Transforming Your Garden
A garden renovation is one of the best investments in your Perth property. Whether you are preparing to sell, just bought, or simply want to enjoy your outdoor space, here is the step-by-step process for a successful renovation.
Phase 1: Assessment and Design
Survey what you have (keep healthy mature trees). Define zones: entertaining, play, garden, utility. Get a professional landscape design — it saves money long-term. Set budget with 15% contingency.
Phase 2: Hardscape First
Build structures first: retaining walls, paving, decking, fencing. Install reticulation before planting. This order prevents damage to new plants and allows efficient machine access.
Phase 3: Softscape
Prepare soil (critical in Perth’s sand). Plant trees first, then shrubs, then ground covers. Mulch everything immediately. Set up irrigation zones. Get matched with Perth landscapers for a smooth renovation. See our cost guide for budgeting.
