Websites for landscapers in Adelaide

Summers are hot and dry, winters are cool and wet, and the hot northerly winds of a heatwave day are part of local life. Government, defence industry, health, education, wine and food all provide work, and the city has a long tradition of small family firms.

Gardens near Adelaide deal with salt wind and sandy soil, so say which plants and materials you pick for the coast and show a garden that has weathered it for a few seasons. New estates around Adelaide deliver bare blocks with a patch of dirt, so a page on first gardens, covering turf, fencing, paving and planting for a new house, speaks to owners starting from nothing. In a place the size of Adelaide, a landscaper's work is visible all over town, so show a few finished gardens with their suburbs and let the neighbours verify them. Older houses around Adelaide often sit on established blocks with mature trees, sloping yards and original paths, so show work that fits an older home and says how you keep what is worth keeping.

Name the places you really work, the way people type them: Seaford, Henley Beach and Glenelg, not just Adelaide.

Everything a site for landscapers needs

Whether a landscaper in South Australia needs a licence depends on the work and the size of the job, so check with Consumer and Business Services. If your work as a landscaper is covered, building work advertising carries the name and the licence number.

Only call a garden low maintenance or water-wise if the plants and the irrigation really are, since Australian Consumer Law covers claims about what you deliver.
