I've loved working with Sue on my new home landscaping plans! Being the first time I've ever built, I started from a point of really not knowing anything about what I wanted - at all! Sue has been very patient, knowledgeable, and happy to work through ideas that suit my personality with low maintenance options, while not compromising on quality. I'm so excited to now be near the end of home construction, and am very much looking forward to seeing Sue's plans come to life.

I could not recommend Grotec strongly enough. Finding quality people to work with you and deliver what they say when they promise is a very hard thing to find in our world today. Sue and her team are very professional. They listen to your ideas and offer extremely wise input to turn your dreams into reality. No problem is too large for them to solve and they are super responsive and always available when you call. I would not look anywhere else!

This is the most wonderful company to deal with. Sue has a delightful, sunny disposition with a forever smile and full of creative insights. Jarred, a great guy, works behind the scenes and delivers high quality work on schedule. We are in the process of having a huge landscape makeover-the plans created by Sue and Jarred were superb with great attention to detail. Lovely people to deal with. Reliable. Good value. Recommend them to anyone without reservation

Thank you to the team at Grotec for their assistance all the way through our landscaping project. It has been an amazing journey. The design and execution were varied and complex from the waters edge with rendered large retainer walls, boat area, self-watering pots on the patio and by the pool, outdoor shower, a front garden with a new drive for our motor home. All the quality trades and professionals that Sue introduced has resulted in landscaping which has totally transformed the way we experience the outdoors and will enhance our life for years to come! We love the garden and can see how

After moving into our home 2 years ago, we spent a lot of time contemplating how to landscape the front of the house.
Luckily we found Sue and the Grotec team who converted our ideas into an exciting transformation. From the start they listened to our thoughts and we found them extremely knowledgeable and professional. Together with a great landscaping construction team headed by Anthony, the results are beyond our expectations. Thank you Grotec! From Trevor and Michelle, Reedy Creek.
