Landscaping in Rockingham: what we see

Rockingham itself — the beachfront, the foreshore strip, the older streets behind it — is an established suburb with 1960s–90s homes, apartments near the beach and a steady run of renovations and rebuilds as the foreshore gentrifies.

Our Rockingham jobs lean towards renovation and finishing: replacing worn lawns, rebuilding retaining in limestone, exposed aggregate driveways and alfrescos, artificial turf in small courtyards, and coastal planting on the beach streets. We also do pre-sale tidy-ups for agents.

Three things to know about Rockingham yards

  • Beach streets: salt and wind — tough natives and artificial turf out front.
  • Older blocks often have good bones but tired retic — upgrades to smart controllers are cheap wins.
  • Verge hardstand limited to 50% or 10 m² by the City.
