Garden Maintenance Perth

Perth’s Mediterranean climate—hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters—poses special challenges for gardeners. Soil can become sandy and nutrient-poor, while harsh sun and strong winds make water management critical. Understanding these local conditions is key to effective lawn and garden maintenance.

Choosing native or drought-tolerant plants, applying mulch, and using efficient irrigation systems can make a big difference. These practices not only conserve water but also help your garden withstand the changing seasons with minimal stress.

Even the most enthusiastic gardeners make a few missteps. Here are some of the most common ones we see—and how to avoid them:

1. Overwatering or underwatering
   Many Perth gardens suffer from inconsistent watering. Use a drip irrigation system and water early in the morning to reduce evaporation. 
2. Neglecting soil health
   Perth soils often lack organic matter. Regularly add compost and mulch to improve structure and nutrient content. 
3. Improper pruning
   Cutting at the wrong time or too aggressively can stunt growth. Each plant type has its ideal pruning season—if unsure, consult a professional gardening service. 
4. Ignoring pests and weeds early
   Small issues can quickly spread. Inspect your garden regularly, and act promptly with eco-friendly pest solutions. 

Wrong plant placement
Sun-loving plants in the shade—or shade plants in full sun—struggle to thrive. Always consider sunlight and soil before planting.

• Feed your soil: Healthy soil means healthy plants. Use slow-release organic fertilizers.
• Seasonal clean-ups: Trim, tidy, and prepare for each season to keep your garden at its best.
• Mulch regularly: It keeps moisture in and weeds out.
• Aerate your lawn: This helps nutrients and water reach the roots more effectively.
• Plan for the future: Choose sustainable, low-maintenance plants suited to Perth’s conditions.
