Landscaping Adelaide
Premium landscaping for established Adelaide homes, planned around the garden you already have and built to look right for years, not just for the first season.
Yardner is an Adelaide landscaping company that designs and builds complete gardens for established homes, with every stage handled in-house: design, planting, edging, lawn, and structure. You work with one team from the first sketch to the last plant, so the finished garden is considered as a whole rather than stitched together from separate trades.
Most Adelaide gardens do not need to be torn out and started again. They need a clear plan, the right plants in the right places, and clean lines that hold their shape. A Yardner project begins with the garden already there. We refine what is worth keeping, replace what is not, and shape the rest into something that suits how you actually live and looks settled from the day we finish.
With 1,698+ trees and plants in the ground and 268+ Adelaide garden makeovers completed, we have a grounded sense of what thrives in this climate and these soils. Projects run from $10,000 to $150,000+, and every one is built low-maintenance so the garden stays sharp without taking over your weekends.
What landscaping with Yardner includes
A Yardner landscaping project covers the full garden as one design: layout and planting, clean edging and defined garden beds, lawn or artificial grass, screening for privacy, and the structural elements that give a garden its shape. Because every part is delivered in-house, the planting, the hard lines, and the lawn are all planned together rather than handed between trades who never speak.
We source plants ourselves and choose them for Adelaide conditions and for how the garden should read in 3 years, not just on handover day. Spacing, height, and seasonal interest are decided up front, so the garden fills in the way it was drawn.
The result is a garden that feels complete: a clear structure you can see, soft planting that softens it, and a finish that holds together through summer heat and winter wet.
Built low-maintenance, on purpose
Low-maintenance is a design decision, not a coat of mulch at the end. We plan it in from the start, with hardy plant choices suited to Adelaide, sensible spacing so beds do not overcrowd, defined edges that keep lawn and garden apart, and irrigation where it earns its place.
The aim is a garden that looks deliberate and cared for without demanding a full weekend every fortnight. You should be able to keep it sharp with light, occasional attention, or hand it to us for ongoing maintenance and not think about it at all.
For many Adelaide homeowners this is the real value: a garden that looks considered year-round and gives the time back, rather than one that looks good for a month and then runs away from you.
Who Yardner landscaping suits
This suits homeowners with an established Adelaide property who want the garden brought up to the standard of the house: tired beds replaced, lines redefined, planting and lawn made to feel intentional and whole.
It suits people who would rather work with one team across the whole project than coordinate a designer, a planting crew, and a lawn contractor themselves, and who care about how the garden looks in 3 years, not just at handover.
It also suits owners preparing to sell who want the garden working in their favour at inspection. Well-presented gardens can lift buyer interest by up to 30% at sale, and a strong garden is one of the first things a buyer reads from the kerb.
The considered process
It starts with a consultation. We walk the garden with you, understand how you want to use the space and what you want it to feel like, and take an honest read of what is worth keeping and what is holding the garden back.
From there we design the garden as a whole and set out the plan, the plant choices, and a clear scope so you know what you are getting and where the budget goes before any work begins. Nothing starts until the plan is settled and you are comfortable with it.
Then one team builds it, stage by stage: structure and edging, planting, lawn, and the finishing detail. You deal with us throughout, and we can carry on with ongoing maintenance once the garden is in so it holds the standard we set.
Why a considered garden lifts a home
A garden is the first thing anyone sees and the setting for the house behind it. When it is clearly considered, the whole property reads as cared for, which is exactly the impression that holds value over time and at sale.
The numbers back it up. Well-designed landscaping can lift property value by 10-20%, and landscaping can return up to $3 for every $1 spent, which makes a considered garden one of the better-returning improvements you can make to a home.
Beyond resale, it is where the everyday happens: morning coffee, weekends, having people over. A garden built with intent earns its keep long before you ever think about selling, and reviews from homeowners across Henley Beach, Mitcham, Kensington, Richmond, Goodwood, and Glenelg East reflect that.
What a Yardner landscaping project includes
Common questions
What areas of Adelaide does Yardner cover?
We work across Adelaide metro, with most of our gardens in the eastern suburbs, the inner city, and along the coast. We take on projects beyond the metro area case by case, depending on the scope and the site. If you are nearby and not sure whether you fall inside our usual range, request a consultation and we will let you know straight away whether it is a fit.
How much does a landscaping project cost?
Yardner projects run from $10,000 to $150,000+, depending on the size of the garden, how much structure is involved, and the planting and finishes you choose. We set out a clear scope and budget before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are getting and where the money goes. The consultation is where we get a real sense of your garden and what an honest figure looks like for it.
Do you only build brand new gardens from scratch?
No. A Yardner project starts with the garden you already have. Rather than clearing everything and starting from a blank canvas, we refine what is worth keeping, replace what is not, and reshape the rest into a complete, considered garden. Established Adelaide homes are exactly what we are built for, and working with the bones already there often gives a more settled result than starting over.
Will the garden be hard to maintain?
No, low-maintenance is designed in from the start. We choose hardy plants suited to Adelaide, space beds sensibly, define edges clearly, and add irrigation where it helps, so the garden holds its shape with light, occasional care. If you would rather not think about upkeep at all, we offer ongoing garden maintenance and can keep it to the standard we set on handover.
How do I get started?
Start by requesting a consultation through the form, or call us on 0405 306 789. We walk the garden with you, talk through how you want to use it and what you want it to feel like, and give an honest read on what is worth keeping. From there we design the garden as a whole and set out a clear plan and scope, and nothing begins until you are comfortable with it.
