Client Stories

Don't Just TakeOur Word For It

The best measure of our work isn't what we say. It's what happens when clients stay for 5, 10, even 20+ years. These are homeowners across Canterbury, Camberwell, Kew, and Surrey Hills who chose us once and never needed to look again.

Amazing transformation

"The ABS team have looked after our garden for the last two and a half years. They have helped keep the old girl under control and the transformation of the back garden has been amazing."

Anita

Monthly maintenance

"We are completely satisfied with the work done by Abs. We have a large yard with a huge gum that drops constant litter across our garden. Sam and Anthony are incredibly professional and nice…and they care about the end result!! Always discrete and always leave the property in impeccable condition. We have a monthly maintenance which has reinvented our garden! No need to worry about the right time to fertilise or prune, just sit back and enjoy!"

Complete garden revamp

10+ year client

"ABS Horticulture has been looking after our garden for over 10 years. In that time, Anthony's team have proven to be reliable, skilled and prompt with their services. The staff are always polite and their workmanship is top notch, whether it is lawn care, pruning, or shaping our numerous bay trees and hedges. I love coming home from work on the day ABS have serviced our garden, it always looks great."

Why Clients Stay

The ABS Difference

01

Familiar Faces

Anthony, Sam, Rebecca and Grant, usually two per visit, always familiar faces. Sam has been with us over a decade. They know your garden's quirks, your preferences, and your dog's name. That continuity is something no large operation can replicate.

02

No Contracts, Just Results

We've never used lock-in contracts. Our longest client relationships span 20+ years, not because anyone's trapped, but because the garden keeps looking better and there's never been a reason to leave.

03

Horticultural Expertise

Anthony's Diploma of Applied Science (Horticulture) from the University of Melbourne (Burnley) and nearly three decades in Melbourne's eastern suburbs means every decision, from pruning timing to soil management, is backed by genuine science, not guesswork.
