Your Builder Built the House. Deadshort Services Completes the Outside.
The keys are yours, but the yard may still be bare dirt. Missing fencing, gates, lawn and paths can leave a newly built home without the privacy, access and outdoor spaces you need.
Deadshort Services provides new-build landscaping and turnkey outdoor completion across Adelaide for homeowners, investors, property managers and builders. We coordinate the agreed external works after handover, helping turn an unfinished block into a practical, usable property.
Your project may include fencing and gates, artificial grass, paving, paths, garden finishing, irrigation and suitable retaining walls. Selected driveway, decking and pergola works can also be assessed, with in-house electrical and plumbing support where required.
We assess the site, discuss your priorities and define the inclusions before planning the work sequence. Whether you need fencing and access completed first or a broader outdoor package, you have one point of contact through a South Australian owned multi-trade business.
South Australian Owned – More Than 35 Years of Trade Experience – Post-Handover Outdoor Completion – In-House Multi-Trade Support
Has Your New Home Been Handed Over with an Unfinished Yard?
Moving into a new home can mean living with muddy access, exposed boundaries and outdoor areas that are not ready to use. Completing these areas takes planning, particularly where fencing, ground levels, drainage and services affect one another.
Your remaining works may include:
• Boundary fencing and matching gates
• Automatic driveway gates and pedestrian access
• Artificial grass, garden areas and suitable irrigation
• Paths, paving and selected driveway finishing
• Concrete sleeper retaining walls for suitable level changes
• Drainage and stormwater works
• Selected decking, pergolas and outdoor living areas
• Outdoor lighting, power points and suitable external water connections
Deadshort Services helps identify your priorities and coordinate the agreed works in a practical sequence. Access, preparation, underground services and finished levels can be considered before the final surfaces and garden finishes are installed.
Existing fence damage, gate faults or surrounding property repairs can also be assessed as part of the site review.
Turnkey New Build Outdoor Completion Services Adelaide
Deadshort Services coordinates outdoor completion packages around your property, priorities and budget. Each package has an agreed scope, with materials, inclusions and connected trade requirements identified before work begins.
Depending on the site, your package may include:
• Good Neighbour boundary fencing, tubular front fencing or picket fencing and gates
• Pedestrian and side access gates, with suitable driveway automation
• Artificial grass installation, garden edging and selected planting or irrigation works
• Paving, entry paths, side access surfaces and selected driveway finishing
• Suitable concrete sleeper retaining walls
• Drainage and stormwater support
• Selected decking, pergolas and outdoor living finishes
• Outdoor lighting and suitable power provisions
• Garden taps, external water points and related plumbing
Some homes need a straightforward fencing, gate and lawn package. Others require a broader plan involving ground preparation, retaining, services and outdoor living areas. We assess the work required and explain what is included in your quote.
The installation sequence is planned around access and how the works connect. This helps coordinate underground provisions, finished levels and structural work before paving, lawn and garden finishes are completed.
Turnkey Fencing for New Build Homes Adelaide
Fencing helps establish privacy, access and usable yard areas after a new home is handed over. Planning it early allows gate openings, paths, finished ground levels and garden areas to be considered together.
Deadshort Services installs fencing for new Adelaide homes as part of the agreed outdoor completion scope. Good Neighbour fencing can provide screening along side and rear boundaries, while tubular fencing or picket fencing and gates may suit a more open frontage.
Our team assesses the proposed fence line, access, ground conditions and adjoining retaining structures before recommending suitable materials and installation details. Boundary locations and relevant neighbour arrangements should be confirmed before work proceeds.
Through our fencing and gate services, we can coordinate matching pedestrian gates and suitable driveway gate requirements, with the layout planned around later paving, lawn and landscaping works.
Side and Rear Boundary Fencing for Privacy and Security
Completed side and rear fencing provides privacy and separation between neighbouring properties. Fence height, ground clearance and access gates should suit how the yard will be used, including any pet containment requirements.
Deadshort Services plans boundary fencing around side paths, garden areas, finished levels and adjoining retaining structures. Good Neighbour fencing and suitable Colorbond fencing options can provide screening for new Adelaide homes.
For shared boundaries, owners should confirm the proposed work, access and cost arrangements before installation. The SA Government boundaries and fences guide provides information about boundary locations, consent and fencing notices.
Our fencing and gate team can include suitable side access gates in the agreed scope. Where an existing boundary is being retained, we can also assess connected fence repairs and gate repairs.
Front Fencing and Street Appeal for New Homes
Front fencing frames the new home and defines entry points from the street. Its height, materials and proportions should complement the building while allowing practical pedestrian access and suitable driveway visibility.
Deadshort Services assesses frontage options for contemporary homes, traditional-inspired builds and courtyard properties. Designs may include tubular fencing, picket fencing and gates or suitable screening options, selected around appearance, privacy and maintenance preferences.
