Adelaide's #1 garden makeover experts, working to every budget, requirement and timeframe
A beautiful garden doesn’t require months of work.
Our Adelaide Garden Makeovers are designed for people who want fast, visible results without overhauling their entire outdoor space.
We bring in a capable crew and handle the heavy lifting, and in just one weekend, we can breathe new life into your garden, improving street appeal, creating inviting outdoor areas, and giving you a garden you can enjoy again.
Our Garden Makeovers are ideal for:
- Homeowners who want a fast transformation.
- Busy people who don’t have time for ongoing gardening.
- Properties going up for rent, inspection, or sale.
- Spaces that just need a boost, not a full redesign.
We focus on maximum impact – clearing, trimming, planting and tidying – without the need for a large investment.
It’s the perfect solution when you want real results without the scale or price tag of full landscaping.

Request a call-back and we’ll get in touch with you to get things started!
After we get some information about your needs, ideas, time frame and budget, we’ll arrange a free, in-person design consult.
Our consults are relaxed, collaborative sessions, not a sales pitch. Think of them as an opportunity to explore ideas, ask questions, and get expert input on bringing your outdoor vision to life.
We’re happy to meet at your home, walk through the space, and leave you with suggestions and options to consider in your own time – no pressure, just possibilities.

We stand by our workmanship and operate with professionalism and integrity in every interaction. It’s not just about getting the job done, it’s about doing it right, with attention to detail and results that speak for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a garden makeover and full landscaping?
A garden makeover refreshes the garden you already have — clearing, pruning, planting, tidying, and styling — to deliver maximum visual impact in days rather than weeks. Full landscaping involves redesigning and rebuilding the space from the ground up, including hardscaping like paving, retaining walls, and irrigation.
Makeovers are faster, more affordable, and ideal for tired or overgrown gardens that don’t need a complete overhaul. Yardner specialises in makeovers, so you get a beautiful result without the timeline or price tag of a full landscape build.
How much does a garden makeover cost in Adelaide?
Cost varies and is dependent on the specifics of each job. Most Yardner garden makeovers in Adelaide will cost between $5,000 and $20,000, depending on the size of the space, the plants and materials chosen, and any additional works like pressure cleaning or rubbish removal. We tailor every quote to your budget and goals after a free, in-person design consult — so you only pay for what will make the biggest visible impact. There’s no obligation, and no pressure to upgrade.
What's included in a Yardner garden makeover?
Each makeover is tailored to your space and budget, but typically includes: a custom design; plant selection; garden clearing; pruning and trimming; weeding; fresh planting; mulching; pressure cleaning; and rubbish removal. We can also coordinate styling touches like pots, plants, lighting features and outdoor furniture, or arrange other trades where needed.
Everything is agreed up-front in a simple plan, so you know exactly what’s being done and what it costs before we start. The aim is maximum visible impact with minimum disruption to you.
Can I request specific plants or features for my garden?
Absolutely. Every Yardner makeover is tailored to your preferences, so if there are particular plants, colours, or features you’d love to include — whether it’s a magnolia by the front door, a hedge for privacy, a feature pot, or a specific style like native, Mediterranean, or low-maintenance — just let us know during your design consult. We’ll work your wishlist into the plan where it suits the space and Adelaide’s climate, and suggest alternatives if something isn’t likely to thrive. The goal is a garden that reflects what you actually want, not a one-size-fits-all template.
How long does a garden makeover take?
Most Yardner garden makeovers are completed in a single weekend or two to three days on site. Larger or more involved projects might take one to two weeks, particularly if other trades are coordinated alongside. We agree the timeline with you up-front during the design consult, and our crew arrives prepared with everything needed to get the work done efficiently. If you’re working to a deadline, such as a property inspection, open home, or family event, let us know and we’ll plan accordingly.
Which Adelaide suburbs do you service?
Yardner services the greater Adelaide metropolitan area, including the inner east, inner south, western suburbs, beachside areas, and the Adelaide Hills. Recent projects have been completed in suburbs like Walkerville, Magill, Unley, Mitcham, Glenelg, Henley Beach, Kensington, Goodwood, and Mawson Lakes. If you’re outside the standard service area, get in touch — we can often still help, sometimes with a small travel adjustment.
Do I need to be home during the makeover?
You don’t need to be home 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 initial design consult so we can walk through the space together and understand your goals, and ideally available by phone during key stages of the project in case any quick decisions are needed. Many of our clients prefer to come home to a finished garden, which is something we’re more than happy to arrange.
Do you remove green waste and leave the site clean?
Yes — green waste removal and a clean site at the end of the job are standard with every Yardner makeover. Our team prunes, clears, plants, and tidies, then takes all garden waste, packaging, and offcuts away with us. You won’t be left with piles of branches on the verge or bags to deal with yourself. By the time we leave, your garden is photo-ready and the rest of your property is exactly as we found it.
Do you offer maintenance after the makeover, and what happens if I'm not happy with the result?
Yes — we can arrange ongoing maintenance to keep your garden looking its best year-round, either as scheduled visits or one-off seasonal tidy-ups. And if anything about the finished result doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ll work with you to put it right. Quality and accountability are central to how we operate, which is why we back every job with our Satisfaction Pledge — so you can book with confidence.
