Introducing Warm Welcome - our 2026 Royal Adelaide Show Feature Garden.

Designed and constructed by the AHLG team, Warm Welcome is built around a simple idea: a garden should be more than something that looks good. It should be somewhere you genuinely want to spend time.

The design brings together Australian native planting with natural textures and contemporary hardscaping, creating different spaces to gather, entertain, relax and enjoy the outdoors throughout the year.

At the heart of the garden is a crazy pave firepit and gathering area, complemented by a custom heated bench seat, sauna and wellness space, and meandering pathways. The planting features Banksia integrifolia, Correa, Dianella, Grevillea, Eremophila, Kangaroo Paw, Native Daisy and other native groundcovers - bringing colour, texture and habitat into the garden.

“Warm” comes from the fire, heat and sense of comfort throughout the space. “Welcome” is what we wanted the whole garden to feel like, an outdoor space for family, friends and even the four-legged members of the fam.

A huge thank you to our suppliers and partners who helped us bring Warm Welcome to life:

Swainy has been voted our August Hero of the Month by the team!

Recently stepping up into a Pod Leader role, Swainy continues to lead by example with his attention to detail, work ethic and willingness to get the job done.

Hero of the Month comes with a cash prize - but winners can risk it all and spin the wheel for the chance to win more… or end up washing Farmer’s car or sweeping the sheds.

Swainy backed himself.

He spun.

$1,000 cash.

Damn!!

Not a bad day at the office. Well deserved, mate!

Only a few days left until the 2026 Royal Adelaide Show and we’re pumped.

After winning last year’s Best Feature Garden we are back with a larger space and a new, beautiful, super functional, and exciting feature garden. Designed and constructed by our legendary team.

Here’s James with an update on the final touches. We’d love to see you at the show, pop over to the Goyder Pavillion, say gday and see all of the great workmanship on display from various local landscapers and gardeners.

We asked ChatGPT to create imagery illustrating what is happening below the surface before and after a lawn renovation. It’s pretty telling 👉

After winter, lawns can be left with excessive thatch, compacted soil, poor water pe*******on and a weakened root system. A lawn renovation tackles these issues below the surface, creating better conditions for healthy new growth.

Depending on what the lawn needs, a renovation can include scarifying, coring, topdressing and fertilising - removing unwanted material, relieving compaction and helping water, air and nutrients reach the root zone.

The result? Stronger roots, thicker growth and a healthier, more resilient lawn heading into summer.

Check out the before and after of a renovation we did on a Mt Barker job, it shows just how much difference this process makes.

I know what you’re thinking. We’ve just had enough rain to have Noah dusting off the ark, and now we’re talking about irrigation?

Give it three weeks. This is Australia. We’ll be complaining about the heat and wondering why the lawn’s gone brown before we know it.

Now is the perfect time to book your irrigation audit. Here, Brodie gives a great rundown of what’s involved.

It’s more than simply checking whether your irrigation turns on.

A full audit looks at how effectively your system is actually watering your garden, checking each zone for coverage, pressure, leaks, blocked or broken sprinklers, controller settings and areas that may be getting too much or too little water.

From there, we can identify what needs attention and put together a clear plan to get the system running efficiently again.

We’re incredibly excited to be heading back to the Royal Adelaide Show this year. In this vid, the team reflected on their favourite elements from last year’s AHLG designed and constructed garden.

After taking out Best Feature Garden in 2025 with The Better Life, part of the prize was the opportunity to return this year and create an even larger Feature Garden in the Goyder Pavilion.

Last year we worked within a 3m x 6m footprint. This year, we’ve got 6m x 6m to bring to life, and our team has some pretty exciting plans for the extra space.

Expect beautiful hardscaping, flourishing planting, considered lighting and a few special features we’re keeping under wraps for now.

The Royal Adelaide Show is an iconic South Australian event and we’re proud to once again have the opportunity to showcase what our team loves to do - crafting landscapes that make life better.

We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.

BEFORE 👉 AFTER
From a blank canvas to a finished landscape designed for the whole family, our team took care of everything from the complete landscape design, site preparation through to the construction and finishing touches.

Out front, we delivered a rendered retaining wall, Titanium 7mm exposed aggregate driveway and steps, Kikuyu lawn, automated irrigation, steel edging and new planting.

Out back, the transformation included concrete sleeper retaining walls, fencing, Kikuyu lawn, automated irrigation, side gates and a custom Carey Gully sandstone sandpit. But, maybe the most exciting part is the concrete bike track loop for the kids. Amazing!

A functional, family-friendly outdoor area with plenty of room to enjoy for years to come.
