Why Perth Homeowners Are Rethinking Their Garden Maintenance in 2025

June 25, 2025

There’s something uniquely West Australian about a well-kept front garden. Whether it’s the classic verge tree lined with kangaroo paws or a native garden that softens the afternoon sun, Perth homeowners are placing a renewed focus on outdoor presentation — and it’s not just about looks.

At RPSG, we’ve seen a sharp increase in clients asking for fortnightly garden care instead of one-off clean-ups. Why? It’s a mix of rising property inspections, water-wise landscaping trends, and the simple truth that consistent upkeep saves money in the long run.

In this post, we explore:

  • Why neglected gardens are raising red flags for property managers

  • How Perth’s climate is influencing plant choices

  • Why reticulation checks are more important than ever

Pro tip from our team: Schedule a seasonal cutback in late autumn — it reduces summer stress on your lawn and keeps growth under control through winter.
