What is different about turf & landscaping in Albury-Wodonga
Albury-Wodonga sits in a valley on the Murray with hot summers, cold frosty winters and reasonable rainfall for an inland city, which gives landscapers more to work with than in drier regional centres. Established gardens are a feature of older suburbs such as East Albury and central Wodonga, while new estates at Thurgoona, Leneva and Baranduda are being landscaped from bare clay. The soils vary from river loam near the Murray to heavy clay on the slopes.

Climate extremes
Frost-hardy and heat-tolerant plant selection is essential, and irrigation is needed to establish anything through summer.
Soil variation
River loam is easy to work; clay slopes need drainage and soil improvement, and new estates often start from compacted subsoil.
Seasonal window
Autumn is the best planting time; summer construction is fine but establishing plants then is water-intensive.
