Landscape Design

Landscaping: Your landscape design is like a floor plan for an outdoor area and should be practical, and reflect your needs, likes and interests.

To figure out what you want to get out of your design you will then need to consider:

The function of your garden: This is a crucial aspect of landscape design as it details what the purpose of the garden will be for. Depending on your requirements the function of the garden could be one or a mix of the below:

• Entertainment – with plenty of covered areas, seating and relaxing areas that can accommodate large crowds.
• Child Friendly. – A safe garden with plenty of lawn and open space that the kids can run around in
• Pet Friendly. Materials and plants that can withstand the wear and tear of dogs.
• Structured ornamental garden. A design based purely on looks and beauty.

The theme of your garden: This is where your inspiration comes from. This could be influenced by a type of plant, culture or environment that you prefer or would like to replicate and could include:

• A relaxed, informal country garden
• Balinese style resort garden
• Rustic Australian native garden
• Simple and low maintenance garden
• Colour themed gardens
• Succulents & Cacti garden

The Design Features in your garden: You will need to decide if there are any design features that you would like to incorporate. These could include:

• Hedges
• Water features and ponds,
• Structural backdrops or pavilions
• Retaining Walls
• And any additional items which are purely for beauty and do not serve a practical significance.

Budgeting: The more features you want, the more expensive it will be. So be realistic with your budget and don’t over extend yourself as you want to be able to enjoy your new garden design without the worry of how you will be able to ever afford it!

The use and function that you want out of your garden will dictate your design decisions.

When you have visualised what you are after you will need to start creating a design plan. Your first step to landscape design is to measure out your garden site and draw a plan of your current garden. This will need to be to scale showing the correct measurements and proportions of the garden, and indicating the areas of light, shade and elevation. The plan will need to include existing features such as buildings, poles, rocks etc that cannot be moved.

Once you have set up all the elements you can now start to add all of the new landscape design elements that you want. This could include, shrubbery, trees, walkways, paths, patios, sheds, pools, lawn area and irrigation.

Creating a landscape plan will also help you in your decision making processes such as in selecting plants and materials. The more information and detail that you can put into the plan the better you will be able to cost estimate and the more likely you will be to see your design become a reality.

And, of course, if you want some additional help and advice on planning and designing your garden, then the simplest solution is to let Fox Mowing look after it all for you.
And while we’re there in your garden, we can do a lot of other stuff too to get your garden looking, and feeling, its best.

Landscape Design in Western Australia

Transform Your Outdoor Space with Thoughtful, Practical Landscape Design

Your garden is more than just plants and lawn — it’s an extension of your home, your lifestyle, and your vision. Whether you’re beginning from scratch or renewing an existing space, effective landscape design is the cornerstone of a beautiful, practical, and entertaining outdoor setting.

At Fox Mowing & Gardening WA, we offer professional landscape design services to help you reimagine your space and bring it to life — tailored to your property, your needs, and Western Australia’s unique climate.

What Is Landscape Design?

Landscape design is the planning and organisation of outdoor spaces to enhance both beauty and usability. A good landscape design balances:

• Function – how you use the space (e.g., entertaining, relaxing, gardening)
• Form – shapes, layout, symmetry, flow
• Aesthetics – colours, textures, plant choices, focal points
• Sustainability – water-wise planting, native species, soil and drainage considerations

It’s more than planting trees and rolling out turf — it’s about creating a cohesive, practical, and low-maintenance garden that suits your lifestyle and adds value to your home.

Our Landscape Design Process
At Fox Mowing WA, we follow a proven process to ensure your garden looks great — and functions even better.

1. Initial Consultation & Site Visit

We’ll meet with you to understand your goals, budget, and how you want to use the space. We assess:

• Sun/shade patterns
• Soil conditions
• Existing features
• Drainage and access

2. Concept Planning & Layout

We create a landscape concept tailored to your property’s shape and purpose, incorporating:

• Entertaining areas (patios, decks)
• Garden beds and turf areas
• Pathways and access
• Screening, privacy, and wind protection

3. Plant Selection & Garden Styling

We recommend low-maintenance, climate-appropriate plants — including drought-tolerant natives, flowering species, ground covers, and hedging options.