We plan matching gates, front paths and driveway openings alongside the fence layout. Suitable driveway automation and entry lighting can also be considered before surrounding finishes are completed.
As part of the agreed outdoor package, fencing can be coordinated with paving, garden beds and artificial grass to create a consistent finish from the boundary to the front door.
Driveway Gates and Automatic Gates Adelaide
A driveway gate can complete the frontage and provide controlled vehicle access to a new home. Manual or automatic options should be selected around the opening width, driveway slope, parking layout and available gate travel space.
Deadshort Services assesses suitable sliding and swing gate designs, with matching fence panels and separate pedestrian access where required. Visit our automatic gates Adelaide page for installation and automation options.
Planning gates before driveway and landscaping finishes are completed allows posts, footings, tracks and electrical provisions to be coordinated. Our in-house electrical team can assess suitable power, controls and connected entry lighting requirements.
Where an existing gate is being retained, we can assess whether repairs or structural adjustments are needed before an upgrade. The agreed outdoor scope can also include suitable paving adjustments around the entrance.
Artificial Grass for New Build Homes Adelaide
Artificial grass can turn suitable bare yard areas into a tidy lawn surface without regular mowing. It can suit new-home courtyards, smaller backyards and selected front garden areas where owners prefer reduced lawn maintenance.
Deadshort Services includes suitable artificial grass installation within agreed outdoor completion packages. We assess the intended use, ground levels, drainage and adjoining surfaces before planning the preparation and layout.
Suitable applications may include:
• Compact backyards and courtyard homes
• Selected side-yard and front garden areas
• Investment properties with manageable outdoor finishes
• Areas where establishing natural lawn is difficult
• Lawn zones beside paths and entertaining spaces
Artificial grass still requires cleaning and care, and suitability should account for sun exposure, pets and how the area will be used. Edging, paving and any retaining work should be coordinated with the lawn installation, with suitable drainage requirements considered before the surface is laid.
Garden Finishing and Low-Maintenance Landscaping
A manageable garden starts with a layout that suits how the property will be used. Defined planting areas, suitable edging and practical access can help complete a new yard while keeping ongoing care straightforward.
Deadshort Services assesses selected garden finishing within the agreed outdoor package. This may include garden beds, edging, lawn areas and connections between paths, fencing and entertaining spaces. Planting and watering requirements should reflect the site’s sun exposure, available space and maintenance expectations.
For homeowners, the priority may be a usable backyard and an attractive entrance. For investors, durable surfaces and simple garden areas can provide a practical finish for tenants. Suitable artificial grass and fencing and gates can be considered alongside the garden layout.
Our home services team can also assess connected property repairs and reinstatement where required. Garden work is planned around finished levels, drainage and access so it complements the wider outdoor installation.
Paving and Paved Entry Areas
Paved paths and entry areas provide practical access between the home, gates, driveway and yard. They can make everyday tasks easier, including moving bins, reaching outdoor taps and accessing equipment for maintenance.
Deadshort Services assesses selected paving works within new-build outdoor completion packages. Suitable areas may include pedestrian entrances, side paths, compact courtyards and connections around gates or outdoor living spaces.
We consider intended use, surface selection, base preparation, finished levels and drainage before planning the layout. Gate clearances and access to service points should be coordinated before paving is laid.
For existing surfaces that need alteration or reinstatement, visit our paving repairs Adelaide page. New paving included in the outdoor package can also be planned alongside fencing and gates, artificial grass and suitable stormwater works.
Concrete Sleeper Retaining Walls and Level Changes
Changes in ground level can affect how fencing, paths, gardens and lawn areas are completed around a new home. Suitable retaining work can help create usable spaces and manage transitions between different levels.
Deadshort Services assesses concrete sleeper retaining walls as part of agreed outdoor completion packages. Applications may include:
• Retaining soil beside garden beds and yard areas
• Creating practical level changes around paths
• Improving usable space on suitable sloping sites
• Coordinating adjoining fence supports and boundary finishes
The wall layout needs to account for ground conditions, drainage, nearby structures and any loads from adjoining fencing or surfaces. Engineering, approvals and boundary arrangements should be confirmed where required. Consult PlanSA or your local council for approval guidance.
We plan retaining work alongside suitable drainage requirements before final paving, fencing and artificial grass are completed, helping reduce later disturbance to finished areas.
Drainage and Stormwater Planning for New Outdoor Areas
Water movement should be considered before paving, lawn and garden finishes are installed. Poorly coordinated levels or drainage can contribute to pooling, erosion and damp areas around a newly completed home.
Deadshort Services assesses existing stormwater arrangements and the proposed outdoor layout as part of the agreed scope. Paths, gate entries, retaining walls, garden beds and artificial grass areas may each affect how water moves through the site.
