Green Earth Landscape and Garden Maintenance
Landscaping Services in Botany Downs

"I came to Darius after a botched job on my yearly garden maintenance on my Mexican alder trees, hedges and lomandra grasses...

From the beginning Darius used his expert experience and advised me on the best course of action, it was a big job, replacing 22+ destroyed grasses plus extra work with mulch and extra trimming of trees/hedges and further grasses around the property.

The job was organized and confirmed same day, quote given etc.

The next day, the team turned up when advised, early morning sharp, 3x men, with many individual plants, mulch and fertilizer, worked a long day, tided up extra, above and beyond what was required.

Left feeling very thankful for Darius and his team's effort, literally no issues or complaints.

Job well done! Would highly recommend!!!

Darius kept me informed throughout the planning the day before and the day of.

Thanks again Darius! Literally Saved the day!"

"Darius and his team are absolutely fantastic. They’ve been taking care of my garden for about 10 months now, and I couldn’t be happier with their work. Darius is genuinely wonderful to deal with — he and his team are passionate, hardworking, and always attentive to what needs to be done. They consistently deliver exactly what we discuss.

Thank you, Darius, and your entire team for your ongoing effort and dedication. I truly appreciate it and look forward to working with you again next year."

"As we approach retirement, we would like to landscape our beautiful property to be low maintenance in a cost effective manner. What stood out with Darius, was that he really listened. He came up with quick solutions, understood our needs and did his best to give us affordable options. His quote was half that of other landscapers with five times more work including adding retaining timber.
From the get go his communication was timely, honest, kind and friendly. He has a select team of 40 young, strong, well trained Indian men. He has over 30 years of experience. He knows his trees, shrubs, pavers, decking, fencing, roofing and everything outdoor using quality materials sourced at the best price. I love his anecdotes and stories about his own home and family life. He is knowledgeable and passionate about landscaping and doing the best for his clients. Solutions he came up with included removing pavers and placing concrete slab with pebbles, weeding and using weed mat and gap7 to cover the surface with several layers of stone to minimise constant maintenance.
I learnt so much from our continued caring interactions. Like pruning a mandarin tree to keep it a shrub so that it bears sweeter fruit or which trees have strong roots that damage the fencing or concrete and why they should be removed.
Darius kept us posted every step of the way. Commenced work the next day after providing the quote. Visited the site at least 5 times a day giving clear instruction to his team. The entire job was completed in record time of four days.
I highly recommend the Green Earth landscaping company, as a public service to enhance your outdoors at a low cost. Look at how Green Earth transformed our outdoor space ??"

"Darius was excellent and provided the exact kind of help I needed. I knew I wanted to transform my backyard space with limited budget but didn't have an exact vision in mind. I shared with Darius my hopes and pain points and he was able to provide a solution that I am very pleased with. He responded to my initial request for work immediately and had great communication throughout. He was generous with some bonus plants and was patient with sharing options and ideas and allowing me to pick the way forward. Darius' team were efficient workers and respectful of the property. Sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to find the right team to do the work you are after, especially when it is a small job, but Darius was awesome and I am so pleased with the result. I love my new space. Highly recommend."

"We recently had artificial AstroTurf installed at our camp, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the communication was outstanding, clear, prompt, and professional. The process was completely hassle-free, and the team was incredibly reliable, delivering exactly what was promised on time and with no surprises. The quality of the turf is durable, low-maintenance, and looks fantastic, instantly lifting the appearance and functionality of our outdoor space. Our campers will love it, perfect for all kinds of activities, rain or shine. A special thanks to Darius, who went above and beyond throughout the project. Not only was he incredibly helpful and responsive, but he’s also generously providing us with extra AstroTurf to support some exciting new camp activities we’re planning. That kind of thoughtfulness and commitment to community is rare and deeply appreciated. I would highly recommend Green Earth to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor area with a professional, stress-free installation. This has been a game-changer for our camp!"

"WATCH OUT for Greenearth Landscaping.
I engaged Greenearth Landscapes for a small back yard renovation.
Darius promised planter boxes that would last 20 years but after 6 months they are already coming apart with gaps between the boards. See attached photos.
He also underfilled the planter boxes until I asked that they be properly topped up but then he added topsoil that was full of weeds. CHECK what soil he is putting in.
The paving too was a substandard job. Darius subcontracted the paving to another company, Citi Landscapes. I didn’t know he was going to do this. The pavers were FIRTH Flagstone Black Sand and were laid in a very rough shod way, with strange cutting decisions and irregular lines and concrete from the haunching, splattered over them and the house walls. Darius told me to only discuss the job with him BUT he did not follow up with Citi Landscapes who laid the pavers. His solution was to give me a concrete brush to scrub the concrete overflow from the new pavers. Hè told me it didn't matter because it was outside. I mentioned discoloration on the pavers and sent photos, he tried to say I must have scrubbed them with chemicals. Of course I had not. Then he sent me a link to information about efflorescence and said it would go away. WELL, it hasn’t. It has just got WORSE.
Darius continued to ignore my requests for the invoice for the pavers UNTIL I got Firth involved. INVOICES showed Citi Landscapes ordered one batch of pavers direct from FIRTH BUT delivered 63 pavers from old stock they had sitting around their yard which FIRTH explained was the reason so many of the pavers they laid for my job were covered in efflorescence.
DARIUS and his subcontractors CITI LANDSCAPE are taking no responsibility despite providing half the pavers and laying all of them.
Firth is helping in some ways by following up on the batch they sent BUT said that Darius should have followed up immediately when the efflorescence appeared.
I paid $15,000 dollars and have faulty pavers and planter boxes pulling apart after 6 months.
Do not believe what Darius promises. I am available for a call if anyone wants more information"

Darius called up next day and came around and gave us a favourable quote for the work and time line when it would be done. The work started next afternoon and was completed within 3 days. Very friendly and helpful. Gave us various options to consider and all within the budget. A few follow up items needed to be completed and one plant replaced but they were done within the month.

From start to finish, Darius was professional, reliable, and dedicated to delivering top-notch work. The entire area now looks better than ever.

What really stood out to us, was how Darius went above and beyond the original scope of the project. He added extra touches and improvements at no additional charge, which demonstrated his commitment to quality and his genuine desire to ensure the playground was not only safe but also beautiful and functional. Additionally, Darius provided thoughtful recommendations for optional extras that would enhance the space, all while keeping our budget in mind. We really appreciated how he was able to balance quality with cost-efficiency, helping us make informed decisions without feeling pressured.

His attention to detail was remarkable, and he took the time to address every concern we had, no matter how small. His pricing was incredibly reasonable considering the high standard of work and the extra effort he put in. We would wholeheartedly recommend Darius to anyone in need of quality outdoor or structural work. His expertise, work ethic, and willingness to go the extra mile make him standout."
