    John and his team were absolutely amazing. He designed a magnificent front garden. The design is so unique , the choice of plants are beautiful . I am so looking forward to watching them grow and bloom. His boys also built me some back stone walls, that fit in so well with our rocky Mt Colah landscaping. They were also all very polite, neat and professional. Everyone comments on my garden who see it, they love it Thank you

    Highly recommend John and his team who recently renovated our very tired 70s pool and garden to a modern resort style space that we have used every day since. It was a hard site as pool as bottom of slanted land so everything had to be taken up and down by hand! John and his team were on time every day, great communication regarding challenges and opportunities and tidied up at the end of each day.

    We had a great experience with John and the team at Spades of Green when they did the landscaping at our investment property. After a thorough consultation, John demonstrated a vision for what the garden could look like, which was impressive. We had multiple quotes and Spades of Green were not the cheapest, but they gave us confidence that they could give us a great outcome based on their recommendations for what would work best to give us a low maintenance and beautiful result at the property, so we went with them. The project was managed smoothly with excellent communication and a trust factor as we couldn’t be there the whole time. The plant selection and layout compliments the house perfectly and gives the real boost the property needed that will last long term. I highly recommend John and his team. It’s the best landscaping experience we have had so far.

    After a poor experience from my previous gardener, John and his team from Spades of Green have been such a contrast. They are talented, highly knowledgeable, always reliable and my garden looks amazing. John listened to me, offered creative ideas for all aspects of the garden - plants, lights, pots and water systems etc - that were specifically suited to my space, and then executed the plan quickly and with a minimum of fuss. His lighting skill is exceptionally good and has added significantly to my garden’s ‘wow’ factor. He had no problems accommodating the needs of my dog (often not popular with gardeners) while still managing to give me a wonderful garden which I love. He is easily contactable, always responds and is friendly and amiable. He also offered maintenance advice which has really helped me and as a result my garden is flourishing. I cannot recommended John and his team more highly.

    𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ John and his team at Spades of Green have been taking care of our gardens for nearly 15 years, and the results have been nothing short of extraordinary. Over this time, they have completely transformed two properties for us and even re-designed a backyard in another. The results are truly world-class – worthy of any magazine feature! What stands out is John’s thoughtful approach. Every choice – from plants to grass and edging – has been carefully tailored to suit the climate and ensure easy maintenance. I can personally vouch for the quality and longevity of their work; the gardens at two of our properties have thrived for over a decade, not just surviving but flourishing beautifully. John and his professional team are reliable, creative, and deliver outstanding results. I have no hesitation in recommending Spades of Green for any landscape design, garden work, or maintenance needs. If you want exceptional gardens that stand the test of time, they’re the ones to call.

Frequently asked questions

How much do landscapers typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on job type and complexity — a tidy-up is typically much less than a full makeover or structural retaining wall. Materials, labour hours, site access and any required design or engineering work usually drive the price. This page shows live pricing to help you compare current rates.
Do landscapers charge call-out fees?
Most landscapers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the job, and this is usually separate from labour and materials. Hourly labour rates and after-hours or weekend attendance are often charged at higher rates. It’s worth confirming any minimum fees and what the call-out covers when requesting quotes.
When do landscapers need a licence in Australia?
Landscapers typically need a contractor licence or builder registration when work involves structural or building elements such as engineered retaining walls, footings or major excavation. Providers who undertake structural work will usually display a valid state contractor licence or builder registration, while smaller softscape-only jobs often do not require that registration. Check that any landscaper doing structural work holds the appropriate licence or registration.
