Native planting in Canberra
Add planting that suits your garden, your preferences and the Canberra region.
Native planting can bring texture, colour and interest to a garden. The right selection depends on the actual space: sun, frost exposure, soil, mature plant size and how the beds will be maintained.
We discuss the look you want and any existing plants you wish to retain. Native does not mean maintenance-free or that every species suits every site. Plant supply, bed preparation, planting and any mulch should be included explicitly in the agreed work.
What's included
- Discuss site and plant preferences
- Prepare and plant agreed garden beds
- Consider mature size and upkeep
What working with us looks like
1. Tell us what you need
Send your address and tell us about the planting areas, your preferred look, sun and frost exposure, and plants you want to keep. Photos are optional. A budget range helps us discuss realistic options.
2. Agree the work first
We discuss the site and practical requirements for native planting. If a closer look is needed, we arrange the next step before confirming the quote. Tasks, materials, access and any waste removal should be clear before work starts.
3. A crew that listens
We agree the timing and access arrangements, listen to your instructions and keep you informed. If the scope needs to change, we discuss it rather than assuming you want extra work.
4. Enjoy your outdoor space
At the end of the agreed work, we talk through any relevant establishment or care needs. New planting and turf still need attention while they settle in; ongoing help can be discussed separately.

Common questions
Do native plants still need watering?
Yes, particularly while establishing. Water needs depend on the plants and site; we can discuss practical care.
Can native plants go into an existing garden?
Often, yes. Send photos and tell us which existing plants you want to keep so we can discuss suitable options.
