The work we do
What landscaping can include
Plan the garden with David on site, then have the agreed work carried out. Bring together planting, beds, paths and lawn around the sun, soil, access and how you want to use the space.
Planting and soil preparation
Prepare the beds and choose plants for the sun, soil and upkeep you have in mind, including hedges, screening and feature planting.
Garden beds and edging
Shape new beds or refresh existing ones, with timber or steel edging to define the planting and keep lawn and mulch apart.
Paths and stepping stones
Connect the garden with stepping stones set into lawn or pebbles, planned around the routes you use through the yard.
New lawn
Prepare and level the ground before laying new turf, whether it is a patch of lawn or part of a wider garden project.

Beds, lawn and paths together
We assess the sun, existing plants and the route through the garden before agreeing on the soft landscaping. Tell David about drainage concerns and future work that could disturb the new garden.
Keep the build within scope
Our focus is planting, garden beds, mulch and lawn. Any small wall or paving work must stay within the agreed under-$5,000 scope for that work; large structural landscaping is outside our offer.

Highly recommend this landscaping company. They listened to my ideas, provided great suggestions, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations.
More customer reviews
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!
Wendye Vince ·
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.

Questions about landscaping
Do I need a landscape design before getting a quote?
No. Bring your ideas or explain what is not working in the garden. David plans the layout and planting with you on site, then the agreed work is carried out. We don’t offer a separate drawn-plan service.
How our landscape design worksCan you work on one area and keep existing plants?
Yes. Landscaping can focus on a front garden, backyard, new bed or part of the lawn. Show David the plants and features you want to retain so the work can be planned around them.
Do you build retaining walls or paving?
Small garden walls and small paving jobs can be included within our under-$5,000 scope for that work. Large retaining walls, extensive paving and pools are outside this service. Discuss any walls or paved areas with David when he visits.
Can I just have new turf laid?
Yes. If the garden layout already works and you only need a new lawn, our turf-laying service covers the ground preparation and installation. It can also be part of a wider landscaping job.
Explore turf layingHow does landscaping relate to a garden makeover?
There is overlap. Landscaping brings together the planting, beds, paths and lawn. A makeover focuses on changing an existing garden’s planting or layout. Describe what you would like changed; you don’t need to choose the service name before enquiring.
Explore garden makeoversHow long will the landscaping take?
Timing depends on the preparation, planting, lawn and other work agreed, along with access and the weather. David can discuss the likely duration once he has seen the garden and the scope is clear.
Can you come back when the garden needs attention?
Yes. You can book a garden restoration for pruning, weeding, feeding and fresh mulch when needed. There is no fixed schedule, and we don’t offer lawn mowing or regular maintenance rounds.
