Services
Each service can stand alone or form part of a larger garden. SJV scopes the work to the house, the block and the budget, then manages it through to handover.
01
A clear plan before anything is built. Layout, levels, materials and planting are drawn around how you actually use the garden, and around the house that is already there.
You get a scope you can read, stage, or hand to construction. The design is the brief the rest of the project is held to.
Suits Homeowners who want the design resolved before committing to construction, or a staged plan that can be built over more than one season.
02
The complete outdoor build: groundworks, hard surfaces, garden beds, lawn and the finishing detail, coordinated as one project.
Specialist local crews carry out the construction and planting to the brief. SJV manages the project and remains your point of contact from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Suits New outdoor spaces, tired gardens being rebuilt, and homes where design and construction should stay in one scope.
03
Sandstone, limestone and contemporary paving for courtyards, paths and places to sit. Edges, falls and drainage are part of the surface, not an afterthought.
The aim is an outdoor room that belongs to the house: a level to dine on, a path that is obvious at night, a finish that suits the architecture.
Suits Courtyards, side paths and outdoor dining areas that should feel settled, not temporary.
04
Beds, hedges, trees and layered planting chosen for Adelaide conditions: summer heat, the soil on your block, and how much care you want to give them.
Screening for privacy, structure along a boundary, and new beds where a garden has gone thin. Planting is installed to the plan, not assembled on the day.
Suits New beds, privacy hedges, and gardens that need structure without a full rebuild.
05
Water where the garden needs it, and surfaces that can shed what they do not. Irrigation layout, drainage corrections, and lawn or turf installation.
An Adelaide summer is hard on a lawn that was never set up for it. We look at levels, runoff and watering together, then quote the work as one scope.
Suits Uneven lawns, wet corners, and gardens that should stay presentable through summer.
06
Walls, steps and level changes that make a sloping block usable. The work is scoped to the height, the soil and the access on your site, and quoted before construction starts.
Where a wall needs engineering design or council approval, that is identified in the quote and included in the scope before anyone builds.
Suits Sloping frontages, split-level gardens, and blocks that need a level area for lawn or paving.
