Project Highlight – Oceanfront Garden Transformation
On an ocean-facing Vaucluse property with strong coastal winds and a sloping front lawn, we carried out a complete garden overhaul:
- Replaced weather-damaged ornamentals with hardy natives including Banksia integrifolia, coastal rosemary and Westringia
- Shaped formal Murraya hedges and topiary spheres to define the entry
- Installed subsurface drip irrigation zones for efficient watering in exposed beds
- Applied soil conditioners and thick mulch layers to stabilise slopes and retain moisture
- Integrated sandstone steppers and low retaining to frame the plantings
Outcome: a structured, wind-resistant garden that complements the coastal architecture and remains low-maintenance throughout the year.
Vaucluse Gardening Tips
- Plant for exposure: select deep-rooted natives and tough Mediterranean species to anchor soil and withstand strong winds.
- Mulch deeply: coastal winds can strip surface moisture quickly — a thick mulch layer helps regulate soil temperature and water retention.
- Layer strategically: use structural shrubs as windbreaks and underplant with low species to create natural protection without blocking views.
- Irrigate efficiently: drip systems reduce salt crusting and minimise evaporation in sunny, exposed areas.
