Aussie Landscape

I have used him twice now. He goes above and beyond what he promises. He is friendly, informative, and thoroughly professional. His prices were very reasonable. After he finished he still came back to insure everything was fine. Strongly recommend.

I cannot thank Barrie enough for taking on this small project and creating a beautiful patio space. He was sensitive to cost and the success of plantings with their lighting needs, soil content, and maintenance. Many people of his caliber would not be willing to take on this small project with the attention to detail that Barry displayed. I wish him great reward and success.

I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They did a fantastic job with all of the work and my lawn looks great.

Barry did an outstanding job as usual. He was very punctual, professional and knowledgeable. His pricing is fair and quality is outstanding. I would highly recommend for any and all sprinkler install or repair, major or minor.

Barry was quick to let us know he could do that but that the grass would die in about 4-6 weeks. Barry came up with a solution that was absolutely fantastic - he built us a custom made potty box with real grass that can be easily replaced with a new piece of sod. Brilliant! Barry also planted new flowers, spruced up the existing landscaping, put wire caging around the base of the cactus that could harm our puppy and fixed our irrigation system. Excellent doesn't describe the amazing job he did. Barry is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. If you want a great landscaper who knows his stuff and can make it happen, Barry is absolutely the go to guy!

It went well the did a great job for us

It went very well. He told me when he was coming out; came out exactly on time and did the job at a reasonable charge.

When we moved into our new home about 6 months ago, the backyard was a complete mess -- literally like a jungle.  After trying to clear out a bit on our own, we got to a point where we knew we needed a professional to come in and finish the cleanup and install a new lawn in our backyard (which was at that point a huge dirt area).
We obtained estimates from several landscaping outfits, including a referral from a neighbor who recently had their lawn done, and some other highly rated Angie's List companies.  All of the folks we met with were very professional, and we probably would have been happy with their work as well had we gone with them.
However, when we met Barry for the first time for an estimate, my wife and I were thoroughly impressed.  Barry actually stopped by for an estimate during his lunch break from another job he was working on, and even though he was probably strapped for time, he was very thorough and took his time looking over the yard and chatting with us.  
One of the things we were super impressed with is that we had originally planned to sod and put grass over the entire back yard, including a part of our side yard (and the other vendors gave us quotes for that).  Barry actually advised us against that, and he explained about how certain parts of the yard during the year based on our house and where we were situated may not receive the proper amount of sunlight during the winter months, and could mean that long term we wouldn't have a healthy lawn.  Even though that bit of advice may have cost him a little short term revenue, that attention to detail, honesty, passion and knowledge about his craft made us a long term partner in our eyes.  
After Barry left and gave us an window when we could expect the estimate (a couple of days), my wife and I were definitely sold on Barry, and just hoping the estimate came in close to the other ones we received.  We actually were at a point that if Barry's was even a little bit higher than some of our others, we'd still be willing to go with him.  To our amazement, Barry's estimate came in lower that our others, which sealed the deal immediately.
One of the other things about Aussie Landscape is that you are dealing with not only Barry the owner, but Barry the professional who does also does the work.  He and his assistant Jim (who helped him the first day on cleanout and was also super nice) were prompt and got right to work.  Over the next several days Barry really transformed our dirtpile into a beautiful lush lawn.  He was very good about explaining things along the way and making recommendations for different types of flowers and plants that we could grow later and would complement the lawn and have a good chance of thriving in the area.
Barry finished the project on time and he even wrote up a list of future care for the lawn to keep it nice and healthy.  He even came back for a courtesy visit the week after to check up on the lawn and check the sprinkler settings to see if they needed to be adjusted.
Needless to say, it's been a little over a month since Barry put in our new lawn and it still looks gorgeous.  The recommendations and advice he gave us was great, and he didn't try to upsell us or try and change things to change up the project (which some other contractors are notorious for doing).
We would highly recommend Barry to anyone looking at doing some landscaping and want a knowledgeable, hardworking and super nice professional who truly enjoys the work he does and seems to genuinely care about the long term satisfaction and happiness of his clients.   The next time we need any sort of landscape project, we won't need to shop around - we've found our long term landscaping expert in Barry and Aussie Landscape!b

