Landscaping Adelaide's eastern suburbs since 1981
Martyn Hand has been building Adelaide gardens since 1981, and quotes and builds every job personally with a small handpicked team. Real jobs over the years have taken us through Glen Osmond, Burnside, St Peters, Kensington Gardens, Kensington Park, Unley and St Georges. The eastern suburbs sit right against the Adelaide Hills foothills, and a lot of the blocks through Glen Osmond and Burnside in particular are steeply sloped. That's exactly the terrain retaining walls, steps and staged earthworks are built for, and it's a big part of what we do in this part of Adelaide.

An eastern suburbs project
This Glen Osmond job is a good example of the terrain common through the eastern suburbs: a steep, overgrown slope that needed proper retaining and staged earthworks before the deck itself could go in. See the full case study →
