We have walked through plenty of backyards in the area, and the best ones always work with the land instead of fighting it. If you are planning Landscaping in North Ryde this year, a few smart choices can cut your water bill and your weekend workload.
Landscaping North Ryde Starts With Your Soil
Many blocks here sit on heavy clay. Before we lay anything, we dig test holes to check drainage and sun patterns. You can do the same with a spade and a free Saturday morning.
Choose Native Plants That Cope With Sydney Weather
Natives need less water and attract birds and bees. Our favourites include:
● Lomandra for tough borders
● Kangaroo paw for bright colour
● Westringia for neat hedging
● Grevillea for year-round flowers
Water Smart Habits That Save Money
A rainwater system and a well-planned sprinkler system use every drop wisely. We also spread thick mulch over garden beds, which keeps moisture in and weeds out. You will notice the difference by your first summer.
Hard Surfaces That Let the Ground Breathe
Solid concrete sends rain straight to the gutter. We prefer sandstone paving, bluestone or porcelain laid with gaps that let water soak in. On sloping blocks, sandstone retaining walls hold the soil, stop erosion and create flat garden levels. Yard levelling also keeps water moving away from your home.
Lessons From Landscaping Epping Projects
Epping has plenty of steep, leafy blocks. On a recent Landscaping Epping job, we terraced the slope and planted ground covers to lock the soil in place. The owners now spend less time mowing and more time outside.
Where lawn matters, we suggest Sir Walter Buffalo or Kikuyu turf, which handle foot traffic and dry spells well.
Small Habits That Keep Gardens Thriving
● Water early in the morning
● Compost your kitchen scraps
● Mow a little higher
● Check your irrigation each season
