How GreenInc is Helping to Shape South Australia’s Green Future

South Australia presents one of the most challenging environments for landscape construction. As the driest state on the driest inhabited continent, with vast arid regions and Adelaide recognised as the nation’s driest capital city, landscapes here must be designed to withstand extreme climate conditions. With an average annual rainfall of just 220 millimetres, which is less than half the national average, large parts of the state are arid or semi-arid, from the Simpson Desert in the north to the rugged outback in the west. 

Additionally, many regions in the state are also prone to soil erosion, making professional landscape construction essential for protecting topsoil, supporting ecological health and ensuring long-term sustainability. 

With limited rainfall, long dry summers, and a growing demand for sustainable, liveable environments, communities across South Australia face the challenge of creating green spaces that are both resilient and welcoming.  

This is where GreenInc makes a difference. Backed by Bedford, GreenInc is more than a commercial landscape construction business, but rather a purpose-driven social enterprise, dedicated to designing sustainable, high-quality landscapes while creating meaningful employment opportunities for people of all abilities. 

South Australia’s extreme climate presents unique challenges for landscaping. Traditional landscaping approaches like imported plants, shallow root systems and inefficient watering methods often fail under the state’s extreme climate.  

At GreenInc, we believe that building better landscapes means leaving a positive impact on the environment, communities and future generations. In South Australia, this requires creating smarter, more sustainable landscapes that are designed not just to endure the climate, but to thrive within it.  

We believe that building better landscapes means creating a lasting positive impact on the environment, communities and future generations. By combining drought-resistant, native plants with state-of-the-art irrigation systems, we deliver landscapes that save water while supporting biodiversity. Our irrigation system ensures every drop is used efficiently, enabling landscapes not just to withstand South Australia’s harsh climate, but to flourish within it. 

From commercial custom landscape construction to community recreation spaces, we are sowing seeds of change to build vibrant, sustainable outdoor areas. By planting more than 6,000 trees and creating over 40 green spaces in a year, GreenInc plays a vital role in enhancing the natural beauty of South Australia while contributing to the health of our planet.

Across Adelaide and beyond, we work with local communities, developers and councils by revitalising public parks, building gardens or greening shared spaces to promote connection, wellbeing and a strong sense of community pride.  

Our team has transformed some of South Australia’s most significant green spaces, delivering landscapes that balance functionality and sustainability.  

Some of the projects have included revitalising urban parks into vibrant community hubs, creating recreational spaces with lawns, garden beds and play areas, all while enhancing civic spaces to support both people and the environment. 

We combine high-quality turf, mulched garden beds and thousands of native and drought-tolerant plantings with advanced irrigation systems, ensuring water efficiency and long-term resilience. Each project is designed to support biodiversity, improve soil health, and create welcoming spaces that foster connection, wellbeing, and sense of belonging.  

We are particularly proud of work that demonstrates strong sustainability principles, from planting native species and installing efficient irrigation to using mulching and other techniques that conserve water and protect the environment.
