Great gardening service! From the very first visit, Stan was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. He listened to my needs (native, Brisbane weather resistant) and offered great suggestions to improve the overall look and health of my garden. My tiny, unusable courtyard has now been completely transformed into something I actually enjoy spending time in. Highly recommend
Stan , from The Garden Barber comes to my garden every week . He does a great job and the garden and lawn look well tended . Stan works well with no supervision , using his initiative and interest to attend to what needs to be done in the garden . Stan is honest, hard working and trustworthy. He has good experience with gardens and plants in general . I have native bees and I prefer not to use insecticides in the garden . There is not one issue to date that he has not been able to sort out and without the use of insecticides . I could not speak more highly of his work and of the Garden Barber . The service is excellent and has proven a great benefit to both me and my garden .
I’m so happy to have found Myra and Stan. They are extremely knowledgeable and are happy to share that knowledge freely, super friendly and most importantly they are efficient and provide an amazing quality service. I’ve used 3 other garden maintenance companies and I’ll be sticking with The Garden Barber from now on. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they go the extra mile in ensuring that you’re happy with their service. They take on feedback seriously and strive to meet your needs. Couldn’t be happier with their work!
