Testimonials

The staff were fantastic, turned up on time and did an amazing job of our very difficult steep garden area. Would highly recommend them.

Tony and team did our driveway recently including an unexpected small retaining wall. All work was done professionally and thoroughly driveway came up real good. Great job all round and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again next time.

Fantastic work done for my new fences as well as drainage that was put in.
They are precise and do a great job that will last.

We just has our drive way, landscaping plus much more completed by ‘Busy Digger Landscaping and Earthworks’. We are so impressed with the service proved by Tony and his Team, Chris and Aaron. Tony is more than willing to give advice and share ideas so that everything is done with thought. He is easy to communicate with, always returning calls in a timely fashion. We can’t believe the transformation of our property, it is stunning. Also, the cost was much lower than we ever imagined. We got real value for money. The job was finished efficiently without delay. My last comment. Boy do these guys know how to operate their machinery, so precise. Thank you ‘Busy Digger’ team.

Wandi Entry

Staged project – phase 1: gates and fencing

Client had procured vintage wrought iron gates made using traditional joinery methods, so we came up with a design that would complement and maximise the effect of the statement gates for a modern industrial entry with wow factor. Solid Jarrah railway sleepers were installed upright/vertical and spaced/shaped to create a welcoming curve on custom steel brackets. For the front of the property line we transitioned to traditional split Jarrah post-and-rail fencing with contrasting black chain link mesh, and installed a rural gate for secondary emergency/fire break access

Darling Downs Landscaping

Stage 2 Landscaping – reticulated garden beds with various levels and geometric pattern for dynamic and contemporary garden. Designed to make the most of long narrow spaces and for intended use of cultivating vegetables and fruit trees. Various fruit saplings planted, and gardens mulched, including Corten Steel edged beds down the length of the perimeter.

Easy to maintain gardens with the right mix of visual engagement and practicality, with blue metal walkways throughout for good drainage.

Darling Downs Entry

This project was staged with these initial works to include the contemporary statement entry complete with personalised metal garden/wall art, automated gates, red asphalt/hot mix driveway and custom coloured flush, mount concrete curbing.

We then transitioned to a blue metal walkway/path to the front door, and installed a raised limestone garden bed. Further, rural post-and-rail fencing was installed along the property edge, as well as mulched garden beds with Corten Steel edging for a sharp finish. A compacted gravel hardstand and parking area was laid at a secondary entrance point with a farm-style gate, allowing access to the shed.

Korribinjal Reserve, Jarrahdale

Feature outdoor entertaining space overlooking the Korribinjal Reserve, designed and created to include compacted gravel garden paths, stairs with timber sleepers, and an eye-catching fire pit utilising foraged rocks from on the property for a cost saving alternative that beds the setting into the natural landscape. Also installed were some blue steel garden paths lined with raised garden beds constructed from recycled crates, and some mulched garden beds

Stake Hill Landscaping – Stage 2

Stage 2 included additional works to both adjoining areas and new, with works that covered recycled bitumen driveway and hardstand to existing shed pad, and that required blending against finishes from stage 1; raised garden beds made of limestone blocks and Corten Steel, surrounded by compacted crushed limestone walkways and garden paths, with feature Jarrah railway sleepers; shed pads and bedding made with blue steel and edged by limestone retaining walls and stairs; post and wire fencing and farm gate installation along front property line; and finishes such as reticulation and organic soils

North Dandalup Yard

This rural property was in need of a front yard makeover, and all hardscaping was planned to meet existing structures, paths and lawns with neat and exacting finishes. Red Ferricrete / compacted gravel was installed for the driveway, turning circle and parking hardstand, which was shaped to compliment existing features and improve functionality. Recycled stone was laid for additional gardens with the inclusion of feature rocks repurposed from the local area. Existing gardens were re-shaped and laid with fresh eco mulches.

Ravenswood Entry

This project involved the installation of repurposed railway sleepers in a vertical configuration to frame the entry for dynamic impact. This entry statement was further complimented by a red Ferricrete / compacted gravel rural driveway with turning circle and parking hardstand. Feature rock was repurposed and utilised in the richly mulched and shaped gardens.

Wattle Grove Driveway

With a more contemporary structure on this rural landscape, the project called for some dynamic shapes and colours that would tie the building into its natural setting, For this reason a red recycled bitumen driveway was selected, as well as for durability and functionality, with contrasting but complimentary parking hardstands and overtaking areas in red compacted gravel. This more modern aesthetic paired well with the existing features of the landscape, introducing organic curves and shapes against the hard lines of the existing home. Gardens and edges were freshly mulched.

Baldivis Equine / Rural Fencing

Design, construction and installation of fencing on an equestrian property including farm gates.
