Tonkin Stone & Landscapes, Mobile Service

I had castlemaine slate paving put down and Caleb was knowedgeable and very easy to deal with. He is a perfectionist and obviously loves his craft

I had part of the courtyard landscaped and Caleb was very willing to take on board my requirements with the design. He did a fantastic job on the sandstone paving and lawn edged with redgum sleepers.

A pleasure to work with, Caleb was always very professional and very flexible in tailoring the job to suit my many demands and budget!

Caleb landscaped our backyard in Brighton and did a great job. He built a 26m retaining wall, wooden feature screens and large bench seats cantilevered off the wall. He also made us an in-ground trampoline, which has been very popular with our kids and any kids that come over. He did some great paving too using 1m x 1m pavers. Using these pavers (and skill with a grinder!) he made two boxes which serve as seats. They are pavers on all sides, with neatly mitred joints and we often get comments from friends as to how great they look.

I can highly recommend Caleb if you are looking for a good landscaper. Due to the nature of our project (large and unsure of the exact scope) he worked on an hourly rate, but we always found him to be very hard working, efficient and very tidy. His attention to detail and passion for his work is second to none.

Caleb built a large raised bluestone planter box which we use for veggies and herbs. It is a dry wall, so every stone was painstakingly worked to fit like pieces in a puzzle. The end result was better than I could have imagined. Caleb is very passionate about his craft, a highly skilled artisan, of which unfortunately of which there are few left.

We had an area of brick paving done, which had to tie in as neatly as possible with existing paving. The end result was that it is impossible to detect where the old paving stops and the new paving starts. Also we had about 30 metres of brick garden edging done, in free flowing lines rather than in rigid square lines. Both jobs were done exactly as we wanted, on time and with no mess left at the end.

Caleb's attention to detail and ability to apply our ideas into a physical structure was fabulous. He shows a real passion for his craft and this is exemplified by the quality of his work. We would not hesitate to recommend him and intend to use his services again in the future.

Calob picked up a difficult job with difficult stone. A feat of persistance, done with care with the added stress of being sympathetic to existing works by others.
