A mix of sandstone boulders and Australian native plants creates a beautiful and functional solution for retaining a steep slope in this coastal front yard. The natural stone adds structure and durability, while the layered native planting softens the landscape and enhances the coastal character. This creative retaining design not only stabilises the slope but also delivers a low-maintenance, visually striking garden that blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
