Listonia Landscaping and Building

a quick 6 week job turned into a 5 1/2 month nightmare. constant delays due to staffing issues and personal issues. The actual work is not up to standard as all 18 joints were not sanded properly and all painting has bubbled over the joints that he painted whilst it was raining. Two tiles were installed broken. my fence has concrete spray in multiple areas, including in the front yard that was out of the construction zone. We were delayed for over a month due to a "demanding client". I had to initiate all communication, and always felt like a side job. I payed $40 thousand dollars and the only thing that went on time were my payments to Garry. He is a smooth talker and kept stating that he was a "Licensed Contractor" honestly i would give this guy a pass.

Zero stars if possible! Texted to say would not be finishing job! Who does that?? No support to find someone to complete the work. Just quit. Would not recommend this business to anyone. We are left with an absolute mess - and the worry of collapsing dirt walls that were never cemented. Poor form and shame on you. Project completion date - never completed

Garry and his crew come with our absolute highest recommendation. Garry’s timely communication is beyond comparison. We had a complete redo of our sloped backyard with Listonia building a pool, cabana, shed for a camper trailer, tool shed, potting shed, raised garden beds, two lawns, all the lighting and automated water systems, a fire pit and space for our existing trampoline. We were thrilled with the entire process from design to completion with Garry’s meticulous eye for detail and quality finishes. His crew, including any contractors he brought onsite were extremely “family friendly”. We could trust that our young children wouldn’t hear or witness any crude behaviour, talk or playlists. They were a gift to have here for the many long months of work it took to complete with unexpected delays due to rain and flooding. Once it was all complete, we invited Garry and his crew along with their families to a BBQ and pool party so they could enjoy the fruits of their labour. We have never had tradespeople work with us before that have consistently displayed such high work ethic and fun.

Listonia did an awesome job transforming our pool area into an entertainment space by building a custom gazebo and firepit area with bench seating, as well as revising our front yard with a new fence and garden bed. Garry was great to work with and helped us come up with a perfect design for our space and his whole team was always friendly and did an excellent job. They were able to accomodate a few changes along the way and still delivered the project in time for Christmas as promised. We love our new outdoor space!

Easy to work with, thorough and incredibly professional. Thank you for helping sort out backyard.

Listonia Landscaping and Building team are true professionals. From design stage right through to construction the team were super to deal with. Gary the owner was always available onsite and nothing was a problem. His skilled trades team do very good workmanship onsite and have great attitude. Gary himself got years of landscape experience that really shows right throughout our project. Highly recommend these guys and we will be engaging them for our new project. Top class team...

Went above and beyond. Extremely satisfied with the professionalism and expertise to complete the job.

Gary and his team did a great job at my house building a new deck, as well as rectifying some damaged brickwork and tiles. Gary was always polite and friendly and returned my e-mails and calls ASAP. His tradesman were also always polite and friendly and willing to help out. I will definitely use this company again in the future.

We had an area of approximately 100 square meters landscaped at our home in Burpengary by Gary and his staff from Listonia in February 2021. We had landscaping plans drawn up for the work from another landscaper several years earlier but weren't in a position to have the work undertaken until recently. The job essentially required constructing three separate "outdoor rooms", each approximately 25 square m (5x5m) with an adjacent stepped pathway leading to the front of the house. The three rooms consisted of a hardwood deck (palawan timber) under an existing Stratco patio cover with large palawan bench seat, a beautiful thick (200x200mm) ironbark pergola with palawan hardwood bench seat, and the third room was an open area with plants, fire pit, palawan daybed and large 3-piece corten screen. The uncovered areas included travertine stone tiles on a concrete slab of approximately 50 square meters. The landscaped gardens, bench seating and corten screens included LED lighting. We love the texture and warmth of natural timber and Brendon did a fantastic job cladding the existing metal Stratco posts in 200mm wide merbau hardwood. We are very happy with the job, which cost about $50,000. Our family and friends have also complimented us on the work, and we now use the areas to celebrate, entertain and relax as much as possible. We are confident that it was a wise investment that has significantly increased the value of our home. Gary is experienced, professional, trustworthy and approachable, and we have no hesitation recommending him to our family and friends. The quality of the workmanship, carpentry and tiling was very good. We are pretty careful and it took us a long time before we chose Listonia. We obtained quotes from at least six different landscaping companies before settling on Gary. Deb and Tony Courtney 8/8/21

