Timeframes depend on how much planning we do together and on booking trades, materials and deliveries. Once design selections are locked in and orders are placed, we schedule the build and keep you updated on start dates and milestones. For typical timelines and milestones contact us.

Is irrigation necessary for Adelaide gardens?

Yes — Adelaide’s hot, dry summers make efficient irrigation essential. We include a professional irrigation system in every project and we work with Waterpro for quality components and commissioning. Learn more about efficient watering on our services page.

How do you prepare the soil for a new garden in Adelaide?

We assess soil and drainage, then improve the profile for long-term plant health: loosen compaction, blend organic matter/compost, add gypsum for heavy clays where needed, correct pH, shape levels for stormwater, import quality topsoil/underlay, cultivate to depth, apply wetting agents, and finish with mulch.

Do I need council approval for landscaping or retaining walls in Adelaide?

Many garden works don’t need approval, but retaining walls, structures and drainage changes can require council consent and engineering. We’ll advise what’s needed for your site and can coordinate approvals and compliance for you.
