The Customer Story

When was the work done?
The work was done in March, 2013.

What was involved?
We had a regular grass garden that had a big drainage problem. We wanted the grass removed and the garden completely paved over. Eugene put in a lovely sandstone patio and a raised stone wall bed.

How did you choose Genius Garden Improvements?
I found out about Eugene from a Pickapro ad I saw in the Northside People. The ad mentioned special offers on sandstone paving, so we went online to the Pickapro website, saw Eugenes site and gave him a call. We met with Eugene, told him what we wanted and he showed us lots of examples of previous work he had carried out that was similar. We were very impressed with Eugene.

Had you definite ideas in mind before you talked to Eugene Iarmurati?
Yes, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted.

Did Eugene introduce new ideas?
Eugene made a few suggestions that led to some minor changes to the plans. They were design ideas that needed to be amended in order to fit within our very tight budget.

How did the project run?
It was great and it was done in spite of dreadful weather. Eugene and his guys worked through rain and torrential hailstones. The full project took just over two weeks.

What was the biggest benefit to you of using Genius Garden Improvements?
Perfection, absolute perfection! Eugene's attention to detail is incredible and he transformed my garden.

What's your favourite part now?
The raised stone wall.

Would you recommend Genius Garden Improvements to others?
I would highly recommend Eugene.
