Highlights
“Raised patio with retaining walls and back filled to replace existing raised decking. Shayne Jones is so refreshing. He answers his phone and agrees to visit and quote promptly. After discussions he works out a quote straight away and sticks to it. Shayne and all his team are polite, friendly, professional, always approachable and a pleasure to do business with. We were kept informed at all times. The job was started on time and finished within days. We would recommend them and will use them again.”
“Very pleased with the landscape work done by Shane and team. The work was completed swiftly in a professional manner and site left clean and tidy. Would recommend.”
“A professional and efficient tidy up of a very awkward garden. Everything was taken away and the area was left spotless. I was consulted continuously to ensure it was being done to my liking. Great communication from a very charming man!”
Detailed reviews
Shane turned up with one of his teams from SJ Driveways and removed any concerns we had regarding the landscaping of nearly 200 sq metres of our rear garden. The professionalism of operation along with the courtesy regarding any noise with our neighbours, gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company for the job. Every step of the project was completed exactly as outlined in their quote. The site was left clean and safe daily and the quality and workmanship left us with no alternative other than to give them the works to complete the landscaping of the front garden. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. 5 star job lads.
From Shane's flyer we contacted him on spec. We got an immediate response and the job done within a few days. A bush that had grown into a tree and had had its day was professionally taken down. We are now considering asking SJ Driveways for more work that Shane has advised us on. Recommended.
Right from the start we felt completely comfortable with the company, very easy to talk to explain every thing done exactly As they said they would ! Shane was a very easy person to talk too the other guys where always on time and worked very well as a team I would recommend this company to anyone thanks guys !
Right from the beginning we were given confidence and assurance of the job we were looking for. Everything was explained in detail and the options available to us. All members of the team were polite and hard working. Shane has a good sense of humour so we felt comfortable talking and laughing as we discussed our way through the job. Would definitely recommend this company.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
