Scapegoats Landscaping

“The retaining wall that the Scapegoats team built for us looks very strong and tidy. Great work, thank you. Kudos to Reuben and Jacob for scoping out and delivering the work, and for their genuine and considerate customer service.”

“Scapegoats are awesome! We had them around to put in a concrete pad for a spa pool s o they initially came to do a site visit and provide an estimate. Reuben was lovely to work with and talked us through our options and what the process would look like. A day or so after the visit we received the estimate which we accepted and were then told that the job might not be able to do be done for about 6 weeks due to their busy schedule. They would try to fit us in sooner though. Just a week or so later we got an email to say they could do the job later that week if that suited us, which it did. A team of people showed up who all introduced themselves and told us what they'd be doing and we left them to it. The work took a couple of days and all of the team were super nice, friendly, and happy to discuss any aspect of the job. The finished job was better than we anticipated and was exactly to the estimate. They even did a great job tidying up the site after the job was done. Could not recommend them highly enough, and we will definitely use them for future work!”

“We are very happy with the work Scape Goats did for us, a substantial landscaping project. The work exceeded our expectations in terms of look, function and quality of build. They were also competitively priced. The work was also done in good time. The SG team was great to work with and listened to what I wanted and used their expertise to improve significantly on that – while keeping me in the loop (also incorporating some of my better suggestions). The SG team are both highly competent on the technical aspects of the work, but also have an advanced sense of the art of placemaking. Some of their solutions to challenges, such as the stepped retaining wall at the back is brilliant as was following the peak of the garage with the wood detail (which must have taken a bit more time and effort).”

“We have a relatively small outdoor area that was very rundown and not really that useable. We had a rough idea of what we wanted and took it to Scapegoats and they went away and put together a quote for us based on these ideas without needing to have proper plans drawn up. The project ended up taking a bit longer than initially expected largely due to weather and sickness but they kept us up to date and were great to deal without throughout. Everything in our new space looks fantastic and we were able to use the new area so much more in summer last year. It is worth adding they were a bit more expensive than the other companies we talked to but they either did or organised everything. From all the upfront earthworks through to concreting, site drainage, deck/screen/planter box building, organising/working with the electrician for outdoor lighting and finishing off with some beautiful planting. So all in all very happy we used Scapegoats and well worth the additional cost. Thanks to Jordan, Gary, Reuben and the rest of the team got all their work!”

“These guys are amazing - best tradespeople experience we've had. 😄 Very happy with the outcome - looks fabulous, with great attention to detail - we really appreciate the quality of the workmanship. Like any job of consequence there were a couple of things we didn't realise until partway through, but each time it was met not with any defensiveness or avoidance but just a willingness to talk and figure out a solution that worked for us. Scapegoats communication was outstanding throughout which made the whole job a really positive experience and it was a real pleasure to have the team on site. Friendly and obliging, hands down the best communication and on-site experience we've ever had - and in the end we are very happy with the result. 😊”
