Garden for new house
Hello needing help with my new block I’m about to move into the front,sides and back yard. Living in south Tasmania the ground seems like it’s a lot of clay so assuming I will need lots of top soil.
Thinking with front yard two garden beds under the windows not sure what plants I should put in.
rest of it nice green grass and maybe some colour. May need to add in a retaining wall as there is a slope down to my house.
sides of house will try and do a timber pathway with colourful/native garden beds.
In the backyard all around the fence maybe potostriums for privacy and nice green grass in the middle.
Looking for medium/low maintenance.
any suggestions on plants or ANYTHING at all please let me know or send photos of similar ideas would be much appreciated.

Re: landscaping on new block
Nice clean slate to work with there. Pinterest and a sketchbook are your best friends. Go to a local nursery to find out what plants will grow well, or call a landscape designer/ architect and try get some free tips.
Cheers, Roy