I contacted Barry and he came promptly out and gave me an estimate of what/how needed to be done. I knew I'd had a leak in one of the pipes...but there was a worse one that I was unaware of in the old valve system.  It had apparently leaked for years...egad!!
We set a day for him to return--but I needed to change the date by a week and he kindly accomadated the new date and time!
He came today, did all the work and was kind enough to explain what he was doing and showed me how the new system would work.  He finished by adjusting the sprinklers for  me as well as making some good suggestions for things that I was able to do myself to improve the system.  Also shared great gardening advise--and we were able to swap a couple of 'grandparent' stories too.I am SO VERY glad to have found him--Deffinitely will keep him on my list of trusted folks to call and recommend!  He is a wealth of information, so forthcoming and helpful and kind.  Well done....

Barrie, the own did a wonderful job cleaning up and landscaping our back and side yard. He also added a drip system to our sprinklers and put in a new timer system. He is very professional and I would recommend him highly.

Perfect! He came out and timed some of my smaller trees. He takes great pride in his work and is very honest. I used Aussie Landscape twice will continue to use their services.

He did a great job!  I am expecting a bid on another job we have for him.  Good man!

Barry was courteous, on time, and professional and helped me with some difficult irrigation.  He ensured that every drip was working, very thorough.  Highly recommend,  Thank you!

Barry and Jim did an outstanding job removing a large plum tree from our front yard, replaced it with a new tree and trimmed two additional trees.  Barry was very responsive when we called to inquire about the project.  He called us right back within a few minutes and came out to give us a bid the same day.  He was able to schedule the service within a week.  Barry and Jim were very professional, meticulous and cleaned up completely when they were done.  It was great to have the company owner (and his son) actually on site to do the work.  We would highly recommend Aussie Landscape and would definitely use them again.  Thank you! 

Barry had come out a few weeks earlier to give me an estimate. He was on time for the estimate

and took the time to walk around my front and back yards and discuss the issues/problems with me.

On the day of the repair work Barry was on time, polite and professional. The 5 valves to be replaced

were difficult to access and it was not an easy job. Barry took the time to do the replacement correctly.

He also performed a check of all my sprinklers. The grass and bushes had grown up around a number

of the sprinklers so Barry cleared an area around each of the sprinklers to improve their operation.

He also took the time to answer questions about our various plants and trees and he even went so far as to write

out his thoughts and recommendations. Barry charged me exactly what the estimate called for. My wife and I were definitely

happy with Barry's work and will call on him again if we have further problems and will also call him for a Spring tune-up.

Excellent - this is the 4th time I have used Barry. He is hardworking, honest, punctual, does great work. I could go on and on. He goes above and beyond. I am so glad I found him on Angies list.

Barry did a great job.  He very attentive and makes suggestions that are helpful.  He is punctual and and does what he says he is going to do.

Barry was a pleasure to work with.  He was able to meet with me on very short notice for a review of the work I needed done and provided a very reasonable estimate.  On the agreed upon date for the work to be done, Barry arrived on time and proceeded to perform the requested services by himself in less than a day.  The quality of his work was excellent.  He also spent some time with me answering questions I had on planting options for the side yard.   I would not hesitate to use Aussie Landscape again.

This is the kind of professional you want working at your home. It made me believe in Angie's list which I had never used before. He took his time, made the right assessment and completed the work as requested at a fair price. Couldn't ask for anything more.

He was punctual, and I very much enjoyed working with him.  He was very professional and knew exactly what was needed. I will call him again when I have any need for sprinkler repair.  He was very flexible and accommodating of my schedule.  I thought he was very fair in his price; he spent a lot of time working to be sure the system was working correctly.

We recommend Barry Steele of Aussie Landscape highly! 
He responded to our first phone call, set a date and was promptly there when he said he would be.  He estimated a week for completion but, was finished a day early.  He does impeccable work and conscientious to every detail.  He is an extremely hard worker:  dug the footings himself, poured the concrete, set the posts, etc. by himself.   He left our yard completely clean and zero damage to existing plants and surrounding area.
Our new fence looks fabulous!  Thanks Barry!

Barry was professional as always.  He was punctual and went about his work without bothering me.  He removed all debris and cleaned up after himself.  Gave me a crash course in taking care of the plants to keep them healthy.  I will definitely have him back should I need additional landscaping or wood working at my home.
