What we do

From first sketch to final sweep.

Whether it's a full backyard transformation or a tidy-up before you sell, we handle every stage with care, so you deal with one person from start to finish.

Garden design

Great gardens start with a plan: how you use the space, where the sun falls and how water moves.

  • Concept plans
  • Planting schedules
  • Outdoor living areas
  • Courtyards
  • Front yard makeovers

Excavation & site preparation

Everything built on top is only as good as what is underneath. We cut, level and prepare, and get the drainage right first.

  • Levelling & grading
  • Mini-excavator digging
  • Soil removal
  • Drainage & stormwater
  • Footings & trenching
  • Access clearing

Concreting & paving

Paths, patios and driveways that stay flat and crack-free, on properly compacted and reinforced bases.

  • Concrete slabs & paths
  • Exposed aggregate
  • Stone & concrete pavers
  • Steps & entries

  • Crushed rock & gravel

Retaining walls

Walls that manage slopes, water and levels, built with proper footings and drainage.

  • Timber sleeper walls

Questions

Good to know.

Are your quotes really free?

Yes. We'll come out, look at the space and give you a written, itemised quote at no cost and with no obligation.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the season and the size of the job. We'll give you a realistic start date with your quote and stick to it.

Do you take on small jobs?

Absolutely. From a single garden bed or a new patch of turf to a complete backyard rebuild, no job is too small.

Can you work with my existing plans or designer?

Yes. We're happy to build from plans you already have, or help refine them so they work on the ground and on budget.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

We do: weekly, fortnightly, monthly or seasonal visits to keep your garden looking its best year-round.
