Working with David

A conversation about your garden

An overgrown garden, a fresh start with new planting or a tree that needs attention — David visits your property, listens to what you have in mind and talks through the options before quoting.

We work with the garden you have, from restoring tired beds to creating a whole garden around a new home. You can ask questions, discuss what is practical and agree on the work before it starts.

Based in Ryde, we work across the North Shore, Inner West and Hills District.

What it’s like to work with us

“I was a bit apprehensive about hiring a landscaper after hearing a few horror stories, especially picking someone I’d found online—but I’m so glad I went with Absolute Tree and Garden. David was extremely responsive and even shuffled his schedule to squeeze my job in earlier than expected. The team that came out were friendly, efficient, and thorough—exactly what you’d hope for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Absolute Tree and Garden to anyone.”

  • David and the whole crew at Absolute Tree and Garden Services are fantastic. The work is always done very professionally and safely. The crew are very friendly and respectful. I have used them for many years across multiple properties and the service is always the same - consistently good. I like that they will push back if the request is not going to give you the best result which is great. They turn up on time!! Their rates are very reasonable as well. I fully recommend Absolute Tree and Garden Services! Stuart

  • David and his team are phenomenal! Our overgrown trees have been pruned to perfection our front garden replanted and it looks gorgeous. Thank you David!

  • I could not rate David and his team more highly. They did a first rate job in both my backyard and front yard. Both look fantastic and I could not be happier. David is a genuinely nice guy and very easy to relate and talk to. David’s price was very reasonable for all the work he did and I will definitely be using his services again soon. Highly recommended.

  • Another tree service mucked me around all morning with quote appointment changes, so I contacted Festus from Absolute Tree and he quoted over the phone his team turned up and both tree stumps were gone before sunset on the same day at a most reasonable cost. Thanks again.
