Al Fresco Garden & Property Maintenance

My parents who are pensioners used this company today. They were asked to sign their quote to trim two hedges, two hours work for $290 approx at $60 per hour per person. They agreed and Alfresco turned up and did a great job, no problem there. But they only took two hours (turned up at 8.30 and left at 10.30). Then Alfresco called and said they would have to charge more as they were there for three hours (for two hedges? Really?). They sent an invoice at $70 per hour and tried to charge an extra $100 above the original signed quote. (You cant legally charge above an agreed quote). My parents unfortunately paid this invoice. Just a warning to others. Do not pay above the agreed quote! Especially if they change the hourly rate and hours. Very unprofessional and money gouging. Especially to pensioners.

The Al Fresco team were at Nelson Community Potters bright and early this morning making short work of a gnarly, stubborn stump that was holding up the building of our new kiln shed. Whats more the grounds afterwards were immaculate. Awesome work Al Fresco!

Very happy with Al Fresco, after a big job they sent the foreman to check the work. Efficient, great communication and top notch service. Great scope of work for the price. Definitely Recommend. Service: Landscape design

The fence lines of our lifestyle block paddocks had become overgrown. Hay had been cut over several years but the edges had not been addressed so were out of control with blackberry and thick grass. We didn't have the equipment needed so I phoned Wendy and Andrew and received a reply promptly. They were there the next day to inspect and advise. Andrew arrived with his great cutting and mulching machine and he went for it! For such a compact machine it is surprising how it can rip into the work. Andrew obviously loving the challenge too. Very happy with the results. I will be using Al Fresco again. We have more work to do, this time, prickly hawthorn which Andrew advises he will cut and mulch at the same time. Nothing seemed a problem and Andrew and Wendy are a very pleasant couple to deal with. I also liked their honesty about how long the job was expected take. Service: Lawn mowing & maintenance

I have been looking for a reliable company to remove and trim some trees on my property. My neighbours recommended Al Fresco who had done a great job of some recent garden work they had done for a great price. I contacted Wendy and she replied promptly and organised a quote despite recent weather events making it difficult for their team to be out and about. Wendy understood exactly what I wanted done and the 2 men who were assigned the job were efficient, friendly and helpful. They left the area looking tidy and passed on some tips for future landscaping. The work was well priced and the best quote of all I looked into. I would recommend Al Fresco to other neighbours, friends and colleagues wanting property work done in a timely and professional manner. JV - Nelson. Service: Yard work
