A Solid Foundation for Perth’s Varied Ground Conditions
A sloping block, uneven levels between different areas of the garden, or paving that’s shifted or become poorly defined over time, these are common challenges on Perth properties. Add in erosion on an exposed bank, or simply difficult access moving between different parts of the garden, and it’s easy to end up with an outdoor space that needs better structure and more practical connection throughout the garden.
From sandy soils to rocky and clay-based ground, each property brings different considerations. Retaining walls need effective drainage to manage water and soil pressure, while paving requires a well-prepared, compacted base for lasting stability. Getting the levels, drainage and access right matters just as much as the finish, helping your paving and retaining walls work naturally with the rest of your landscape.

Paving & Retaining Walls Built to Last
Tranquil Gardens approaches paving and retaining walls with careful ground preparation and drainage suited to Perth’s varied soil conditions, from sandy soils to rocky and clay-based ground. This includes excavation, compaction and appropriate drainage for retaining walls, along with well-prepared, compacted base under every square metre of paving, matched to how each area will be used.
Whether it’s limestone block retaining, a brick or stone driveway, or a pool surround built to handle constant foot traffic, we factor in the technical detail upfront, so the finished result holds up well into the future.

View review on GoogleWe had several areas professionally landscaped, and the transformation has been fantastic.
The backyard now features a beautiful rockery with a water feature, creating a relaxing and attractive space.
The side area has been paved, and the garden has been levelled, making it safer and more practical for everyday use, including hanging out the washing.
A rustic fire pit has also been added, and the grandkids will love roasting marshmallows there.
The front yard is now neat, tidy, and much more inviting.
Throughout the project, Tom provided excellent suggestions that complemented the space perfectly and blended seamlessly with our rammed earth home.
Tom Michael and Matt thank you for a great job.
View review on GoogleHighly recommend Tom and his team! They completely transformed our challenging sloping front yard into a beautiful native garden. From the initial design through to completion, the communication, workmanship and attention to detail were exceptional. The whole team was professional, reliable and great to work with. We couldn't be happier with the result!
View review on GoogleWe engaged Tom from Tranquil landscaping for a much and long overdue retaining wall repair and recycled brick paving relaying. Tom and his team did a brilliant job with both the wall repairs and relaying of our recycled heritage bricks. Its not every day you also get a history lesson on heritage bricks circa mid 1800 and 1900 hundreds.
This kind of quality trades is rare, and will be using Tom from Tranguil landscapes in the future.
View review on GoogleWe couldn't be happier with the work done by the whole team at Tranquil Gardens Landscaping. From start to finish, the communication with Tom was great and he really listened to what we wanted. Tom worked with us to make sure we were happy with the plants, layout, and overall result. He provided advice on different options to suit our budget, helping us make decisions without compromising on the final outcome.
The whole team was friendly, professional, and incredibly hardworking. Their attention to detail and great ideas along the way helped us create a garden that we absolutely love.
We're so pleased with the result and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping or garden design services. Thanks again Tom and the team for all your hard work!
View review on GoogleI recently had my backyard landscaped by Tom and the team at Tranquil gardens and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, Tom was professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about bringing my vision to life. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered creative suggestions, and designed a space that perfectly balanced our needs for our family.
The quality of workmanship was outstanding as well as their communication. I was kept informed at every stage, and any questions I had were answered promptly and clearly. The project was completed on time and within budget, with no surprises. Even when we kept changing our minds they were happy to get on board and handled it beautifully.
Our backyard has been completely transformed into a space we now love spending time in. I’ve already received so many compliments from friends and family. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping services.
View review on GoogleOur experience with Tom, Principle of Tranquil Gardens has been a good one. Tom and Team did a good job and left the completed job neat and acceptable to us. His quote was not the cheapest but we went with with our gut feeling that Tom will deliver which he did. He came to our rescue in changing a light globe as both my wife were unable to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Best Retaining Wall Material for My Block?
Limestone is the most common and cost-effective option for most Perth blocks, but concrete, precast or post-and-panel walls suit larger height differences or specific engineering requirements. We’ll assess your site, the required height and what’s behind the wall before recommending what’s best.
Do Retaining Walls Need Council Approval or Engineering?
It depends on the height and location, taller walls or those near boundaries often need engineering and council approval. We’ll let you know what’s required for your project before we start and factor any approval timeframes into your overall schedule.
How Do I Choose Between Limestone, Brick, Stone and Concrete Paving?
It usually comes down to look, budget and how the area’s used. Limestone and concrete pavers are cost-effective. Brick and natural stone give a more premium finish. Pool areas need something slip resistant, regardless of style. We’ll talk through the options that suit your property, budget and how the space gets used.
Can You Match New Paving to What's Already There?
Sometimes, depending on the age of the existing paving and the availability of the original product. If an exact match isn’t possible, we’ll suggest options that complement what’s there rather than clash with it, so the new work looks intentional rather than patched in.
Why Does Paving Crack or Sink After a Few Years?
Often it’s a base preparation issue: not enough compaction, poor drainage or ground movement underneath. Perth’s varied soil conditions can also play a part. We consider these factors when preparing the base for each paving project, helping create a stable foundation for a lasting finish.
