Landscaping in Tuggeranong
Retaining walls, garden steps, drainage and frost-hardy gardens for Tuggeranong's sloping blocks, built by a local Canberra crew.
Landscape construction in Tuggeranong
Tuggeranong sits in a valley against the hills, and a lot of its suburbs — Kambah, Wanniassa, Gordon, Banks, Conder — are built on sloping ground. That means retaining walls, steps and drainage come up on almost every job here, whether it's creating a flat lawn for the kids or stopping soil washing down the block every storm.
Being in the south of Canberra and close to the ranges, Tuggeranong gardens cop hard winter frosts as well as hot summers. Plant and turf selection matters more here — the wrong choices burn off in January or blacken in July.
Typical jobs include terracing sloping backyards with retaining walls and steps, fixing drainage where runoff heads towards the house, and rebuilding gardens with hardy, frost-tolerant planting.