4. Practical Elements & Finishing Touches

We guide you on optional hardscaping and outdoor features such as:

• Mulching, edging, and irrigation
• Raised garden beds
• Decorative stone or gravel areas
• Lawn placement and shape for easy mowing
• Water-wise planting zones

Why Landscape Design Matters

• Improves kerb appeal and property value
• Creates a relaxing, inviting environment
• Reduces water usage with smarter plant selection
• Maximises small or awkward spaces
• Reduces future maintenance hassles
• Supports local biodiversity and native species

A well-designed garden isn’t just easier to maintain — it’s more enjoyable to live in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer design-only or full-service landscaping?
We can provide design-only services or full packages that include installation, planting, lawn care, and more.

Can you work with my existing plants or layout?
Absolutely. We can incorporate healthy plants or improve your existing layout for better function and visual appeal.

How long does the design process take?
Most designs are completed within 1–2 weeks, depending on the complexity and your preferences.

Do you provide ongoing garden maintenance?
Yes! After we design and set up your garden, we can also provide regular maintenance to keep it looking its best.

Plant Selection

Plants can make a huge statement in any garden. They are probably the most important single aspect in a new landscape or garden renovation. Plants can set the mood and style of the garden, draw you into different areas and create interesting views and features.

So it is important to have the right plant selection. To do this you should consider:

• The Size of the Plant. Read up on how tall and wide the plants grow. Planting large plants in unsuitable places can be a costly experience.
• The theme and style of your garden. If your looking to replicate a certain style such as Australian, Balinese, Country, Tropical etc then your plant choice should be a reflection of this.
• The climate and location of the plants. Plants are suited to different environments, light conditions and soils. If the area is in full sun then you will need to choose a plant that can withstand direct sunlight.
• How much maintenance is required. Some plants require more care, maintenance, watering, and general care than others. If you are not prepared to put in all the effort, choose plants that are drought tolerant and of a hardy nature.
• Contrasting colours and textures of plants. Use your plants to give your garden a contrast of light and shade. Plants that have different thickness of leaves, colours or patterns can look great when layered into your garden creating different heights and bursts of colour.

So before you run to the nursery, do some research so that you choose plants that are suited to your area and will survive and thrive.

And, of course, if you want some additional help and advice on planning and designing your garden, then the simplest solution is to let Fox Mowing look after it all for you.
And while we’re there in your garden, we can do a lot of other stuff too to get your garden looking, and feeling, its best.

The Right Plants in the Right Place – Designed for Western Australian Gardens

Choosing the right plants isn’t just about what looks good — it’s about knowing what will thrive, what fits the space, and what supports a sustainable, low-maintenance garden. That’s where expert plant selection comes in.

At Fox Mowing & Gardening WA, we take the guesswork out of gardening. As part of our landscape design services, we help you choose the best plants for your environment, lifestyle, and vision — whether you want a native, tropical, formal, or relaxed outdoor space.

Why Plant Selection Matters

Plant selection is a key part of any successful garden design. The right plants will:

• Flourish in your soil and climate
• Enhance visual appeal year-round
• Reduce watering, pruning, and pest issues
• Support pollinators and local biodiversity
• Match the size, sun/shade, and purpose of each garden area

Choosing the wrong plants, on the other hand, can lead to overgrowth, dead patches, wasted water, and costly replacements.

How We Select Plants for Your Garden
At Fox Mowing WA, we consider a range of factors when selecting plants for your landscape design:

Climate Suitability
Western Australia has unique growing conditions — from coastal winds to sandy or clay soils and long, dry summers. We choose plants that are naturally suited to your local environment, with minimal upkeep.

Garden Functionality
We help select plants based on your lifestyle goals:

• Privacy hedges or screens
• Feature plants or focal points
• Shade or wind protection
• Low-growing borders and ground covers
• Bee- and bird-friendly natives
• Fragrant herbs or flowering beds

Seasonal Interest & Balance

We aim for a garden that offers colour, shape, and texture throughout the year — not just in spring.

Maintenance Level

Love gardening? We’ll include plants that reward you with blooms and produce. Prefer a low-effort approach? We’ll design with hardy, low-maintenance species that thrive with minimal care.

Popular Plant Types We Use in WA Landscape Designs

• Shade trees & screening plants – Ornamental pears, Lilly Pilly, Bottlebrush
• Flowering shrubs – Azaleas, Hibiscus, Gardenias

• Formal hedging & borders – Box, Murraya, Viburnum
• Edibles & herbs – Rosemary, Lavender, Citrus, Bay Leaf

We’ll also work with your preferences — whether you’re after colour, structure, aroma, or wildlife habitat.

Planting for the Long Term

With Fox Mowing & Gardening WA, we don’t just install plants — we ensure they’re placed for growth, balance, and ease of care. Our planting plans consider:

• Spacing and mature size
• Sun and wind exposure

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose my own plants?
Absolutely! We’ll work with your plant preferences and offer suggestions based on what works best for your space and climate.

