Question 1

What makes Northern Beaches landscaping different?

Accepted Answer

Northern Beaches coastal landscaping requires specialized knowledge of intense salt spray exposure, sandy free-draining soils, strong coastal winds and sea breezes, and unique microclimate variations from Manly to Palm Beach. We select salt-tolerant natives like coastal rosemary, westringia, and lomandra that thrive in these conditions. All materials are coastal-grade to resist corrosion. We design wind protection using hardy screening plants. Our 60+ Northern Beaches projects demonstrate expertise with these coastal challenges, ensuring your beachside landscape not only survives but thrives.

Question 2

What plants work best for Northern Beaches coastal gardens?

Accepted Answer

Best plants for Northern Beaches are salt-tolerant species. Native Australian plants like coastal banksia, coastal rosemary, westringia, and lomandra excel in salt spray. Pigface is perfect for dune-like areas. For screening, tuckeroo and lilly pilly varieties handle salt well. Coastal tea tree, coastal wattle, and grevillea thrive in Beaches conditions. For colour, native hibiscus, native violets, and kangaroo paw are salt-resistant. We avoid salt-sensitive plants like azaleas and standard roses in coastal Northern Beaches properties. Our designs prioritize hardy proven performers for Manly, Avalon, Mona Vale, and all beachside suburbs.

Question 3

How much does landscaping cost in Northern Beaches?

Accepted Answer

Northern Beaches landscaping costs are premium due to coastal-grade materials and access challenges in some areas. Artificial turf ranges $55-$130 per m², natural coastal turf $35-$70 per m², coastal-grade paving $75-$170 per m², retaining walls $350-$900 per m², and treated timber pergolas $7,000-$35,000. Complete coastal transformations range $25,000-$120,000+ depending on size and features. Coastal-grade materials add 10-20% premium but ensure longevity in salt spray. Some Northern Beaches properties have access challenges affecting costs. We provide detailed quotes after site assessment including all coastal material specifications.

Question 4

Do you handle sandy soils in Northern Beaches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Northern Beaches sandy soils require special handling. We amend soils with organic matter and compost for water retention, replace sandy areas with quality soil blends for garden beds, design drainage systems to prevent washout while managing runoff, apply comprehensive mulching to retain moisture, ensure adequate soil depth for turf installation, and engineer retaining walls for sandy soil bearing capacity. Our Northern Beaches experience from Manly to Palm Beach means we understand these coastal sandy soil challenges and implement proven solutions ensuring long-term landscaping success in beachside conditions.

Question 6

Can you landscape around pools in Northern Beaches?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We specialize in Northern Beaches pool landscaping with double salt exposure - coastal conditions plus pool chlorine. We select doubly salt-tolerant plants like lomandra, agapanthus, and westringia, use slip-resistant coastal-grade paving, create privacy screening with hardy coastal plants, design entertainment areas with treated timber, install salt-resistant irrigation, and provide proper drainage. All work complies with pool safety regulations. Our Northern Beaches pool landscapes from Manly to Avalon create resort-style outdoor areas perfect for beachside living with materials and plants proven to handle harsh coastal salt environments.

Question 7

How do you handle strong coastal winds in Northern Beaches?

Accepted Answer

Strong coastal winds are a major challenge for Northern Beaches landscaping, especially in exposed areas like Dee Why, Mona Vale, and Avalon headlands. We create windbreaks using hardy coastal screening plants like tuckeroo, coastal banksia, and lilly pilly varieties, design sheltered zones for entertainment areas, select low-growing, wind-resistant plants for exposed areas, use wind-resistant natives with flexible stems, stake new plants securely with coastal-grade fixings, and design structures like pergolas to handle wind loads. Strategic wind protection transforms exposed Northern Beaches properties into usable, comfortable outdoor spaces while maintaining ocean views and beachside ambiance.

Question 8

Do you provide maintenance for Northern Beaches coastal gardens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer comprehensive coastal garden maintenance for Northern Beaches properties. Coastal gardens require specific maintenance including regular washing of foliage to remove salt buildup, pruning wind and salt-damaged growth, fertilizing to replace nutrients leached by sandy soils and rain, mulch replenishment, irrigation system maintenance, monitoring for coastal wind damage, and seasonal plant care. We provide monthly, quarterly, or custom maintenance schedules for Manly, Dee Why, Mona Vale, Avalon, and all Northern Beaches suburbs. Our team understands unique needs of exposed beachfront versus more sheltered properties, ensuring your coastal garden remains healthy and beautiful year-round.
