Dry summers, clay soil and water-wise planting

Adelaide is one of the driest capital cities, so the best gardens use plants that cope with long dry spells, mulch to hold moisture and efficient irrigation. Heavy clay in many suburbs sets hard in summer and drains slowly in winter, so soil preparation matters. Large or significant trees can be protected in South Australia; check before a landscaper removes any.

Common questions

What plants suit an Adelaide garden?
Mediterranean and Australian native plants suit the dry summers well. Ask the landscaper for species chosen for your soil, sun and watering plan.
What is the difference between landscaping and lawn mowing?
Landscaping changes the layout or features of a garden. Lawn mowing is regular cutting and maintenance; some providers offer both.
Can a landscaper help with a soggy yard?
They can assess grading, surfaces and garden drainage. More involved stormwater connections may require another qualified trade, so describe where the water collects.
