Our Client Testimonials
A new build on a slopping block left us scratching our heads. Jake and the team from LBC, along with his designer were quick to offer amazing design ideas that worked with our vision and our family. Jake’s design, construction and horticultural skills and knowledge were outstanding. The LBC team were friendly, reliable, punctual, and professional. Jake went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with the incredible result.

Jake Martin transformed our back garden from a well-used but tired space into a modern area that included paved courtyard, lawn, gardens and new retainer wall. Jake took a personal approach to the landscaping, making recommendations about the design to ensure the end result would meet our needs, be functional and look right in relation to the house. He was very tolerant when we were indecisive and paid particular attention to the design and use of materials for the best result.

Jake's work on our front garden was fantastic. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Jake and his team were great to work with and organised everything that was needed. I would definitely recommend his work to anyone.
Anita Scott-Murphy, Port Melbourne
We recently engaged Jake to implement a landscaping plan we had developed. We had a tight timeline and a movable brief and Jake did a fabulous job working within those constraints. The quality of his work was excellent. He was also reliable, punctual and great at coming up with solutions to any problems he encountered along the way. He was also good at providing accurate estimates prior to commencing work which was much appreciated. We will continue to use Jake for future work at our house and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Jake and his team recently cleared and transformed a section of our garden by creating a dry riverbed using grades of river pebbles and suitable plants along with decking, walkway and constructed a raised vegetable garden.
In our planning stages Jake was very accommodating while taking a brief of the types of plants we liked and ideas we had, before coming up with a detailed plan for discussion. Once work began the team were punctual, worked hard all day and each night left the work site clean, neat and tidy. While the work was being carried out, Jake was constantly giving us an update on progress.
Jake and his team exceeded our expectations and would not hesitate to recommend them as they have a real passion and enjoyment of their work and its outcome. We have since employed Jake and his team to attend to our garden on a regular basis.

To Jake and the team, thanks for transforming our back yard. Your recommendations and suggestions throughout the project were priceless. There is no way we would have ended up with such a great space without you. Thanks again!
Dave, Northcote
Jake Martin and I have worked together frequently over the past 11 years. We have crossed paths on numerous common jobs and I have also regularly subcontracted for him. Over this time I have found him to be honest and reliable. His work is of a high standard with excellent attention to detail. He has excellent rapport with his clients and workers alike. Jake has been highly professional in all his dealings with me and it is with pleasure that I recommend him for his Builder's Licence.
