Landscaping in Singleton: what we see

Singleton is the southernmost suburb of the City of Rockingham, sitting right on the border with Mandurah's Madora Bay — a mix of 1990s beach-style homes and newer estate lots on sand and limestone.

Ten minutes from our base, Singleton gets the same new-build and renovation packages as Madora Bay: levels, retaining, retic, turf, exposed aggregate and coastal planting, plus plenty of timber-retaining replacements on the older streets.

Three things to know about Singleton yards

  • Limestone close to the surface on some blocks — footings and trenches sometimes need a breaker.
  • Beach streets: wind and salt planning.
  • Rockingham verge rules apply (50% or 10 m² hardstand).
