This new home build in Watson required a full landscaping solution. AFGM won the tender for the job by providing a detailed, itemised quote, including a scale hand drawing of the proposed works.
The project faced two significant challenges: coordinating with multiple trades on-site and managing difficult terrain, which was constantly wet and muddy, complicating access to the property.
AFGM carefully planned the landscaping project around the schedules of other trades, ensuring efficient coordination throughout.
To solve for the wet and unstable terrain, we imported washed river sand to stabilise the ground, allowing work to continue without delays. This solution ensured the project stayed on track and was completed on time and within budget.
The final result was a perfectly balanced garden and beautiful lawns that were both low maintenance. The client was highly satisfied with the outcome, and AFGM continues to maintain the property today.
"We did a knock-down-rebuild almost five years ago, and when it came to getting the landscaping done we could either do it ourselves, or engage someone to undertake it for us.
Fortunately we made the right decision and went with A Few Good Men, who were recommended by our builder. Duncan planned out every detail of our landscaping, retaining walls and planting to create a low maintenance but lush urban sanctuary that has flourished with the addition of an automated watering system. The landscaping plan included five raised veggie beds, with in-built irrigation, in a paved area which never fails to impress anyone who visits, and has made growing our own vegetables a pleasure.
Given what a great job Duncan and his team did on the initial landscaping it was a no brainer to continue using their services to maintain the garden going forward. They keep the lawns looking great and the already towering walls of pittosporums neatly trimmed, as well as deal with any weeds and the inevitable tide of autumn leaves. They always let me know when they plan on coming and if they have to rearrange due to inclement weather and have ensured our garden looks immaculate year round.
I would highly recommend A Few Good Men to help turn your garden into a beautiful outdoor sanctuary and keep it looking its best year round."
