Landscaping in Madora Bay: what we see

Madora Bay is a quiet beachside estate suburb in Mandurah's north — new and near-new homes on sand and limestone blocks a few streets back from the ocean, with an older pocket of original beach homes on the western edge.

New-build landscaping dominates: levels and retaining, retic, lawn or artificial turf, exposed aggregate and coastal planting that can take salt wind. The estate side has design guidelines and landscaping deadlines; the beach side is renovations and wind-proofing.

Three things to know about Madora Bay yards

  • Limestone close to the surface in parts — trenching and footings sometimes need a breaker.
  • Westerly exposure: screening walls and salt-tolerant natives on the front.
  • Estate landscaping deadlines on new builds.
