Landscaping in Pinjarra: what we see

Pinjarra is the historic heart of the Shire of Murray — a Murray River town 21 km south-east of Mandurah with heritage homes, 1970s Alcoa-era streets, newer estates on the edges and acreage all around.

The soil is the best in the region — river loam that actually holds water — so natural lawns and gardens thrive. Our Pinjarra jobs range from town-block renovations and new-build packages to acreage driveways, firebreaks, retaining and bore retic.

Three things to know about Pinjarra yards

  • Loam and clay hold water: fewer retic stations, but drainage matters in winter.
  • Heritage-area homes suit traditional gardens, brick paving and limestone.
  • Alcoa and estate growth bring steady new-build work.

FAQ

Pinjarra landscaping questions

Is natural lawn easier in Pinjarra than on the coast?
Yes — Pinjarra's river loam holds water and nutrients far better than coastal sand, so kikuyu, couch and buffalo establish quickly and need less amendment. Drainage is the thing to get right instead.
What are the watering days in Pinjarra?
Two days a week set by the last digit of your street number — 1 or 8: Wed & Sat; 2 or 9: Sun & Thu; 3 or 0: Mon & Fri; 4: Tue & Sat; 5: Sun & Wed; 6: Mon & Thu; 7: Tue & Fri — before 9am or after 6pm, with sprinklers off 1 June to 31 August. Bores included. Use our watering-day finder to check.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Pinjarra?
Under the WA Building Regulations any wall retaining more than 500 mm needs a building permit from the Shire of Murray and an engineer's design. On canal-zoned lots in the Shire of Murray, planning approval is always required.
