The work we do

A garden planned around you

We walk the garden with you and work out a layout around the sun, soil, drainage and how you want to use the space. The planning leads into the work: preparing the ground, planting, edging, mulching and laying turf where agreed.

  • Layout and easy access

    Put beds, paths and lawn where they work for you, with clear routes between the house and the parts of the garden you use.

  • Plants for your garden

    Choose planting and screening for the sun, shade and soil, and the space each plant will need as it grows.

  • Keep what already works

    Plan around established plants that are healthy and well placed, along with the garden features you want to keep.

  • Upkeep and budget

    Balance the planting, lawn and materials with what you want to spend and how much care you want to give the garden.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Before you book

Questions about landscape design

Do you provide drawings or a design-only service?

Our service is practical garden planning with you on site, followed by the agreed landscaping work. We don’t offer a separate drawn-plan service or a set of plans to take to another contractor.

Can you plan a small area and keep existing plants?

Yes. We can focus on a front garden, one bed or part of the backyard. Healthy established plants in the right place are worth keeping, and the layout can work around them.

What if I don’t know what I want yet?

Start with what is not working: an awkward path, too much lawn, a bare bed or more upkeep than you want. Photos of gardens you like and a budget are helpful, but optional. David can talk through the choices when he visits.

Can the design include retaining walls, paving or a pool?

The focus is planting, garden beds, paths and lawn. Small garden walls and small paving jobs can fit within our under-$5,000 scope for that work. Large retaining walls, extensive paving and pools are outside this service.

How does this fit with your landscaping service?

Landscape design is the planning part of the garden work we carry out. We agree on the layout and plants with you, then prepare and finish the garden. Our landscaping page explains the work that can be included.

Can you change the layout of an existing garden?

Yes. If your garden needs a different layout, new planting or refreshed beds, a garden makeover may suit. You can describe the changes you want without choosing a service name first.
