Overview

The garden your home deserves

Yardner is an Adelaide landscaping and garden design studio. We transform established gardens that have lost their structure into low-maintenance outdoor spaces, designed around your home and Adelaide's climate.

Where a full landscape build starts with a blank canvas, a Yardner makeover begins with what is already there: cleared of what no longer belongs, refined, replanted with intent, and finished to the last detail. Projects run from $10,000 to $150,000+, across Adelaide's eastern suburbs, inner city, and the coast.

  • Garden design and landscaping for established Adelaide homes, built low-maintenance.
  • A specialist crew runs every stage, from design to final planting.
  • A Walkerville pre-sale makeover helped a home sell $150,000+ over expectations.

The Yardner difference

A makeover, not a ground-up build

A full landscape build starts by clearing the block to bare earth. A Yardner makeover does the opposite: we keep what is working, remove what is not, and design the rest around it. That is faster, costs less, and respects the established trees and structure a mature Adelaide garden already has.

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.

The payoff

A garden is the highest-returning improvement most homes have left

10-20%

Well-designed landscaping lifts a property's value by 10 to 20 percent.

Up to $3

Landscaping returns up to $3 for every $1 spent, among the highest-returning of all home improvements.

Up to 30%

A well-presented garden lifts buyer interest by up to 30 percent at sale.

The numbers are the easy part to point at. The real return is the version of your home you get to live in every day.

The garden that sold the house

The owners came to Yardner with a neglected pre-sale yard: patchy lawn, overgrown beds, and no structure holding the property back. We introduced premium turf, climate-suited plants, mature trees, and clean-lined pathways, and built a low-maintenance space that changed the property's presentation instantly.

$150,000+ over expectations

The home sold off-market, and the vendors credited the garden as a key part of that result.

Our approach

Three steps from tired to transformed

01

On-site visit

We visit your property to assess the space, understand your goals, and identify what will make the most visual and practical impact.

02

Tailored makeover plan

We set out a clear plan, whether that is clearing, trimming, planting, or a complete redesign, with scope and timing you approve before we start.

03

Garden transformation

Our crew arrives with everything the job needs. Whether it takes a day or a few weeks, we deliver the finished garden and walk you through how to keep it.

Reviews

What Adelaide homeowners say

Six gardens, six suburbs, one consistent brief: fast, considered, and built to stay easy.

  • I needed my garden spruced up before a family gathering, and Yardner did wonders in no time. They worked quickly, and the space now feels fresh and inviting. Highly recommend them for anyone needing a fast turnaround.

    Rebecca S

    Henley Beach

  • We wanted a garden transformation but didn't want to overspend. Yardner worked with us to prioritise what mattered most, and focused on the areas that made the biggest impact. We couldn't be happier.

    Greg & Claire

    Mitcham

  • We needed the garden sale-ready fast, and Yardner delivered. Professional, efficient, and full of smart suggestions that paid off in the photos and open inspections. Great value.

    James P

    Kensington

  • We had no idea where to start with our jungle of a backyard. The Yardner team worked their magic over a couple of days and completely transformed the space. It looks like a different house now.

    Michelle & Aaron

    Richmond

  • I'd been putting off the garden for months, and Yardner got it done in a single weekend. Pruned, planted, pressure cleaned, they thought of everything. Now I actually want to spend time out there.

    Tania G

    Goodwood

  • Loved that the team worked within my budget and still made a big impact. A thoughtful refresh that made my outdoor area feel new again. Highly recommend for busy people who still want a beautiful garden.

Questions

Common questions, answered

Still deciding? The fastest way to a clear answer is a quick chat about your space and budget.

Call 0405 306 789
How much does a garden makeover cost in Adelaide?

Most Yardner projects start from around $10,000 and run up to $150,000+ for larger or more complex transformations. Cost depends on the size of the space, the plants and materials, and the scope of work. We ask about your budget early, in the enquiry form and again at consultation, so the project is scoped to put every dollar where it counts.

What's included in a Yardner garden makeover?

Every makeover is tailored to 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?

Yes. If there are plants, colours, or styles you love, whether a native garden, a Mediterranean look, a privacy hedge, or a feature magnolia by the front door, tell us at your design consult. We work your wishlist into the plan where it suits the space and Adelaide's climate, and suggest alternatives for anything unlikely to thrive here.

How long does a garden makeover take?

It depends on size and scope. Smaller projects wrap up in a couple of days; larger transformations run for several weeks or more. Timelines are agreed up-front, and we can phase bigger projects to suit your schedule or budget. Working to an open home or event? Tell us and we plan around it.

How do I get a quote?

Request a consultation through the website with some detail about your project and budget. We then arrange a time to walk through the space together and put together a tailored plan with clear pricing.

Which Adelaide suburbs do you service?

Yardner primarily services Adelaide's metropolitan suburbs, and we consider work beyond the metro on a project-by-project basis. Outside the metro area? Get in touch, we'd love to hear about your project.

Do I need to be home during the makeover?

Not for the on-site work, as long as the crew has access to the garden and water. We do recommend being present for the design consult, and reachable by phone during key stages for any quick decisions. Many clients prefer to come home to a finished garden.

Do you remove green waste and leave the site clean?

Where green waste removal is required, it is included in your proposal. Either way, we always leave your property clean and tidy at the end of every job.
