93%"We initially engaged Lester and Co to undertake a refurbishment and modernisation of our rear patio and back yard area. This included the removal of existing decorative and windbreak screens, the uplifting of paving bricks and the back fence also involving the replacement of the back fence, concreting of the old patio area ready for the laying of porcelain tiles, the levelling of the rear lawn including retaining walls, sleeper garden perimeters and treated new soil, laying of ready lawn and… new soil for the garden and beautiful Kwila screens designed and constructed by Flyn. Simultaneously our neighbour decided to cut down the 'shared' enormous bamboo hedge and erect 60 lineal metres of fencing bordering our property. Consequently in addition to our original contract Flyn and crew were engaged to remove the bamboo roots and replace the soil ready for tree planting.
The first day of work fell on the day of the level 4 lock down, at the time it was announced half of our patio had been removed along with the back fence. They erected a mesh fence as a temporary measure. I would say that perhaps our contract was far longer in duration because of the lock down. Flyn, Scott and Nick were obliging and friendly to work with, nothing was too much for them.
Due the lock down we understood that Lesters would have to attend other projects, which conveniently gave us the opportunity to 'amend' some project designs and ideas. Flyn designed and recommended construction and aesthetic ideas,( including a lighting electrician referral), that added to the project in a positive way. Lester and Co were fair with pricing and provided great value for the investment. The workmanship is first class we would (and have) recommended Lester & Co. A project 'well done' from our point of view."Rating by: Max | Rating posted: 27th Aug, 2020 | Contact: Flyn Lester | Job date: Aug, 2020Max•27th Aug, 2020•More details…

88%"We approached Lester & Co as we needed a solution to provide a quick and effective screen on our boundary after the neighbours cut down all the trees on their section. Flyn was really pleasant to deal with and clearly very knowledgeable, offering good suggestions and options for us to consider for our project. They worked quickly to remove part of our existing decking and build a planter box along the edge of our boundary, also providing some much needed support/reinforcement to the deck… itself in the process. We are really happy with the end result and would definitely recommend them for their workmanship and pleasant manner."Rating by: Philippa | Rating posted: 2nd Feb, 2020 | Contact: Flyn Lester | Job date: Jan, 2020Philippa•2nd Feb, 2020•More details…

100%"Flyn and Nick did a fantastic job putting in a new retaining wall for our property. They were courteous, professional, hard working and are happy to explain and answer any questions I have. They also finished the job leaving the entire work area clean and tidy!
I would definitely recommend them for any landscaping work.

100%"We used Lester & Co for an extensive landscaping project that involved a new driveway, levelling our front yard, retaining, drainage, concrete steps and path, creating and planting garden beds, an irrigation system, outdoor lighting, laying a new lawn and lots of fencing. We are thrilled with the results and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Flyn Lester/Lester & Co to others.
We found Flyn to be easily contactable, very easy to work with, completely honest and reliable.… Our project was quite fluid when we started and Flyn had great ideas and solutions to any problems that cropped up along the way and completed the work to a very high standard. He also organised all the subcontractors. He and his team are very considerate, friendly and trustworthy and keep the work site very tidy (as much as you can).

We thought Flyn’s rates were very competitive. Although a project of our size was a large investment, it has transformed our property and how we use it and we don’t regret any of it. We’ve had Flyn back for another job and won’t be considering anyone else when we redo the backyard. In fact, our initial project was so big that Flyn became a part of the family.

The quality of work was to an excellent standard and Flyn was more than happy to do the little extras that came up as the job progressed. Very impressed overall and would definitely use them again."Rating by: Chris | Rating posted: 4th Dec, 2018 | Contact: Flyn Lester | Job date: Oct, 2018Chris•4th Dec, 2018•More details…

100%"Flyn and his team completed a variety of jobs at our property, including building new fencing and gates to keep our new puppy safe. They also repaired sections of our house, installed a new washing line, and added walkway tiles, planting and finishing down the side of the property.
Flyn was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He was patient, considered and courteous. He did a fantastic job and nothing was too much trouble.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Flyn and his… team, in fact I’ve raved about him to anyone who will listen. I think we are extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable and honest tradesperson, and I look forward to the next chance we have to use their services again."Rating by: Jon | Rating posted: 6th Apr, 2018 | Contact: Flyn Lester | Job date: Mar, 2018Jon•6th Apr, 2018•More details…

Flyn and Craig were meticulous in their finish to all aspects of these and to the adjoining new fence and gate. Their additional design suggestions and total cleanup at the end were really appreciated.
We have recommended Lester & Co to a friend with a similar project."Rating by: Peter | Rating posted: 8th Jan, 2018 | Contact: Flyn Lester | Job date: Dec, 2017Peter•8th Jan, 2018•More details…

100%"Flyn and his team have been responsible for transforming our sloping, clay,backyard into an amazing space over the last few months. It started as the replacement of some old failing retaining walls, then expanded to include fencing, a new patio, and lawns. They were reliable, considerate and willing to share their experience and ideas. What was also really appreciated, as this wasn't a quick job, was the way they left the place tidy, every day without fail. Even better, all the drainage work… that they did has been well tested with the recent weather bombs and passed with flying colours!.

Flyn and his team promptly arrived at my place as arranged, and without wasting any time, got stuck in with chain saws, clippers and spades. Four hours later this little garden was transformed into a beautiful sanctuary that I will treasure and try to maintain myself, if not it will definitely be Lester & Co to the rescue again.

It is so hard to know who is going to do a good job or not, but from the start we could tell that it was all going to be good. The job was done well, on time and within the quote. They tidied up after themselves and let us know what was going on. Thank you for such a good job, and we will be back in touch if (when) we have more work to be done. Thank you… for doing such a good job, taking the stress out of the work and making a great stand for builders who want to be know for a good reputation - you are certainly getting a good reputation if our job was anything like your "normal".

Flyn is an excellent contractor who has employed three very good and hard working men. They are all extremely easy to get on with and do an excellent job. In fact, the fence on the street boundary has attracted a great amount of favourable comment and resulted in Flyn being asked to construct another fence for a passer-by at his property. I highly recommend Flyn. As can be seen from other comments, he is a master tradesman."