What if I don’t know what plants I want?
That’s where we come in. We’ll recommend a mix of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that match your garden goals and maintenance level.

Do you use native plants?
Yes, we love incorporating WA natives. They’re drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and great for local birds and pollinators.

Will the plants you recommend survive summer heat?
Yes – we prioritise hardy, sun-tolerant varieties, especially in WA’s hot, dry conditions. We also consider your soil, watering, and shade levels.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are structures that hold or retain soil behind them. There are a wide range of options when choosing a retaining wall for your yard. The retaining wall can be discreet blending into the background, become a great feature of your garden or even provide added seating for your yard.

There are two types of retaining walls:

Gravity Wall. Gravity walls rely on their own strength and weight to hold the soil behind them and are of a shorter height.

Reinforced Walls. Reinforced Walls use layers of Geogrid (a manufactured high strength reinforced grid material) that provide additional stability to the structure to resist the pressure applied by the mass of soil behind it.

Retaining walls can be made from a wide variety of materials including, stones, brick, concrete blocks, treated timber, rocks and boulders. They type and construction of the retaining wall that you need will influence the material that you require. Stone or wood can erode or decompose over time so a hardier material such as concrete or masonry blocks are recommended as they are simple to stack and join together and are a maintenance free retaining wall option.

The retaining wall you build has to be suited to your environment, and the type and construction of it will be determined by its location, surroundings, the slope of the land, the type of soil, and the size and height of the planned retaining wall. So get as much advice as you can and you will be sure to choose a retaining wall that will be practical, look great and last for years & years.

And, of course, if you want some additional help and advice on landscaping, then the simplest solution is to let Fox Mowing look after it all for you.
And while we’re there in your garden, we can do a lot of other stuff too to get your garden looking, and feeling, its best.

Functional and Stylish Solutions to Shape and Support Your Outdoor Space

When it comes to landscaping in Western Australia, retaining walls are more than just practical — they can be a stunning design feature. Retaining walls give structure, strength, and style to any outdoor space, whether you’re managing sloped terrain, defining your landscape, or creating level garden spaces.

At Fox Mowing & Gardening WA, we build durable, attractive retaining walls tailored to your garden’s layout and soil conditions — enhancing both functionality and visual appeal.

What Is a Retaining Wall?

On sloping or uneven terrain, a retaining wall is a sturdy construction designed to keep back earth and produce level, useable areas. These walls prevent erosion, manage drainage, and make sloping yards more functional.

They’re ideal for:

• Creating terraced garden beds
• Supporting soil around patios, paths, or driveways
• Forming boundary walls or raised lawn areas
• Enhancing curb appeal and property value
• Preventing water run-off and soil loss during storms

At Fox Mowing WA, we work with a range of materials to suit your property’s needs and style preferences:

Timber Retaining Walls

• Warm and natural appearance
• Cost-effective for smaller jobs
• Ideal for garden beds or low retaining areas

Concrete Sleeper Walls

• Available in modern colours and textures

Block & Stone Retaining Walls

• High-end visual impact
• Great for curved walls and detailed finishes
• Suits both formal and organic garden styles

Brick Retaining Walls

• Classic appeal for traditional homes
• Great for boundary walls or feature gardens

We help you choose the material that fits your landscape, budget, and maintenance preferences.

Functional Benefits of Retaining Walls

• Erosion Control – Prevents soil loss and stabilises garden beds
• Maximised Space – Turns slopes into flat, usable areas for entertaining or planting
• Improved Drainage – Helps manage stormwater and reduce pooling
• Defined Layout – Separates different garden zones for a more organised look
• Increased Property Value – Adds structure and street appeal to your garden

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need council approval for a retaining wall?

How long does a retaining wall last?
Properly built walls can last decades. We use quality materials and drainage systems to ensure long-term stability.

Can a retaining wall be a feature in my garden?
Absolutely. With the right materials and design, your wall can double as a planter, bench, or focal point.

What’s the best material for my yard?
It depends on your soil, slope, and style. Timber is budget-friendly, concrete sleepers are low-maintenance, and stone or block offers the most visual impact.

Bed Planning

Smart, Beautiful Beds That Work With Your WA Climate and Soil

Planning your garden beds properly is one of the most important steps to a thriving, low-maintenance outdoor space. At Fox Mowing & Gardening, we understand the unique conditions in Western Australia — from the sandy soils of Perth to the more clay-based ground in regional WA. That’s why our bed planning services are tailored to your specific location, property size, and plant preferences.