Our in-house plumbing team can assess suitable stormwater and drainage works where required. Existing builder-installed systems, connection points and any relevant design or approval requirements should be confirmed before alterations proceed.
Planning drainage alongside retaining walls, paving and artificial grass helps coordinate finished levels and underground work before the yard is completed.
Irrigation Systems and Garden Watering
Irrigation can make watering garden beds and natural lawn areas more manageable after moving into a new home. The layout should suit the planting, available water supply and different watering needs across the yard.
Deadshort Services assesses selected irrigation works within suitable outdoor completion packages. We consider garden zones, lawn areas, water connections and access for maintenance when defining the agreed scope.
Planning pipe routes and any required provisions beneath paths before paving is laid can reduce later disturbance. Irrigation should also be coordinated with edging, fencing and other underground services.
Our in-house plumbing team can assess suitable water connections and related requirements. Irrigation and drainage can be considered together through our rainwater tank and stormwater services where relevant to the project.
Decking and Outdoor Living Finishes
A deck can create a usable outdoor living area connected to the new home. Its position, size and finished height should suit access from the house, the available yard space and how the area will be used.
Deadshort Services assesses selected decking works within suitable outdoor completion packages. We discuss materials, maintenance preferences, supporting structures and connections with paths, gardens or covered areas before defining the scope.
Any relevant design, engineering and approval requirements should be confirmed before construction. Visit PlanSA or consult your local council for approval guidance.
Our home services team can coordinate suitable decking and connected property works, with outdoor lighting, privacy fencing and artificial grass areas considered as part of the wider yard layout.
Pergolas and Covered Outdoor Areas
A pergola or roofed outdoor area can help define a space for relaxing and entertaining. The structure and roof design determine the shade and weather protection provided, with the layout planned around access from the home and available yard space.
Deadshort Services assesses selected pergola and covered-area works within suitable new-build outdoor packages. We consider the proposed position, materials, supports and connections with decking, paving and garden areas before defining the scope.
Design, engineering and approval requirements should be confirmed where applicable. Consult your local council or PlanSA before construction proceeds.
Our home services team can coordinate suitable structural and finishing works, with in-house support for outdoor lighting, power requirements and stormwater drainage where included in the project.
Outdoor Electrical Works and Lighting
Outdoor lighting and power can make entrances, paths and entertaining areas more practical after handover. Planning electrical provisions before paving and landscaping are completed helps coordinate cable routes, equipment positions and future access.
Deadshort Services provides in-house electrical services alongside suitable outdoor completion works. The agreed scope may include:
• Power and control provisions for automatic gates
• Entry, pathway and garden lighting
• Suitable outdoor power points
• Electrical fittings for pergolas and entertaining areas
• Provisions for planned outdoor equipment
Our licensed electricians assess the existing supply, proposed equipment and installation requirements. Outdoor fittings and their locations are selected to suit exposure and intended use, with electrical works coordinated around the wider fencing, paving and garden plan.
Site Assessment and Outdoor Work Sequencing
A coordinated outdoor project starts with understanding what the builder has completed and what remains. Deadshort Services assesses access, existing services, ground levels, boundaries and the proposed yard layout before defining the work.
Where available, provide your site plans, drainage information and details of any builder-installed provisions. Relevant boundary agreements, approvals and engineering requirements should also be confirmed before the affected work proceeds.
The installation sequence is planned around the site. Preparation, retaining structures and underground provisions may need completion before final paving, lawn and garden finishes. Suitable plumbing, electrical and fencing works can be coordinated within the agreed scope.
Staged Outdoor Completion Options
Your outdoor works may be completed in stages where the layout and installation sequence allow. Essential boundaries and access may be the first priority, with garden finishing or an entertaining area planned for a later stage.
Deadshort Services helps identify which works depend on one another. Underground services, finished levels and retaining requirements should be considered early so later stages minimise disturbance to completed areas.
Each stage should have a defined scope, with any provisions for future works agreed in advance. Our fencing team, electricians and plumbers can assess suitable requirements for the overall plan.

Deadshort Services helps identify which works depend on one another. Underground services, finished levels and retaining requirements should be considered early so later stages minimise disturbance to completed areas.
Each stage should have a defined scope, with any provisions for future works agreed in advance. Our fencing team, electricians and plumbers can assess suitable requirements for the overall plan.The Deadshort Services Turnkey Multi-Trade Advantage

Q – Can you help if my builder has left bare dirt outside?
Yes. Deadshort Services assesses unfinished outdoor areas after handover and discusses suitable works to provide practical access, privacy and usable yard space.

You can enquire about selected works or a broader package. Options may include fencing and gates, artificial grass or suitable retaining and paving works, depending on the site.

Yes. We assess suitable boundary fencing, including Good Neighbour fencing. Gate openings, finished ground levels and adjoining retaining structures are considered when planning the installation.
