Gardens Transformed
The garden your home deserves
Our Adelaide Garden Makeovers are designed for homeowners who want a complete transformation of an existing garden. Each project is considered, principle-led, and delivered to a clear timeline.
A specialist team handles every stage, from initial design through to final planting. We bring the experience of years of finished gardens, the materials and plants of our trade network, and the careful project management required to deliver without disruption to your household.
Our garden makeovers suit:
- Homeowners ready to bring an established garden up to the standard of the house in front of it.
- Owners preparing a home for sale who want the garden to add to the result, not detract from it.
- Established gardens where the original design has been outgrown and needs a considered reset.
- Homeowners who want a transformed garden without committing to a ground-up landscape build.
We give every project the same attention: clearing what no longer belongs, refining what does, planting with intent, and finishing every detail.
Where full landscape design begins with a blank canvas, a Yardner makeover begins with what is already there. Refined, restored, and brought back into proportion with your home.

Garden Uplift
What are the benefits of uplifting your garden?
- Well-designed landscaping can increase a property’s value by between 10 and 20 percent.
- Landscaping is one of the highest-returning home improvements, with studies suggesting every dollar spent can return up to three dollars in added property value.
- A well-presented garden can increase buyer interest by up to 30 percent when selling, but more importantly it transforms how you experience your home every single day.
- Outdoor living spaces, shade, and greenery have all been linked to improved wellbeing, reduced stress, and a greater sense of connection to your home.
- A beautifully designed garden extends your living space, giving you and your family more room to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors year round.
- First impressions matter whether you are selling or simply welcoming guests, and a well-designed garden sets the tone from the moment someone arrives.

Our garden designs are created with a low maintenance structure in mind, so that you can spend more time enjoying it and less time worrying about maintenance.
Project Highlight
WALKERVILLE
The clients approached Yardner with a neglected yard ahead of selling. Patchy lawn, overgrown beds, and no structure were holding the property back. Yardner introduced premium turf, climate-suited plants, mature trees and clean-lined pathways, creating a low-maintenance space that transformed the property’s presentation instantly. The home sold off market, exceeding expectations by more than $150,000. The vendors credited the garden as a key part of that result.

FAQ's
How much does a garden makeover cost in Adelaide?
Garden makeover costs vary widely depending on the size of the space, the plants and materials chosen, and the scope of work involved. Most Yardner projects start from around $10,000 and can range up to $150,000+ for larger or more complex transformations. There are many variables at play, so we ask about your budget early on, both in our initial enquiry form and during your free design consult, so we can scope the project appropriately and make sure every dollar goes where it counts.
What's included in a Yardner garden makeover?
Every Yardner makeover is tailored to the specific needs of your space and budget. Typical works include a custom design, plant selection, garden clearing, pruning, weeding, fresh planting, and mulching, with rubbish removal arranged where required. We can also coordinate styling touches like pots, lighting, and outdoor furniture, or bring in other trades as needed.
Can I request specific plants or features?
Absolutely. If there are particular plants, colours, or styles you love, whether that’s a native garden, a Mediterranean look, a privacy hedge, or a feature magnolia by the front door, just let us know at your design consult. We’ll work your wishlist into the plan where it suits the space and Adelaide’s climate, and suggest alternatives for anything that’s unlikely to thrive here.
How long does a garden makeover take?
It really depends on the size and scope of the job. Smaller projects might wrap up in a couple of days, while larger transformations can run for several weeks or more. Timelines are discussed up-front, and for bigger projects we can often break the work into phases to suit your schedule or budget. If you’re working to a specific deadline, like an open home or family event, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
How do I get a quote?
Start by submitting an enquiry through our website with some details about your project and budget. From there, we’ll be in touch to arrange a no-obligation consultation where we’ll walk through your space together and put together a tailored plan with clear pricing.
Which Adelaide suburbs do you service?
Yardner primarily services Adelaide’s metropolitan suburbs, however we do travel and consider this on a project by project basis. If you’re outside the metro area, get in touch and we’d love to hear about your project.
Do I need to be home during the makeover?
Not for the on-site work itself, as long as our crew has access to the garden and water. We do recommend being present for the design consult, and it helps to be reachable by phone during key stages in case any quick decisions come up. Many clients prefer to come home to a finished garden, we’re happy to make that happen.
Do you remove green waste and leave the site clean?
Where green waste removal is required, this will be included as part of your proposal. Either way, we always leave your property clean and tidy at the end of every job.
