I have been ripped off by dad Arthur and son Brett for $40,000. Asphalt driveway. Have been waiting over 18 months. Have had 3 further quotes from decent companies, each one has said the stone base on driveway , is very poor quality. Not one, of these companies, will asphalt on this base. Arthur(Bretts Dad) ordered the stones and paid for them. Arthur claims he has been asphalting for 30 years called me little girlie that knows nothing and these companies would not put in writing state of driveway. Wrong Arthur. 2 have, 3rd still waiting on quote. 3 drains delivered by Brett for driveway are garden drains, not driveway drains. None of the 3 companies will use them I'm out of pocket for $40,000 Spoke to another victim. He's been ripped off for a few thousand. Is there anymore victim out there?? Brett rents a house, so unable to come after him legally. He is man of straws. When l asked for my money back from Arthur (Dad) He claims he is no longer part of the business. Yet he does all the ordering and bill paying and worked on my driveway good Friday this year. He claims he's a sick man and can't walk pass the letter box When l said l was going to consult a lawyer. He called me a stupid girlie and threatened to shoot me. Then wanted to come to my place do this face to face. I refused, needed to organise witnesses. Plus the fact that he said he would shoot me. Funny can't go pass the letter box.

Warning: Donvale Creative Gardens & Design It pains me to post this message however it is a warning to alert you if you were looking for landscapers then please avoid these guys. For what should have taken 3 months, we were 6 months in and still incomplete. Our asphalt driveway has to be ripped up because it is too soft, our rock walls were never cemented therefore unsafe, gazebo roof not completed, gazebo ceiling has no beading to cover gaps, unpainted, fences only got 1 coat of paint and the list could go on. They do not respond to phone calls or text messages. We can go a week without any work or explanations. Their work day starts with breakfast at 9.30am, start to pack up by 2pm and leave by 2.30pm. Our patience has run thin and so we finally sacked them. Please have nothing to do these guys or you will regret it.
