What Our Customers Have To Say
We are so glad that we have finally built this recreational pond with SJC Landscapes. Our
only regret would be that we didn’t do it sooner. Not only was the team a pleasure to work
with. They also created a wonderful outdoor area for us all to enjoy. Now we are outside all
the time. This pond was built in what would probably be the most challenging of times
when floods were hitting our area. So it presented itself with many challenges, but Stephen
and his team handled it fantastically and always kept us in the loop of what was happening. We can’t thank them enough. We would recommend Stephen and his team of SJC Landscapes to anyone. You will be in good hands.

I employed Stephen from SJC Landscapes to assist in building my dream of a gorgeous recreational swimming pond to life. The results of the project are absolutely beautiful and the whole family loved it! Throughout the project Stephen was always willing to hear my input including taking on specific design requests that I had, and promptly assisting to resolve some concerns we had post completion. His communication both in person and on the phone/email has been thorough and respectful at all times and his team of landscapers were lovely also.

“Stephen is a great person for this type of work. He loves what he does, and does all he does very well. He built me a swim pond with a 7m stream, a large wetland filter, two water falls with a beach as to walk into the pond, a good size intake bay and skimmer box and of course all lights up at night, it all just works well. My wife is over the moon with the whole thing it’s her spot to just relax and feed all the large fish. I have already asked Stephen to quote some more works, not pond related, I am confident that Stephen will do whatever it takes to make me happy as a costumer. It’s great to work with you Stephen, keep it up mate.

We are absolutely blown away with the ecosystem swimming pond SJC built for us – the wetland, fish, shallow habitat areas, diving and deep swimming spaces, chill cove and beach combine to produce a space that has far exceeded our expectations. Everyone that sees it simply can’t believe that such a thing is even possible – it’s so much more than just somewhere to swim for a few months of the year. The local wildlife has discovered it, with plenty of happy frogs, tadpoles and even a turtle moving in to what was once just an empty patch of grass. After working on designs for a few different natural swimming pools/ponds with other builders across Australia that somehow weren’t what we were after – or could afford, working with SJC was such a breath of fresh air. Stephen was always willing to listen, adapt, and provide advice from his experience to produce a perfect outcome, that are very happy to recommend SJC for any similar builds.

Our brief to Stephen was for a small pond with a waterfall and native vegetation that would enhance our backyard, would be wildlife friendly and also low maintenance. Stephen was attentive to our needs and listened to what we had in mind, whilst bringing his own creativity to the project. We are thrilled with the result and we frequently get compliments from our visitors. Stephen is highly experienced and he has a great eye. His professionalism and attention to detail extended to the careful laying of large rocks in the vicinity of our free ranging hens. The whole experience was smooth and stress free for us. He was on time, kept us up to date of any change or hitches that occurred along the way and his project came in in accordance with the quote given. His passion for this work is obvious. Stephen is providing us with ongoing maintenance so that we can fit pond owning into our busy lifestyle. Now we can sit on our balcony having a drink and enjoying the sound of the waterfall. We can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone looking to install a water feature.

Stephen submitted very creative design for my backyard, transforming backyard from drab and badly managed by the previous owners into immaculate and low maintenance garden. Communication with Stephen’s company perfectly fit with outline of desired features in the garden – including constructing fishpond, creating vegie beds, irrigation, footpaths, and more. Ease of communication and finding mutually acceptable criteria of design and work schedule. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephen’s company as one of the best I knew in landscape business.

After botching a DIY we were desperate for someone to come and help us out. Stephen responded and went above and beyond to assist us. What he built for us was amazing! We couldn’t have even imagined something so natural and beautiful let alone build it! We LOVE our new water feature!! It has transformed an ugly, uninspiring area that we only went to if we had to, to one of tranquillity and upliftment. Now we often just sit nearby and listen to the gentle waterfall and soak in all the peace it brings :) Stephen has so much vision and talent and we would absolutely, thoroughly recommend him.

It is my pleasure to recommend our landscaper, Stephen Caruana.Stephen understood our brief, was a great listener, communicator and very hard-working. He kept us fully informed the whole time; making useful suggestions to save us money and help us make decisions along the way. Most importantly we are really happy with the end result. Thank you Stephen.
