Landscaping in San Remo: what we see

San Remo is the small beachside strip between Silver Sands and Madora Bay with three kilometres of beach, a mix of 1980s–2000s homes and a steady stream of renovations on good-sized blocks.

Our San Remo jobs are mostly renovations: swapping timber retaining for limestone, replacing wind-battered front lawns with artificial turf, building sheltered alfresco zones out the back, and resetting retic to the watering roster.

Three things to know about San Remo yards

  • Salt and wind on the beach streets; calmer back yards suit natural lawn and shade trees.
  • Older timber retaining is failing across the suburb — limestone is the usual replacement.
  • Sand-removal and re-levelling on rebuild blocks.

FAQ

San Remo landscaping questions

Can you replace rotten timber retaining walls in San Remo?
Yes — it's one of our most common jobs here. We remove the old sleepers, re-cut the bank, build a limestone block or concrete sleeper wall with proper drainage, and organise engineering and a permit if the wall retains more than 500 mm.

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 San Remo?
Under the WA Building Regulations any wall retaining more than 500 mm needs a building permit from the City of Mandurah and an engineer's design. Walls under 500 mm are generally exempt. We handle the paperwork.
