet estate of more than 2,500 lots, typically around 500 m², with its own train station since 2023. Almost every yard here is a first-time landscape on a raw sand block.

That makes it our bread and butter: sand removal, laser levelling, concrete-sleeper or limestone retaining between neighbours, retic, roll-on lawn or artificial turf, exposed aggregate and planting that meets the estate's design guidelines. Small blocks mean we design for efficiency — every square metre has a job.

Three things to know about Lakelands yards

  • Lots of ~500 m²: narrow side access, so we use a mini excavator and barrow where needed.
  • Design guidelines: front yards generally need lawn or turf, planting and sometimes a tree — within a set period.
  • Lakelands has been fined more than most suburbs for off-roster watering — we set your controller right.
