Andrew and his team worked hard to create new landscaped areas following a house renovation, where everything of the previous garden was a mess. They removed plants, created edged garden beds, pebbles between pavers and laid instant turf. It all looks fabulous!

Could not be happier with Travis and Valentino. Talk about 'can do' attitude! They transformed my garden and made it look easy and even navigated obstacles like a high pressure cleaner turning up late. Fantastic attitude, really knowledgeable and able to provide so much information about where to plant what. They took so much pride in their work and even tidied up and helped me move a super heavy table because they knew I was preparing the garden for a party. Top blokes! Thanks so much guys.

We approached Andrew from 2 Men and a shovel team to undertake the landscaping work at our newly built home. Within a couple days of contact, he provided us with a quote and gave a time to start works within two weeks. Unlike other landscapers, he showed up with his team on the door at the promised time. We had provided a plan for landscaping and the team just got on with it. We found the team to be hardworking and accommodating if other trades were in the way. The team transformed the space into the copy of landscape drawing on paper. We are very happy with the execution of the project and want to thank Andrew and his team for the delivery of a garden of our choice which we can enjoy in the coming time. We found Andrew to be prompt in his communications and reasonable to deal with. We would recommend 2 Men and a shovel team for their landscaping services.

Andrew and team were great to deal with from the first enquiry to the final product. We wanted to remove pavement and dirt, lay fresh lawn and get a veggie box. He came round for a site inspection, talked me through the options, recorded what needed doing. I only wish we had made our mind up quicker as by the time we were ready we had to wait 3 months to the end of January. But it was worth the wait and we are very happy with the end result, even if they had some crew shortages a few days.

Andrew did an excellent job in designing and selecting appropriate plants for our front garden. The project was a complete success and the garden surpassed my expectations. Thank you to both yourself for organising it all and for Ryan in actually doing the hard yards and completing it all. Extra care was taken by Ryan to meticulously measure it all out, add in new soil, mulch and an irrigation system. Looking forward to seeing it flourish. 2 Men and a shovel delivered on all their promises and more.

Gave us a quote for some garden rejuvenating work. Accepted the quote & didn t hear from them for months. When we were eventually able to get them here to dry the work, they did the bare minimum. Example ground cover jasmine was planted so sparsely it will never provide the cover we want. I called them a couple of times to plant more ground cover & yes they win come & do that. Never heard from them again. Totally unsatisfactory service. David W. We subsequently re-engaged with Andrew and his team and this time I must compliment 2 men and a shovel on their prompt, efficient, pleasant and quality work. Our previous experience was a result of several misunderstandings between us as the costumer, and 2 men and a shovel led by Andrew, however I m pleased to say we were able to overcome our misunderstandings and continue the relationship with a great result today Today we experienced their very pleasing and expert attention to our garden & am happy to say that 2 men & a shovel will be our go to garden team.
