Why Coastal Landscaping Is Different
Landscaping on the Northern Beaches requires a specialised approach due to the unique coastal challenges.
These landscape design challenges include salt spray, sandy soils, strong coastal winds and sloped sites. The coastal environment also places stress on plants, materials, and drainage. Many pool landscapers overlook these critical factors, leaving homeowners with plants that don't survive, landscape erosion, and high-maintenance gardens.
At Dapple Landscape Design, we're trusted by homeowners across Dee Why, Avalon, and Curl Curl because of our deep understanding of coastal microclimates.
We carefully select salt-tolerant pool plants and design resilient, functional spaces that thrive in coastal conditions. We are also well-informed about the formal council drainage considerations on the Northern Beaches, so we can ensure your coastal landscaping project is fully compliant with local regulations!
If you're looking for a pool landscaping expert in Manly or the surrounding suburbs, we deliver tailored solutions that balance beauty with durability. This high-quality service sets us apart on Northern Beaches coastal landscaping projects.
Designing a Pool and Garden That Work Together
If you want a beautiful yet functional outdoor space, you can't simply add a pool. You need to carefully plan your pool and garden to work together as one cohesive, functional design!
At Dapple Landscape Design, we specialise in integrated garden and pool landscape design, where every element, from hardscaping and planting to layout and access, is planned in detail so that everything works well together.
This approach ensures a seamless flow among outdoor zones such as lounging areas, dining terraces, and the pool itself. Whether you're entertaining or relaxing, the space will feel comfortable and cohesive.
We have successfully created lush privacy planting around compact plunge pools, using layered greenery that softens fencing and adds a tropical feel. We have also delivered sleek, minimalist poolside spaces featuring architectural planting and clean stone paving, perfect for outdoor entertaining on the Northern Beaches.

Salt-Tolerant Plants Perfect for Northern Beaches Pools
Choosing the right poolside plants in the Northern Beaches is essential if you want a thriving, low-maintenance outdoor space. Coastal conditions, such as salt spray, wind, and sandy soils, require hardy, salt-tolerant landscaping solutions.
Some of the best salt-tolerant plants for Northern Beaches pool landscaping include:
-
Lomandra 'Tanika' for structure
-
Coastal Rosemary (Westringia fruticosa) for hedging and wind protection
-
Agave attenuata for sculptural impact
-
Kangaroo Paw for colour
-
Banksia integrifolia for screening
-
Crassula ovata (Jade Plant) for its hardy texture
These species offer privacy, are salt-tolerant and require minimal watering, perfect for modern and native garden designs in Mona Vale, Newport, Avalon, Palm Beach and surrounding coastal suburbs.
At Dapple Landscape Design, we carefully curate plants that are tailored to suburbs across the Northern Beaches. We factor in wind direction, soil salinity, and sun exposure to choose the right plants for your home.
