Highlights
"I had a decking and arbour seat project that needed to be completed by 31 October. My original carpenter pulled out at the last minute, leaving me in a panic. Thankfully, Scott from Rivergarden Landscaping stepped in, provided a quote, and work began promptly. Scott and Alan completed the decking beautifully and efficiently. They also installed eight metres of new fencing and transformed overgrown beds into a low-maintenance lawn with 85 sqm of turf. Outstanding work, professionalism, and genuinely likeable guys — highly recommended."
"Scott and his team did a fantastic job of supplying and erecting a long fence of 26 panels/concrete gravel boards and posts. The job was completed within budget, within the timescale and the site was left tidy . Scott was professional , knowledgeable, and communicated when neccessary . We would not hestitate in recommending Rivergarden Landscaping due to the great job Scott did for us ."
"Scott did a great job building us a new raised bed; he responded quickly with a quote, and communication was really good throughout. He was as good as his word in removing all the old soil and rotting timbers, and building us a beautiful new brick wall filled with good quality soil and excellent top soil. I would highly recommend Scott and his team."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
