Landscaping in Ravenswood: what we see

Ravenswood is growing fast along the Murray River between Pinjarra and the freeway — new estates on flat blocks, plus older river-view homes and some acreage.

New-build front and back yards are the main job — levels, retaining, retic, lawn, paving and planting to the estate guidelines — along with acreage driveways and bore retic for the larger lots.

Three things to know about Ravenswood yards

  • Flat blocks with clay at depth: winter drainage planned in.
  • Estate landscaping guidelines apply.
  • River loam near the Murray suits lush natural lawn.
