The work

Same yard, a few weeks apart.

Every photo below was taken by the customer whose yard it is, and posted on our Google listing by them. Nothing here is a stock photo of somebody else's garden.

Project one

A retain and pave makeover

“Brayden and his team have done a fabulous retain and pave makeover for us. A couple of unforeseen moments but work arounds were no problem. Most personable, good communication, reliable, efficient, tidy and considerate on site.”

Project two

Four months away, one garden back

Clean-up, pruning, beds redefined, mulch

On the tools

Our own machine, our own tipper.

Excavation, fence removal and green waste all happen in house, so a job does not stop while we wait on a hire yard or a bin.

Services

All aspects of landscaping.

Most of our work is the hard landscaping that changes the shape of a block, but we also keep gardens looking after themselves once the building is done.

Retaining walls

Sleeper and block walls set out on string lines, posts concreted in, drainage behind. The job most often asked for and the one most often photographed afterwards.

Fencing

Timber and Colorbond, straight lines and square gates. Arnel Fencing supply the sheets and have put our installs up on their own page.

Paving

Charcoal pavers, brick, stepping paths and full patio areas, laid to fall so water goes where it should.

Concreting

Driveways, footpaths, slabs and crossovers. Formed up, poured and finished, including widening a single drive to a double.

Excavation

Our own mini excavator on site, so cut and fill, trenching, stump work and levelling all happen without waiting on a hire company.

Turf installation and prep

Ground prepped properly first, graded and topped, then turf laid tight so the joins knit in rather than dry out.

Yard clean-ups

Overgrown blocks cut back, green waste loaded and carted away in our own tipper. Handy if you have been away and come home to a jungle.

Garden maintenance

Beds weeded, edges cut in, mulch topped up and plants pruned back to shape. Regular visits or a one off tidy.

Lawn mowing

Mowing, edging and blowing down, on a schedule that suits how fast things grow up here.

Landscaping, all aspects

Whole yard makeovers where the walls, paving, turf and planting are all done by the one crew, in the right order.

About

Local, owner operated, and on the tools.

NQ Landscape Solutions is run by Brayden out of Edmonton, working across Cairns and the southern suburbs. The business started out doing garden maintenance, which is still where a lot of customers first meet us, and grew into the heavier work: walls, fences, concrete and excavation.

What customers keep writing about is not the machinery. It is turning up when we said we would, sending the quote and the invoice on time, and the price at the end matching the price at the start.

“Brayden is one of the most professional tradies I have encountered in Cairns. He turned up when he said he would, sent me quotes and invoices promptly and my new retaining wall cost the estimated amount.”

How a job goes

No surprises at the invoice.

01

You call or email

Tell us the block, the problem and roughly what you picture. Photos of the spot help more than anything.

We come and look

Levels, access and drainage decide half of what a job costs, and none of that can be judged from a phone.

03

A written quote

Sent through promptly, with the price broken down. What we quote is what gets invoiced.

04

We build it and clean up

Our own excavator and tipper on site, green waste carted away, and the place swept before we leave.

Brayden is one of the most professional tradies I have encountered in Cairns. He turned up when he said he would, sent me quotes and invoices promptly and my new retaining wall cost the estimated amount. I would recommend this company for a fence or retaining wall if you want professional communication.

These guys turned our single driveway into a double fit with a new footpath. Half our retaining wall had to be cut out to do so, and they gave it a little face lift after the new driveway was laid. Our front yard space looks fantastic. Brayden and the team were always on time, we had good communication, cleaned up after the job was done and just a bunch of really friendly blokes. Will definitely use again and definitely recommending to our friends!

COULD NOT FAULT SERVICE!!! 10/10 Our garden heavily required attention as we were away from our property for 4 months and the team at NQ Garden Maintenance were fantastic! Their communication, reliability, service, pricing, timing was outstanding. The garden now looks amazing and we are both very pleased with their work. They certainly deserve the 5 stars and I will be recommending them to anyone that would like their gardens maintained.
