  • On behalf of Mowbray College I wish to extend our sincere appreciation for the three projects that you and you team at Shady Places have completed for us over the past two years. Your knowledge and suggestions on the types of structures that best suit our needs has been invaluable and your professional approach and rapport with clients easily outstrips that of your main competitors.

    We appreciate the ongoing relationship we have with you especially in regards to maintenance and the immediate advice on ways of improving our school grounds. Your professional team of workers has always conducted themselves in an appropriate manner in our school yard and I have received numerous positive comments about your work from our community members.

    All of the above incorporated with your competitive pricing schedule and quotes make it undeniable easy to recommend your company to other schools and organizations. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you and your company as required.

  • I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Shady Places, a business run by Steve Goodwin.

    Steve has provided excellent service to Baden Powell College on many occasions. The quotes provided have been very competitive and all projects have been completed on a timely manner. Steve is very professional in his business demeanour and very approachable when working in the school environment.

    Julie Mason,

  • We have used the services of Shady Places over the last 2 years. When initially seeking designs and pricing for a significant shade sail project we sought designs and quotes from a number of companies. The brief given to the companies was to provide something that had flair and was competitively priced. From our perspective Shady Places was the only company that fulfilled both components of the brief. We were extremely pleased with the final product and it has been the feature centre piece of our school.
