If you live anywhere from Mosman to Manly, Seaforth to Freshwater, or Dee Why up to Palm Beach, you know that the Pacific Ocean is both your greatest view and your garden’s toughest critic.
At Lone Pine Landscapes, we believe that a Northern Beaches garden shouldn’t just survive the elements; it should thrive because of them.
The Boutique Hotel Aesthetic Our clients ask for low-maintenance plant species and a contemporary coastal feel that reflects the local area.
- Coastal Rosemary (Westringia): Our go-to for creating soft, organic spheres that handle front-line salt spray with ease.
- Banksia integrifolia: A true local hero. Its leathery leaves and architectural flowers make it a perfect feature tree that improves as it weathers the wind.
- Sculptural Succulents: We often integrate Agave weberi and Dracaena draco (Dragon Tree) for a bold, modern silhouette.
Managing the ‘Microclimate’ A garden in the Bayview Hills faces different challenges than a beachfront block at Whale Beach or Avalon. We use layering to protect delicate species.
By planting hardy buffer zones, such as Dianella caerulea (Blue Flax Lily) and Banksia robur (Swamp Banksia), we create a protected environment for lush plants like Heliconia ‘Hot Rio Nights’.