Trust is an important commodity. Trust that the "builder searching" produces results,, -- and done speedily, economically, and satisfactorily. Trusting a complete stranger with hard-earned money, and achieving an end-result that in your mind looked beautiful. I cannot praise and thank Garry and his hard-working, friendly team, enough. My children and I sing your praises. As a grandmother of 5 grandchildren (ages 10, 6, 4, 2 years and a newborn, ) ----my pool deck, (that had been eaten by termites 4 years ago), --was a danger to them, the pool unusable, --and an eye-sore. I had been frustrated at my lack of progress, -- to find someone to re-build the deck, which seemily was too small for contractors, but vitally important to me, to remedy. I did not care for aesthetics, but safety. Garry listened to me, and could hear the emotional worry I had, and he even suggested ideas that I had not thought of. The deck was small, and rebuilt in 3 days, -- within 2 weeks of consulting with him. The deck was more beautiful then I had envisaged, and built within my budget. Thankyou.

Garry and his team were outstanding and I would definitely recommend their service. We completed a large landscaping design and build job in Camp Hill. We were kept informed on the progress and timelines. Garry always makes time to listen and takes action to ensure the project runs well. We decided to add a gatehouse to the project and they were able to fit it all in. Garry handled all the council approvals and certification. We absolutely love our new garden and all the lovely colour.

Garry from Listonia was beyond exceptional. From the moment I first met him, I knew he was the right person to undertake my landscaping project. His clear ideas and vision of what my backyard should look like and how I can maximise my space made the entire experience seamless and stress free. He was very respectful to my budget and provided me with a number of different alternatives to ensure he did not exceed it. Quality is Garry's number consideration and he did not substitute that for anything throughout the entire project. I honestly am so grateful to Garry and his team for making my backyard dreams come true. I highly recommend Garry from Listonia Landscaping and will use him for all of my future landscaping needs.

Garry from Listonia Landscaping provided a very professional service with a fantastic result. We couldn’t be happier with how everything looks.

Garry has been a pleasure to deal with for our landscaping requirements. From the outset, Garry was clear, professional and understanding. Once the job got going he was responsive, flexible and a fountain of knowledge for all the questions we had along the way. Garry's team worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done and were back no-questions-asked for a quick fix when a piece of equipment faulted. I recommend Garry highly to others.

My view of customer service is when something goes wrong how is it handled. Garry from Listonia had a subcontractor who did not complete the works to an acceptable level. Garry initiated rectification without me saying anything and followed through till it was resolved. Garry was brilliant in all aspects of the project. The guy takes pride in his work and suggested many great ideas, has a great crew. He was respectful of my wife, An attribute often lost on trades people. Our landscaping and pool renovation looks great and i have no issue recommending Garry and his crew.

Listonia provided a fantastic service and product. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail and design suggestions were top notch. Listonia communicated with us throughout the journey and the team worked tirelessly to get the job done.

Listonia carried out landscaping around our pool from initial design to completion with 7-star quality. For Gary Condie and his staff nothing was too much trouble, and the work with the inevitable changes was undertaken with a friendly collaborative approach at all times - excellent customer service. I would recommend Listonia without any hesitation for their quality and reliability in all their work - and on budget and on time!

Garry is an excellent designer and built us a patio for a fire pit and a timber deck as well as redid our entire pool area with glass and replanted it He idoes a thorough job and communicated all the time The work is amazing and we are very happy with the outcome

We had just taken possession of a new home and needed, gardens, fencing, outdoor tiling and turfing done prior to moving in. Our landscaper had let us down last minute, and I contacted Garry and he was out the next day to look at property, provided us with a prompt quote and managed to fit us in between jobs. He was very professional, gave some great advice, was quick to get back with any enquiries or concerns. He communicated with us all through the project, making sure we were happy each step of the way. We are so happy with the finished project, the house looks fabulous and was completed on time. All the staff were also friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Garry and his team.

Gary listened to our vision and executed it better than we imagined. His whole team are polite, respectful and tidy! We are enjoying the final product immensely.

