When was the work done?
The work was done mid May/June 2014.
What was involved?
It was a total upgrade and revamp of our front garden driveway. This involved raising the garden level and widening the access entrance to allow two cars park in the driveway. A new front and side wall was created in red brick and natural stone with granite capping to blend with granite sets and flagstone, stepped raised beds with shrubs three different levels and Iroko Teak panelling was used as a backdrop. Counter sunk lighting with additional surface lighting was fitted with complete lighting system on sensors which activate in the evening time.
We believe the value of our house without doubt has been increased by a significant amount.
How did you choose Greenstone Landscapes?
We saw other projects they completed and were very impressed.
Had you definite ideas in mind before you talked to Ross Farrell?
Not really- although we knew we wanted to open up the entrance to the driveway, build a wall and didn’t want any grass. Ross built this into his design concept and included three raised beds, the planting and lighting system with sensors which we are delighted with. We were open minded and listened to Ross’s suggestions.
Did Ross introduce new ideas?
Most definitely, Ross came up with a brilliant design concept.
How did the project run?
Very smoothly. Ross’s team arrived punctually every morning and worked thoughout the day. At the end of each day they cleared up and left the place spotless. They were hard workers, very reliable and nice guys.
Not only were we impressed with their professionalism but our neighbours commented how hard working they were and what a terrific job they were doing. We have had many favourable comments from passersby since the completion of the driveway. At the end of the project the guys left the place in pristine condition.
What was the biggest benefit to you of using Greenstone Landscapes?
Meeting Ross and using Greenstone Landscape gave you the confidence they would do a first class and professional job.
What's your favourite part now?
The overall “WOW” factor to the front of our house.
Would you recommend Greenstone Landscapes to others?
Yes, most definitely.
Any tips for other people?
Be open minded and listen to suggestions.
We had originally considered building an extension just to utilise the space - but doing what we did has delivered a far better use of space for us.
When the ideas of a design come together, you can really see the advantages of having a professional working for you.
I love the whole thing, it's gorgeous....It was Ross's design that won him the job.
It's a designer garden but at the same time it's absolutely practical for our family which is what we really wanted.
We now have an absolutely stunning back garden.
What Ross achieved looked every bit as good as I had hoped, in fact better.
Ross's whole approach is excellent. He delivers on his promises and you definitely get what you pay for.
I could not recommend Greenstone highly enough as the finished product is fantastic.
We believe the value of our house without doubt has been increased by a significant amount.
The biggest benefit to working with Greenstone was clever design followed up by good workmanship.
Ross took my plans and showed what could be done by a designer. There is no way I could have envisioned what we ended up with.
Ross was very engaged and immediately envisioned what we wanted
Give Ross the opportunity to produce a design first - his design just might include things you wouldn't have thought of yourself.
It's such a pleasant place to go to now and it has drawn the rest of the family outside to participate in the garden.
We love our back garden and are really looking forward to next summer when we will be able to take full advantage of it!
We invited three landscapers ... to provide some ideas... Ross's design stood out and had a wow factor about it.
With Ross you get a real professional who won't rip you off. He's also a really nice guy.
My mum, who's a great gardener said that everything he chose was fantastic, that they were very good quality plants.
We went to see Ross's work first. We liked what we saw and we liked what people said about Ross.
Ross Farrell was the main reason why I chose Greenstone Landscaping. I met with him and liked him very much.
Overall, I have to say that I never thought the garden could turn out so well. Ross worked with the shape of the garden
We got exactly what we'd wanted to get. The garden feels twice as big now because we can use every part of the garden.
Excellent workmanship, great ideas, very reliable and very nice team of guys.
Ross and his team stripped back the garden and then implemented a fabulous new pre-agreed design. The design was originally developed and presented in 3D chart form by Ross.
When Ross finished the back garden I asked him to do the front garden because we were so pleased with what they did...
