Affordable Landscape Solutions

Mark and his team have provided gardening maintenance services at my home on three occasions over the last 12 months. On each occasion they have been highly professional, efficient and accommodating, have arrived on time, contributed good suggestions, and delivered a quality product. We have been happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping or gardening services.

Mark and his team were outstanding. They finished my garden landscaping on time and with terrific results. I just love looking out over my beautiful garden now. They were very affordable and I can highly recommend their work to everyone.

The works completed by Affordable Landscape Solutions were undertaken with professionalism. Mark and his team obviously take pride in their work and I was very happy with the end result. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any of your landscaping requirements.

A big thanks to Mark and team. They have transformed a previously unusable space into a small piece of paradise. They worked very efficiently and were polite and well mannered. I would recommend them to anyone.

Do not hire under any circumstances.Sorry that I ever used these guys. Poor quality of work and attention to detail. No pride in their own work or concern about leaving their client with a quality outcome. They rushed through our job and I had to get them back on three occasions to rectify numerous obvious poor jobs and dodgy cut corners (e.g. multiple obvious gaps in a lap and cap fence, over 10 exposed nails sticking out of the new fence, leaving a big gap at the back of a raised garden such that soil is just falling out, using timber offcuts to complete a garden bed bench because they hadn't cut/calculated the timbers properly, taking a big wedge out of one of the fence posts but in the wrong place so just nailing the wedge back in instead of getting a new post....the list goes on).Zero care or quality control. No effort to find proper solutions to tricky problems. Would rather just get out, take their money and leave it to the customer to fix later. This is exemplified by our paving, which doesn't fall to the drainage point (as was clearly requested/required) so that water now pools in our back yard when it rains. Our side passage paving that was meant to fall away from the house (as clearly requested/required) does the opposite. When I pointed out these major faults to Mark he didn't really want to know about it because it was too big and costly a job for him to fix. At that point I was at my wits end asking him to do stuff properly and just wanted to see the back of him. Now we're left with that far from insignificant cost to fix the paving (thousands $s). Also, when they laid the paving they didn't fill and bed down the gaps with sand, and somehow considered that a finished job. Pathetic.

I greatly regret having used Affordable Landscaping Solutions for the following reasons:They killed numerous of my plants by transplanting some without their root balls, leaving some out on the nature strip where they dehydrated or were taken by neighbours, and ripping plants out because they thought they were weeds. They cut a Frangipani tree off at it's base instead of digging out the root ball because they thought it didn't need it's roots!They did a rough job on the watering system, and the one in the front garden leaked badly and I could not get them to come back and fix the problem.I have thee or four times as many weeds growing in the new lawn they installed in the back yard than there were in the previous lawn, and it is bumpy and uneven.They agreed to remove six inches of top soil out of my front garden so as to remove weeds and their roots, and then replace it with uncontaminated soil. They refused to do this because they said that it was only an 'afterthought' and was not included in the quote.They left the roots of a small weed tree I asked them to remove (twice) in the ground and it has grown back.I had to get them to come back to finish numerous minor jobs they were asked to do, and they left rubbish on the nature strip outside my house for me to dispose of.I was charged $7000., and I am rather annoyed.They did one job competently and that was to build a small sandstone retaining wall.