We’ll help you design and structure your beds to bring out the best in your garden, no matter the season

Why Garden Bed Planning Matters

A well-planned garden bed can mean the difference between plants that thrive and those that struggle. Without the right foundation, even the best plant choices can fall flat. That’s where we come in.

Our experienced team at Fox Mowing WA knows how to:

• Maximise water retention (crucial in WA’s dry spells)
• Improve soil structure with composting and mulching
• Create layered, seasonal beds that stay vibrant all year
• Position beds for proper sun, shade, and drainage
• Recommend native and climate-appropriate plants for lower maintenance

Custom Bed Planning for Western Australian Gardens

We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every garden in WA has its own microclimate, and we plan accordingly. Whether you’re in the cooler parts of the South West, the sun-drenched suburbs of Perth, or the inland regions with tougher soil — we’ve got local knowledge you can rely on.

We plan for:

• Soil type – sandy, loamy, or clay-based
• Sun exposure – to suit full sun, part shade, or full shade plants
• Style preferences – formal, native, edible, cottage, or minimalist
• Functionality – garden beds for beauty, privacy, or produce

What’s Included in Our Bed Planning Services?

Our bed planning package includes:

• Site analysis and consultation
• Soil testing and improvement advice
• Layout planning and plant placement
• Mulching and edging suggestions
• Maintenance planning and seasonal guidance

We can also assist with plant selection, raised beds, irrigation planning, and even installation if needed.

Drainage

Fix Water Problems Before They Wreck Your Garden

Even the most exquisite garden can be ruined by inadequate drainage. In Western Australia, heavy downpours followed by dry spells can wreak havoc if your garden isn’t draining properly. At Fox Mowing & Gardening, we offer tailored drainage solutions that protect your plants, lawns, and property from excess water — keeping your garden healthy and functional all year round.

Why Proper Drainage Matters in WA

Drainage isn’t just about preventing puddles. Without it, your garden beds can rot, your lawn may become patchy and compacted, and hard surfaces can shift or crack. In WA, where soils range from sandy coastal to clay-heavy inland, the right drainage solution depends on local conditions.

Our team at Fox Mowing WA understands these differences and applies expert knowledge to:

• Prevent waterlogging after storms or irrigation
• Redirect water away from your home and structures
• Protect plant roots and improve lawn health
• Reduce erosion and nutrient loss

Signs Your Garden Has Drainage Issues

Not sure if you need help? You might notice:

• Pooled water that lingers after rain
• Soggy patches on the lawn
• Rotting roots or dying plants
• Slippery, muddy walkways
• Foul odours or moss build-up

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to call the Fox team in.

WA-Focused Drainage Solutions

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter fixes. Our local teams across WA assess your soil type, landscape layout, and drainage patterns before recommending the best solution for your garden.

Some of the systems we may suggest include:

• French Drains – to redirect surface and sub-surface water
• Dry Creek Beds – decorative yet functional
• Surface Grading – to slope water away naturally
• Soak Wells & Drainage Pits – popular for Perth homes
• Subsurface Drainage – for deeper or stubborn problem areas
• Channel & Trench Drains – for paved areas and driveways

Our WA-based Fox Mowing experts are fully trained, insured, and experienced in local drainage challenges — whether you’re in Perth, Rockingham, Joondalup, Busselton, or Kalgoorlie.

Call us today or book online to get started with expert garden drainage in Western Australia. We’ll help you protect your space and enjoy a lush, dry, and usable outdoor area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help if my lawn stays wet for days after rain?
Yes, persistent moisture is a sign of drainage issues. We’ll assess and recommend a fix tailored to your lawn’s condition and soil type.

Will a drainage system ruin the look of my garden?
Not at all! Many of our solutions (like dry creek beds or subsoil systems) are designed to blend in or enhance the look of your landscape.

Do you only service metro areas like Perth?
No — we work across much of Western Australia, including regional towns. We’ll put you in contact with the Fox Mowing crew in your area; just get in contact.

Is drainage only needed during rainy seasons?
It’s most obvious then, but drainage affects year-round plant health. Poor drainage can also lead to root rot and mosquito breeding — even in drier months.

Irrigation Planning

Smarter Watering for Healthier Gardens

In Western Australia, water is precious — and your garden knows it too. Whether you live in the coastal suburbs of Perth or the drier inland regions, a well-planned irrigation system can mean the difference between a thriving garden and one that struggles year-round.

