What Our Customers Have to Say

  • I love having our garden done by Simone and her crew. Gardening is an art and if you want it to be nice, then it must be done by an expert. Getting older means that one cant do as much as one did and
    to have some help and from such nice people is comforting. Thanks Simone and keep up the great work.

  • Simone has been looking after my garden since 1998 and I leave it primarily to her care. The garden is a very spring intensive affair, full of roses, trees and shrubs. My lifestyle sees me leave town on weekends, usually returning Sunday or Monday morning. A few months ago, a young woman knocked at my door. She introduced herself and said, "I walk past your house almost daily and have done for several years.

  • Simone and the team at Garden Effects do an absolutely brilliant job. We have had two planting plans done for our property over the years as well as garden workcompleted and we are so happy with the results. Their service is also very cost effective. We would have no hesitation recommending Garden Effects to all.

  • We have been using Garden Effects for many years now to provide landscaping advice and general garden maintenance and are extremely happy with their service. Simone and her team do a fantastic job and I cannot recommend this business more strongly.

  • I have always loved roses and had over 100 bush and climbing roses in our garden at the farm. I used to prune them myself but I was unwell during July one year and as I worked full time I thought I would get someone to do them for me just this once.

  • Simone Shaw has been looking after our garden since 2004. She was introduced to us by a friend who was happy with her work. Since she started looking after our garden, it has been pretty much a stress free garden. We have quite a few plants and before Simone started, it could be time consuming, especially in summer.
