Plant Selection for Perth Gardens
Choosing plants around sun, soil, space and maintenance
For new gardens, established beds and landscape renovations
Good plant selection starts with the conditions of the garden rather than choosing plants only by appearance. We consider sun exposure, soil, drainage, available space, irrigation and the amount of maintenance you want to undertake. Mature plant size is also important so garden beds have enough room to develop without becoming overcrowded soon after installation.
End to End Landscaping
Planning height, screening, colour and seasonal interest
Suitable for front gardens, backyard beds, screening and feature planting
Planting works best when each bed has a clear role. Taller plants may provide screening or structure, medium shrubs can fill the body of the bed, and lower plants or groundcovers can soften edges near paths and paving. Repetition can help the garden feel more cohesive while feature plants can be used selectively where they will have the most impact.
Plants for Sun, Shade & Different Garden Areas
Full sun | Part shade | Screening | Feature planting
Different parts of the same property can have very different growing conditions, so plant choices should be matched to each location.
Areas beside north- or west-facing walls may experience strong heat, while covered patios, narrow side access and established trees can create shade. We select plants with these differences in mind and consider the mature width of each species so paths, windows and outdoor living spaces remain usable as the garden grows.
Plant Selection & Irrigation
Matching watering zones to different plant groups
Planning water requirements before planting
Plants with similar water requirements are easier to manage when grouped together. Before planting, irrigation can be planned around lawn, garden beds and feature areas so each zone receives appropriate coverage. This also makes it easier to adjust watering as the garden becomes established.
Planting as Part of the Landscape Design
Small | Medium | Large | Garden Design
Coordinate planting with paving, lawn, mulch and outdoor areas
Planting should support the rest of the landscape rather than compete with it. We consider how plants will frame entrances, soften retaining walls, sit beside paving and lawn, provide privacy or create focal points. Planning these relationships before installation helps produce a garden that feels balanced as it matures.
