Highlights
“Shane has done an absolutely amazing job on our driveway. From the initial contact, he was responsive, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. When we encountered an issue along the way with the footings for our stairs, he was able to suggest a solution without charging a bomb to make amendments and was happy to amend those plans alongside my final vision for the driveway and we were able to incorporate a raised flowerbed which is going to look great. His team worked non-stop all day every day and were very professional and polite. I’m absolutely delighted that I chose Shane and his team to do our driveway and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
“We are very impressed with Shane’s landscaping company. They laid our driveway and paths with block paving and replaced our fence. All the work was carried out to a high standard with great attention to detail. We were consulted all the way through the job and Shane was very well organised with the logistics, such as delivery of materials, etc. The team were polite, puntual, hard working and left the site tidy at the end of each day. We totally recommend this company - don’t hesitate to use them.”
“Had a new driveway installed as well as my garden landscaped, Sl group also installed a garden room for us. We are so happy with the service they provided and the quality of the workmanship. We highly recommend this company to anybody who are looking at having any work done. 5 star all around from us.”

Highly recommend Shane and his team at SL group. Did a great job on a brand new patio and path for us recently. Always on time, cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day. Everyone in the team were friendly and polite and worked hard, can’t fault them. Shane kept us updated on progress and consulted us daily. Thanks guys. One happy customer
5 Stars All Round! I had Shane and his team round to transform our garden and I could not be happier with the result. Shane was very knowledgeable and really helped us design a garden we could of only dreamed of previously. His quote was fair and we didn't have any surprises. The team completing the work were professional and polite. I would genuinely recommend SL Group to anyone. Thanks again Shane & Team!
Could not be happier with the work SL landscapes did on our garden. It was basically a complete renovation and their work was both professional and to a high standard throughout. The work took a little longer than expected but personally I’d rather it be done properly and take longer than rushed into the initially quoted time frame. I really feel that Shane listened to everything I wanted and took it all on board to ensure everything was done exactly how I had envisioned and if there were ever any small issues along the way they were sorted very quickly and fuss free. All the SL guys worked very hard and you could tell they have passion for their job. On top of the excellent work executed their quote was very reasonable and it was stuck to throughout so we had no surprise costs added along the way. I would 100% recommended this company and will definitely be using them again in the future.
Got Shane in a couple weeks ago and I’ve blown away by his teams work and professionalism, Shane quoted me for my back garden, driveway and front porch. Not to mention his absolutely outstanding work and reliability. Shane’s team worked through thick and thin conquering challenges throughout this job I seriously haven’t left my garden since the job was completed! 10/10 in every aspect would definitely recommend!!
The quality of service received from SLGroup was outstanding and we would definitely recommend them to anyone! Shane and the team were brilliant from start to finish, they were polite, friendly, hard working and delivered the garden we were wishing for! Shane was great at bringing ideas to the table at the quotation stage and making it clear on what our options were, to suit our needs. After speaking to Shane at the quotation stage, we decided to choose the 3D design package, which was amazing! The 3D design of our new garden was created for us to visualise our choice, before the build was to take place. This was great, as we were able to picture the garden, as if we were actually standing there ourselves! Then after seeing the design render images, we were happy and Shane and the team delivered the project on time and in a very tidy and professional manner. Anyone that is looking for a great landscape design company, look no further than the SLGROUP, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve had plenty of work done to my place over the years but have never been as impressed as I was with the work, communication and overall service. The work was unbelievable good and I couldn’t recommend them enough. I definitely would not go elsewhere ever again thats for sure.
Very happy with Shane and the guys, they worked well, discussed the job as it progressed, were clean and tidy and courteous at all times. Job was completed on time. Would recommend and use them again
Want to thank and recommend Shane, Russell and the team at SL Landscapes for the hard work transforming our back garden. Shane and the boys were very polite, respectful and hardworking. We had originally wanted SL Landscapes to remove our old patio, level and then re-slab, then replace the fence at the back of the garden. When the work was nearly finished, I spoke to Shane about having more work done and we ended up having a new lawn laid at the same time. The final result is amazing, totally transformed the garden. The work was completed to a very high standard, above and beyond what we were expecting. The team made it a hassle-free experience for us and was a pleasure standing watching the professionals at work. I would not hesitate to recommend SL Landscapes. Great bunch of lads, quality work and great credit to their profession. Will definitely be using them again in the near future.
The work speaks for itself, great quality finish and outstanding value for money! Alongside this, Shane and his team worked tirelessly to exceed our expectations. We are grateful to each and every one of them and couldn't recommend them highly enough. We will certainly be using them for future work.
Shane and his team provided an outstanding service. They were always on time, friendly and professional. They have transformed our garden and we couldn’t be happier. We would definitely recommend to others.

Shane and his guys were great, they all worked really hard and we're over the moon with our patio.
Shane and his team laid a two tier patio in Indian sandstone with key kerb edging. Their manner , attitude and level of professionalism was second to none. They have left us with a wonderful feature that we will enjoy for years to come. Thank you so much SL Landscapes and Tree Care.