We engaged Garry and his team from Listonia Landscaping to design and create the landscape for our home and pool area and we couldn't be happier with the result, taking it from a tired old palm tree and golden cane mess to a beautiful native billabong oasis. From the initial consultation to the design, work and completed job, everything was done promptly, professionally, politely and within budget with no hidden surprises. I can't recommend them highly enough other than to say we love what they have done to our home and we're already planning our next project with them. 10/10

My wife and I began searching for a landscape design & construct contractor after speaking to numerous landscapers whom gave us little or no direction or ideas that really won us over until we found Listonia Landscaping. When we first meet the owner Garry, just speaking to him we were instantly assured that we had found the right professional contractor from the way he conducted himself in a very professional manner and eased our minds moving forward with our home project. The design stage was made easy after throwing around ideas with Garry's landscape architect Rob. The design that we received was overwhelming, we didn't think you could do that with our yard. We had minimal design changes made to suit our budget wants and needs. The first day on site just showed how professional Garry and his team really were and that our home and yard were in good hands. Garry notified us of any unforeseen issues immediately and handled them with minimal disruption to our project. Also Garry assisted us by project managing and supplying extra contractors to completing painting of our house plus replacement of rusted down pipes and damaged fascia boards. Friends and relatives think it looks like a resort. We live outside now and cannot stop going outside. One tip I would like to pass on with the design stage have an open mind because you may be amazed about the results. Thanks Garry to you and your team from our family

Garry and Kurt were absolutely great from start to finish. Reliable, honest, knowledgable and trustworthy. Garry gave great advice throughout the project and worked with us to fit the project within our budget. It was great to work with both Garry and Kurt and they always had a smile on their faces. We are so pleased with the finished result and would use them again for sure and recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much for all of your hard work.

Dealing with Gary was such a pleasure. Gary translated our ideas into exactly what we wanted at the budget we had. We are absolutely thrilled with he result. I cannot recommend Listonia enough.

Our brief to Garry was to design and build an outdoor room including retaining walls and landscaping linking indoor and outdoor living. The result is amazing.

We engaged Listonia Landscaping to lay silver travertine pavers in our front courtyard and patio. Garry was timely and professional during the quoting process and his engaging character encouraged us to choose his services over others. When it was time to carry out the work, this was done on time and with a high degree of consultation with us throughout job. Although our job was not large, it was definitely fiddly and Garry's attention to detail really came into play. If there was anything we wanted adjusted or changed during the job, Garry was happy to accommodate our wishes. The outcome was a very elegant entrance to our home with a beautifully laid "rug" of travertine. After the job was over we inadvertently broke two tiles when installing our spa and Garry responded and replaced those tiles within a few days of the damage being done.

We engaged Listonia Landscaping for a better outdoor living area which included new paving, new pool fence, outdoor kitchen and landscaping. The service provided throughout the project from quoting stage to completion was professionally delivered. I received followup calls after the quoting stage and received ongoing progress on the project. The project manager was onsite most days to ensure quality and on time completion. He showed a lot of care and interest on the end product for us. He paid attention to details and have been flexible to new ideas and changes throughout the project. The result of the landscaping work was innovative and professional.

We had to level our sloping backyard to created a reasonably level backyard four our future family. In addition to levelling the yard, we created required retaining walls and underground ag piping. Garry Condi is a good person and a pleasure to work with. He listened to all our ideas and gave us many other good ideas which we used. Seven (7) years after completion, we have had no problem with flooding, we often use the backyard and still are proud of the sandstone retaining wall. We recommend Garry.

Gary from Listonia Landscaping did fencing and retaining walls for our new house. Gary was very professional and courteous and the project was completed to a high standard on time for a reasonable cost. Highly recommended!

I was looking for someone to design and build a stone water feature, pond and fountain. I had contacted several trades people and received various quotes, some extremely expensive for roughly the same thing. I spoke to Gary about what I was looking for and he was very flexible in working with me on the design and the budget to get things right. We could not have been happier with the result and Gary worked verty hard and on a public holiday and weekends to get our feature finished in time for us to host a party, this was not expected but hugely appreciated. I would recommend Gary to anyone, he is a very affable and friendly person who does a brilliant job.

We have now engaged Listonia Landscaping for landscaping and outdoor building work on a number of occasions and at 2 different properties. On each occasion we have found Garry and his team to be prompt, hard-working and have fulfilled our expectations for the job each time. Garry's years of experience in the industry mean that he is always able to offer great advice. He always gave us clear estimates of costs and worked within the budgets we set. I have recommended Listonia Landscaping to a number of friends and will have no hesitation in doing so again.

I am very pleased with the work done which included garden beds, retaining wall, fencing and concreting. I would not hesitate to recommend Listonia Landscaping for any landscaping work.