At Fox Mowing & Gardening, we offer professional irrigation planning services designed to help your garden stay healthy, efficient, and sustainable — all while saving time and reducing water waste.

Why Irrigation Planning Matters in WA

With water restrictions, sandy soils, and hot dry summers, Western Australian gardens face some tough conditions. Without a well-thought-out irrigation system, lawns dry out, plants wilt, and your water bill soars.

Our local experts at Fox Mowing WA design irrigation plans that:

• Deliver the right amount of water to the right areas
• Reduce overwatering, runoff, and evaporation
• Support native and drought-tolerant plants
• Comply with Water Corporation guidelines and restrictions
• Improve the long-term health of your lawn and garden

Custom Solutions for Every Garden

Ready to upgrade your garden with smart irrigation? Contact Fox Mowing Western Australia today for a consultation and discover how efficient your watering can be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you plan irrigation for established gardens?
Yes! We often work with existing gardens, designing systems that integrate with your current plants and layout.

Are your irrigation systems compliant with WA water restrictions?
Absolutely. We plan with Water Corporation regulations in mind, including sprinkler rosters and seasonal restrictions.

What’s the best irrigation system for sandy soils?
Drip systems are great for sandy soils common in WA, as they deliver water slowly and directly to the root zone, minimising runoff.

Do you offer irrigation installation?
While we primarily focus on planning and design, we can connect you with trusted local professionals for installation or handle it through our broader service network.

Hard Surfaces

Structure, Style & Function for Your Outdoor Space

Great gardens aren’t just about plants — they need strong foundations too. At Fox Mowing & Gardening, we offer hard surface landscaping services across Western Australia to bring structure, functionality, and visual appeal to your outdoor areas.

From tidy pathways to neat garden edging and weather-resistant patios, we help you create a landscape that looks great and lasts through WA’s demanding climate.

What Are Hard Surfaces?

Hard surfaces are the non-living elements of a landscape — materials like stone, pavers, gravel, concrete, and timber. They form the structure of your garden and support everything from accessibility to drainage, making your yard both practical and polished.

Common hard surface features include:

• Garden paths & walkways
• Stepping stones & paving
• Edging for garden beds or lawns
• Patios, sitting areas & BBQ zones
• Driveways & entrances
• Retaining walls and garden borders

Why Hard Surfaces Matter in WA Gardens

Western Australia’s climate can be tough on outdoor spaces. With long dry summers and unpredictable rainfall, hard surfaces help reduce erosion, manage drainage, and support the natural flow of water through your landscape.

Our WA-based teams understand how to:

• Select the right materials for local conditions
• Design with drainage and slope in mind
• Blend hard surfaces into existing landscapes
• Create low-maintenance, functional areas
• Improve access and safety around your property

Custom Hard Surface Solutions for WA Homes

Whether you’re in Perth, Mandurah, Albany, or the South West, Fox Mowing can help you plan, install, and maintain hardscaping that suits your lifestyle and soil type.

Our designs take into account:

• Aesthetic preferences – modern, rustic, natural, or classic
• Soil and drainage – sandy, clay-heavy, or sloped gardens
• Use of space – entertaining, play areas, or access pathways
• Material selection – from recycled sleepers to natural stone

Professional Advice. Reliable Results

We don’t just throw down some pavers and call it a day. At Fox Mowing WA, we carefully plan your hard surface layout to ensure:

• Proper water runoff
• Long-lasting stability
• Visual harmony with your garden beds and plants
• Compliance with any local regulations or building guidelines

And because we’re fully insured and experienced in landscaping across WA, you can trust our work will be durable and well-suited to your environment.

Enhance Your Garden With Strong Foundations

Want a path to your veggie patch? Need a stable patio area for entertaining? Or just want cleaner garden edges for easier mowing? We’ve got you covered.

Talk to the team at Fox Mowing WA today about hard surface landscaping. Whether it’s a simple upgrade or part of a full garden makeover, we’ll help bring structure and style to your outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install or only plan hard surfaces?
We do both! Our team can plan, prepare, and install a wide range of hard surface features, depending on your location and needs.

What materials do you recommend for WA conditions?
For sandy soils, we often use compacted bases with pavers or stone. For heavy clay, drainage is key — so we select permeable or stabilised options.

Can hard surfaces help with drainage?
Absolutely. Properly laid paths and patios can direct water away from buildings and prevent pooling or erosion in your garden.

Do you offer hard surface maintenance or repairs?
Yes. We can help with re-levelling paths, replacing broken pavers, and general tidy-ups of existing hard surfaces.
