What plants work best on the Gold Coast?

The Gold Coast's subtropical climate supports a wide range of plants. Tropical species like Heliconias, Bird of Paradise, and Frangipani thrive here. Native options like Lomandra, Dianella, and Grevillea are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. We select based on your specific site conditions.

How much does turf installation cost?

Turf supply and installation typically costs $15–$25 per square metre on the Gold Coast, depending on the variety and site preparation needed. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your site.

Do you install irrigation systems?

Yes. We design and install irrigation systems tailored to your garden's needs. Automated drip and spray systems ensure your plants get the right amount of water without waste.

A garden is the one part of your outdoor space that changes with time. Choose the right plants for the Gold Coast climate and they'll look better every year. Choose the wrong ones and you'll be replacing them every season.

We select species based on your specific site conditions - sun exposure, soil type, drainage, and how much maintenance you're willing to do. The result is a garden that's designed to thrive, not just survive.

Whether it's a full tropical planting scheme, a simple turf installation, or feature garden beds to complement a hardscaping project, we approach every planting job with the same attention to detail. The plants are sourced from quality nurseries, installed properly, and given the best start.

The Lux Difference

Why choose Lux for this work.

Climate-matched species

Sub-tropical natives, salt-tolerant feature plants, low-maintenance ground covers — selected for your block's exposure and soil, not the nursery's surplus.

Soil prep done properly

Before any plant goes in, the bed gets the right amendment, drainage, and mulch depth. Plant survival rate over five years comes from what's under the soil.
