Creating Beautiful Landscapes in Canning Vale
Canning Vale is hot, sandy, and full of gardens that all look the same. We design native gardens that stand out and improve your property!. After all, who wants to have the same garden as your next-door neighbour? A great garden starts with improving the soil, choosing plants that suit the area, and using irrigation properly. A well-designed native garden here adds real value.
With its coarse sand and strong sun, Canning Vale needs more than just generic planting. We focus on softscaping that’s practical and lasting—with composted soil, efficient irrigation, and native planting that doesn’t struggle through summer. Whether the goal is to replace something tired or build from scratch, we help create gardens that are easier to manage and feel well put together.
For your Canning Vale home, we specialise in building beautiful new native gardens or giving outdated ones a proper revamp. From soil prep and layout to healthy native plants and retic that works—we build it the right way. We use gravel, lawn (where appropriate), and natural edging to keep things structured and low maintenance. Our focus is always on delivering outdoor spaces that add both function and long-term value.
Many people think it’s hard to make a native garden look nice, but nothing could be further from the truth. A well-designed native garden can be stunning and attract birds and wildlife.
We specialise in high-quality, unique native gardens, using natural materials such as native plants, wood, rocks, and stones to create beautiful, sustainable landscapes for you to enjoy.

However, one of the biggest factors in lawn health is correct maintenance. Incorrect mowing techniques and poor upkeep are the biggest reasons why lawns struggle. Not only do we install beautiful, thriving lawns, but we also give you expert tips on how to maintain them properly.
A properly installed system means better water efficiency, fewer breakdowns, and less maintenance down the track. We design and install high-quality reticulation systems tailored to your property’s layout—whether you’re working with bore or mains water.

Most of Canning Vale sits on deep Bassendean sands with extremely low nutrient and water-holding capacity, so rain and irrigation often percolate beyond the root zone and the surface layer can go hydrophobic in summer. In a few low-lying hollows you’ll find residual clay-loam that holds water through winter before baking hard and cracking in the heat.
We remediate Canning Vale soils by blending generous amounts of compost and premium loam to lift organic matter and moisture retention, using soil wetters to overcome hydrophobic patches, and adding gypsum or tailored conditioners only where clay-rich pockets exist. Our irrigation layout is zoned to suit the free-draining sands and the slower-draining hollows, ensuring even coverage without runoff or waterlogging, then we mulch deeply to lock in that moisture and feed the soil naturally.
By improving the soil profile rather than planting-and-running, we give your Canning Vale garden the strong foundation it needs to establish quickly and flourish through wet winters and scorching summers alike.
At Retic Renovation, we care. We genuinely care about our customers and creating thriving gardens that transform homes into spaces you love spending time in.
We believe a well-designed garden should improve your quality of life—not just look good for a few weeks. That’s why we use only quality materials and parts, void shortcuts and quick fixes, focus on doing the job properly the first time, and pay attention to the unseen foundations—like the soil prep, the irrigation setup, and the structure beneath the surface.
We’re extremely thorough with every stage of the job, from soil to sprinkler to finishing touches.
We’re probably not the right fit if:
If you value lasting results, care, and craftsmanship—let’s chat.
Most professional designers charge at least a few thousand dollars for a plan, with costs increasing based on complexity, detail, and whether the design is 2D, 3D, or a full master plan.
Prices vary significantly from one designer or company to another.
But you’re not just paying for a plan—you’re paying for professional planning to ensure the entire job is well-executed and long-lasting.
A plan is crucial to managing expectations:
A design also helps you visualise your garden, get excited, and make changes before work begins.
There’s nothing worse than saying after the job’s done: “I wish we’d thought of this earlier.”
It really depends on the size and complexity of the project.
Some jobs may take just a few days, while larger, more detailed softscaping projects—involving garden bed construction, advanced planting, or multi-stage designs—can take weeks or even months.
Timelines are influenced by:
The most important thing is: don’t rush the process. Good landscaping takes time, care, and planning. Trying to speed things up can lead to mistakes or a finish that doesn’t hold up long term.
A well-executed garden is worth the wait.
If the project is small or simple, you might get by without one. But for anything more detailed including and especially if planning a beautiful garden, a proper design is absolutely worth it.
A well-thought-out plan helps you:
It also ensures that you and the contractor are on the same page before anything begins. This saves time, reduces confusion, and leads to a better finished result.
If you’re investing good money into your landscaping, it makes sense to plan it properly.
Landscaping is the process of designing, creating, or modifying outdoor spaces to improve their appearance and functionality. This can include planting gardens, installing lawns, building paths or retaining walls, and setting up irrigation systems.
A landscaper plans and builds outdoor spaces. This can involve tasks like laying turf, planting trees and shrubs, constructing garden beds, installing irrigation systems, and handling site preparation such as soil improvement and drainage.
You can usually landscape over an easement, but you must be careful. Permanent structures like walls or large trees typically aren’t allowed, as access may be required by utility providers. Always check with your local council or land authority before doing any work.
