Learn How The Best Designed Backyard & Front Garden Makeovers Adelaide Residents Have Are Achieved.
If you’ve decided to renovate your front garden or backyard, the first step is to come up with a plan so you know if everything you’d like included will fit and how it will look after all the landscaping work has been completed.
When initially thinking about landscaping Adelaide gardens, drawing inspiration from magazines can be a good place to start with a list of things you’d change to suit your location and lifestyle. Don’t get too bogged down with the finer details or colours, that will come later, for now just focus on all the elements you’d like your front or backyard to have and perhaps an overall style or theme.
How often have you said to your partner, Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have… in our backyard?
If this sounds like you, Hand Made Gardens team of landscape designers and local licensed landscapers can turn your dream into reality by giving your garden a makeover you’ll enjoy for decades to come.
Starting with that wish list and a budget, it’s the role of landscape designers to put everything down on paper so you can see what your front or backyard garden renovations will look like once complete.
Typically both softscape plans, which shows what plants are to be planted out and how they will be watered, plus hardscape construction plans that detail all the residential landscaping work such as retaining walls, paving, timber decking, swimming pools, fencing or privacy screens with any other garden features you’d like included etc. are drawn up.
A dream garden makeover starts with a plan!
Knowing what the overall budget is for the project is important to know.
All the components or features have different prices and do vary significantly based on size and the material they’re made with. The price of pavers for example varies dramatically depending on what they’re made from and their size. Plant costs will change depending on their initial size, from small pots to the much larger, more established versions. Retaining walls made using sandstone rocks with the gaps infilled with mortar are more expensive than a retaining wall built using concrete blocks. Garden features can be simple in their design or be large and ornate with lights and water incorporated.
Quite often when looking at the cost of landscaping Adelaide gardens, Martyn from Hand Made Gardens can offer several choices or suggest some changes that can get you your dream garden at a price you’re happy with.
Many garden makeovers Adelaide residents ask for include an outdoor entertaining area. Typically this is a place the whole family and friends can come together and enjoy each others company.
Often it’s in the form of an Alfresco area, perhaps under a verandah protected by the rain that has space enough for a table and chairs to eat at. Outdoor kitchens, bar areas and pizza ovens are also very popular inclusions to outdoor entertaining areas and many garden renovations across Adelaide.
Entertain with family and friends outdoors – undercover in style
Sometimes when planning garden makeovers Adelaide customers wish for an area away from the house, that’s immersed within the garden to come together, with fire pits a commonly requested component.
Fencing off the front yard can add extra and separate private areas to entertain, becoming popular with families that have older children or young adults.

Native garden designs are also extremely popular low maintenance landscaping ideas as people look at spending more time relaxing and less time working on their gardens. Native plants are drought tolerant and can handle the hot dry Summers Adelaide is well known for.
A level area, perhaps with a basketball ring provides a separate, safe place for children or grandchildren to play and burn off some energy while you watch on in tranquil splendour.
One of the biggest advantages of using Hand Made Gardens for garden renovations is the scope of landscaping services offered.
With landscape designers planning and designing the layout of the garden through to all the landscaping construction work completed by licensed landscapers, the whole project and process is handled professionally by the one company, ensuring only the highest quality control.
