““We loved your results, professionalism, and honesty regarding what was achievable within the confines of our wants back in 2021, this made our decision to be a returning customer very easy”.”
““Tidy work. Very much impressed and happy with the final product, I sure will get in touch for any future work or if any of my friends are looking to landscape their place”.”
““I just wanted to thank you for the amazing job you and the team have done on my landscaping. I'm so happy with it. It's made my house feel like my home now. I could finally sit outside last weekend and have some privacy which was great. Thank you again, you have certainly treated me as family from quoting through to completion of the job and I am very grateful”.”
““The design is great. Very happy with the quality of work and materials used. I liked how you can provide the whole package as I was keen to only get one contractor in. The only negative is that progress was slower than I had expected with work starting and stopping. Otherwise overall happy we went with One Square Rate.””

““We got hydro seed on our property a couple of weeks ago. Really happy with service and grass is coming up great and very even. Shopped around with some quotes and these guys are very reasonable. Would recommend!”.”
