Landscaping in Serpentine: what we see

Serpentine is a rural town and acreage district at the foot of the Darling Scarp — hobby farms, equestrian properties and lifestyle blocks around the Serpentine River and dam.

We take on acreage landscaping here: driveways, firebreaks, paddock levelling, big retaining runs, bore reticulation and house-surround gardens that use the better loam soils closer to the scarp.

Three things to know about Serpentine yards

Better soil than the coast — natural lawn and gardens establish more easily.
Shire of SJ firebreak notice applies.
Long driveways: limestone or gravel with proper crossfall.
