How long does a landscaping project take?

Smaller front-yard transformations can be completed in days. Full design-and-build projects typically run a few weeks depending on scope, weather and material lead times. Your quote includes a clear timeline, and you'll have one point of contact keeping you updated the whole way through.

Do you handle the design as well as the build?

Yes — that's the whole point of the process. Landscape design, visualisation, construction and planting are handled by one team, so nothing gets lost between a designer's drawing and a contractor's interpretation. What you approve on paper is what gets built in your garden.

Do you only take on full transformations?

Not at all. We handle everything from lawn mowing and garden maintenance through to complete landscape design and installation across Adelaide. Plenty of our biggest transformations started as a seasonal tidy-up that grew from there.

Which areas of Adelaide do you service?

All of metropolitan Adelaide and surrounds — from the coast to the foothills. If you're outside the metro area, ask anyway; we'll give you a straight answer about whether we can help.

Are these before and after photos real?

Yes. Every photo on this page is a real Nomadic Home & Garden project in Adelaide — no stock imagery, no AI renders. Every block is different, but the process that produced these results is exactly the one we'll bring to yours.

Stage 1 / 6

Strip it back. Clear what's failing so the block can be read properly.

(02)The standard

A garden is not decoration. It is the difference between a house you live in and a place you love coming home to. That is why we obsess over the drainage you will never see, the soil you will never think about, and the details you will notice every single day.

Fixed quotes, upfront

No vague estimates. You approve a written number before we start, and it's the number you pay.

One team, start to finish

Design through to final planting handled by the same crew — no juggling trades, no lost details.

Built for Adelaide

Materials and planting chosen for hot, dry summers and clay-heavy soils — not picked from a catalogue.

Drainage-first construction

The invisible groundwork done properly, so the visible landscaping still looks right in five years.

Tidy sites, every day

We clean up after ourselves like it's part of the job — because it is.

Aftercare that doesn't vanish

Clear care guidance at handover, and ongoing garden maintenance if you'd rather we keep it perfect.

(03)How the after happens

Four stages. One team. No surprises.

Every landscape design and installation project we take on across Adelaide follows the same four-stage process — the one behind every before and after on this page.

Stage 01

Consultation & brief

Every garden transformation starts with a walk around your property. We listen to how you actually want to use the space — entertaining, kids, low maintenance — then assess the levels, drainage, soil and light that will shape every decision after. You get straight answers about what's possible on your block and your budget.

Site walk-throughLevels & drainageHonest scoping

Stage 02

Design & visualisation

Concepts, materials and planting come together into a landscape design you can see before a shovel hits the ground. 2D plans, 3D visualisation where it helps, and selections matched to Adelaide's climate — so the garden you approve is the garden you get.

Stage 03

The build

One crew, project-managed from start to finish. Earthworks, retaining, paving, irrigation, turf — the unglamorous groundwork that decides whether a landscape still looks good in five years. One point of contact the whole way, and a site left tidy at the end of every day.

Stage 04

Planting & the reveal

Planting day is when a site becomes a garden. Every plant is placed for the light and soil it needs, beds are mulched deep, irrigation is dialled in, and we walk you through exactly how to care for it all. Then we hand it over — and we're still around for the seasons that follow.

(05)Questions, answered straight

Before you ask — asked.

The questions every Adelaide homeowner asks before a garden transformation — answered without the sales pitch. Anything else, just call.

Every project is priced according to its scope, materials, site access and complexity, so there is no single figure that applies to every garden transformation. A front-yard refresh will sit in a very different price range from a complete backyard rebuild involving paving, retaining walls, irrigation and planting. We offer free standard quotes for suitable projects, with the scope and overall price clearly outlined. Fully itemised quotations are available as part of our paid quoting service. For an accurate price for your property, request a quote and our team will guide you through the most suitable option.
