Passionate about gardening & outdoor spaces
I’m Jonathan, a dedicated Adelaide gardener and outdoor maintenance specialist. I’ve spent over 20 years working with gardens of all sizes, from a simple lawn that needs some TLC, an overgrown yard needing a full clean-up, or preparing gardens for property sale. A well-maintained outdoor space is about appearances but also about creating a space that’s practical, functional, and easy to care for.
Gardening isn’t just a job for me. I genuinely enjoy it. It’s rewarding to take a messy, neglected garden and transform it into a clean, inviting space. Regardless of the garden work, from pruning trees, restoring lawns, and fixing up garden paths to shaping new garden edges, I always aim to leave the garden better than I found it.
A practical approach to gardening
I understand that not everyone has the time or the patience to keep up with their garden. That’s where I come in. My focus is on practical, low-maintenance solutions that keep your outdoor space looking great without constant upkeep.
I believe in:
- Keeping it simple & functional: A garden should be easy to maintain and work for your lifestyle.
- I’ll sort out what needs fixing, whether it’s a worn-out lawn, uneven paving, or untidy hedges.
- Helping you make the most of your outdoor space, whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or selling your property, I’ll ensure your garden is ready for whatever comes next.
I work with clients who need a quick tidy-up, those who want to refresh their garden for an upcoming sale, and people looking for long-term solutions to make their yards more manageable.
I love working with gardens
I enjoy all kinds of outdoor work, but I especially like:
Transforming overgrown gardens: There’s something satisfying about turning a jungle into a well-kept space.
Lawn restoration & edging: A fresh, clean lawn with proper borders and crisp edges makes a huge difference.
Fixing small paving issues: Uneven or broken garden paths? I can help with minor paving work to tidy up those areas.
Pre-sale garden makeovers: I love helping people get their homes ready for sale with an outdoor space that makes a great first impression.
Creating neat & structured garden edges: Continuous concrete garden edging is one of my favourite additions; it’s a small change that completely reshapes a garden.
Why I do this work
Gardening isn’t just about cutting grass or trimming hedges. It’s about helping people enjoy their outdoor spaces. I’ve met homeowners who feel overwhelmed by their gardens, landlords who need fast and reliable maintenance, and families preparing for significant life changes. Whether it’s a fresh start, a house sale, or just making life easier, I love playing a small role in helping people achieve their goals through a well-kept garden.
