2025 Year in Review

As 2025 draws to a close, we are taking a moment to reflect on a year defined by growth, purpose and meaningful impact. Every project this year became a chance to enrich communities, restore environments and open doors to employment for people of all abilities. The numbers tell part of the story, but the heart behind them brings the real meaning to life. 

Throughout 2025, the GreenInc team planted 3,757 advanced trees across a wide range of sites in South Australia. Each tree represents more than a line in a report. It represents a future canopy that will shade families, support biodiversity, cool neighbourhoods and help create healthier and more sustainable communities. The team takes pride in planting trees that will stand and have an impact for generations. 

This year we also created four new playgrounds that are now enjoyed by children, families and local communities. These are not just places to play. They are places where memories are made, friendships are formed and communities come together outdoors. Each playground reflects careful construction and a commitment to creating safe and welcoming public spaces that bring joy and connection to people of all ages. 

In addition to these major installations, the GreenInc crew was busy establishing new landscapes across both urban and natural environments. We installed 54,824 tube stock plants and 56,736 pots that now form the foundations of thriving garden beds, wetlands, parklands and community spaces. Tube stock planting requires precision and patience, and the team approached each job with skill and enthusiasm. Check out the team’s work on the Southern Expressway at Majors Road, which demonstrates this. These plantings are already taking shape and will continue to flourish well into the future. 

One of the most significant achievements of 2025 was the construction of seven new wetlands. Wetlands are vital ecosystems that support wildlife, filter stormwater, improve water quality and create spaces where communities can connect with nature. The GreenInc team approached each wetland with care and respect for the environment, ensuring that every detail contributed to long term ecological health. These wetlands will provide lasting benefits for local waterways and natural habitats. Check out an example of this in Mount Barker here. 

Altogether, Greeninc delivered 44 new green spaces across the year. These projects varied in size and complexity, but each one carried the same purpose. Every space delivered by GreenInc aims to create a better environment and a stronger community while also supporting employment pathways for people of all abilities. Our mission is to move the earth to make a difference, and the team remains deeply committed to this and is proud of what has been achieved. 

This year also brought important recognition for the quality of our work. The team received two 2025 Master Landscapers of SA Awards of Excellence for the Flinders Chase Visitor Information Centre and Paech Basin projects. These prestigious awards celebrate excellence in landscape construction and confirm GreenInc’s position as a leader in the industry. The projects showcased intricate craftsmanship, collaboration with clients and a clear commitment to delivering outstanding results. 

Behind every achievement is the GreenInc team, an all-abilities group of talented, hardworking and passionate people who believe in creating real change. These team members include Josh, Ebony, Reece, and Tom. We encourage you to listen to their stories and witness their passion firsthand. Their dedication is the reason GreenInc continues to grow in impact and reputation. Each person in our team plays a vital role in bringing these landscapes to life, and their efforts throughout 2025 have been nothing short of inspiring. 

General Manager Jason O’Donohue shares his gratitude for everyone who contributed to this successful year, including clients, partners and supporters. Jason has a deep appreciation for the team, whose skill and commitment drive the social enterprise forward. Their combined efforts make it possible for GreenInc to deliver projects that benefit both the environment and the community. 

We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. The team looks forward to continuing our mission in 2026 with trademark dedication to exceptional environmental and social purpose. With every tree planted, every space delivered and every opportunity created, GreenInc continues to build a future that is greener, more inclusive and full of possibility.
