Perth has sandy soils that drain fast and a long dry summer. Gardens that ignore both are expensive to keep alive.
Know the rules first
Watering days in Perth are rostered and there is an annual winter sprinkler ban. Check the current requirements with the Water Corporation — they change and the fines are real.
Improve the soil
Sand holds almost no water or nutrient. Compost and a soil wetting agent do more for water efficiency than any change to the sprinkler timer.
Mulch properly
A decent layer of coarse mulch dramatically reduces evaporation and keeps roots cooler. It is the single highest-value job in a Perth garden.
Water deeply, less often
Short daily watering grows shallow roots that cannot cope with heat. Longer, less frequent watering drives roots down.
Plant for the climate
Native and Mediterranean species handle Perth summers with far less input once established.
