Shade, Sun & Water-Stress Risk Map
Plan your garden with confidence. This free tool calculates how sunlight hits your property throughout the day and across seasons. Simply enter your Australian address to see which areas receive full sun, partial shade, or deep shade — plus how your land's slope affects drainage and sun exposure. Perfect for choosing the right plants, positioning veggie patches, or understanding why parts of your lawn struggle.
