I cannot comprehend how this man is still in business! I would have given no stars if that was an option. I purchased a grass tree from him a year ago. After multiple attempts at arrange the delivery and installation of the tree we had picked and with different excuses such as a cyclone in QLD, the tree we had purchased was stolen? And then the… Read more
truck broke down!!!! I was losing my patience! Then I came home from work to find a grass tree planted in my garden. 10 months later it starts to die. Numerous calls and emails with no response what so ever. It’s as if he had dropped off the face of the earth! Now I have to try and find money for a new tree. Run as fast as you can from this dodgy company!!! I would have donated the thousand dollars to a charity rather than this low life!
We purchased a bottle tree and grass tree from the Brisbane home show. When we purchased the trees, we explained that we couldn’t have them installed immediately because we were having renovation started and would be the best part of the year. Margaret River trees had no issues with this. We dealt with multiple staff over the next six months just… Read more
to ensure we were having no issues. We finally had one of their staff visited at our home to organise delivery and the installation of both our trees. We tried consecutively multiple times to send photos, text messages and phone calls to no avail. I once contacted Mike and he assured me the trees would be organised and delivered without delay. That was my last phone call that was answered. Please do not make the mistake of trusting Margaret River trees. We still don’t have our trees and it is now 2026. Very disappointed as the Brisbane home show were more than happy to display their trees.
This is by far the worst experience I have had with any company. I purchased a tree for $2,250 at the Sydney Home Show from Mike. I was given a receipt and the contact details of his delivery driver to organise delivery. The delivery process was extremely difficult. The driver cancelled twice, and on another occasion did not show up without any… Read more
notice after we stayed home from work to take delivery.
After being unable to get delivery, I contacted Mike in December. He advised that the worker was no longer with him. I expressed that I understood delays can happen and that I was prepared to be patient, but I also raised concerns about the welfare of the trees in Sydney given he confirmed he no longer had anyone locally to water or manage them, as he is based in Perth. He said he would sort it out.
Mike then promised he would personally deliver the tree to me in mid-January. This did not happen, and no further contact was made.
It has now been three and a half months since I paid, which I consider an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a tree to be delivered.
After I shared my experience on my own social media without naming the business, I was contacted privately by multiple people who said they had experienced similar issues. I can only speak for my own experience.
I have since requested a full refund, as I have not received the tree I paid for.
I am sharing this so others can make an informed decision and would strongly encourage potential customers to read reviews across multiple platforms before purchasing.

Paid money for a tree, have a receipt & bank transaction. Been waiting for delivery since April 2025, can’t even get a phone call or email reply. Buyer beware, take your tree when you pay for it, don’t trust this business. We are filing a small claims case, but the wait for a hearing is very long. Happy to go to ACA if enough consumers can support a case. Email: blundelljen@icloud.com
Never got my tree. Do not purchase. Paid in full $552. Sent receipt and photo of tree as proof and was then ghosted. Went to collect myself and all trees on site were dead or dying. My tree was nowhere to be found. Asked for refund and no response. Mike the owner will not reply to any calls, text or emails
Do your research before parting with your money. Within 6 months of planting a grass tree and dragon tree from Margaret River Trees, both trees started showing signs of ill health. It took months for Margaret River Trees to respond to repeated phone calls, texts and emails for advice and help until such time that both trees have now died (all… Read more
other plants and trees in my garden are healthy). The NSW manager finally agreed to replace the grass tree, however since that time they have continued to avoid all calls texts and emails. It has now been a year since I first contacted them and nothing has happened.

Be very, very wary. Victorian sold trees are infested with the Bardi grub (Longicorn beetle, Bardistus cibarius). Trees will appear healthy and then limb by limb die. The tree will then collapse as shown in the attached photo. The owner of the company [Name Removed] (also operating as Margaret River Trees)is fully aware that the plants he is… Read more
selling are affected. The bug is a WA bug and cannot be treated. If you buy from this company unfortunately you will loose your grass tree and the company will be uncontactable for recourse on their 12 month warranty. Purchased 2 substantial and affected trees August 24. Still in warranty period. Please do your research
Beware do not buy from this company – Totally pathetic services do not buy from this company at all
Fabulous Outcome – Very friendly and knowledgeable staff from the Qld team who assisted in getting our grass tree installed. The care and placement of our tree was executed in a very professional manner. I was given lots of explanation throughout the whole process to ensure a long lasting healthy tree. They went above and beyond our expectation and will be highly recommended. Top marks to our two installers from a very highly satisfied customer.
Shocking experience – Purchased 2 x dragon trees plus various corteen pots from the Home Show Darling Harbour 21.05.21 where they were exhibiting. We paid upfront $6550.00 Inv.1214 They held the items for us till we moved into our new home mid Sept.21. Took pictures of the trees at the time of purchase and when they arrived 1 of them had yellow leaves. At no point did… Read more
they tell us that the planters that they were supplying didn't have bases. Since it was viewed at an exhibition centre on a cement & tiled floor we had no reason to believe that they were only supplying a ring of corteen. We had to pay an additional amount of approximately 2200.00 to have corteen bases welded onto the planter rings. We emailed [Name Removed] several times, he never replied. Tried calling him many times, he wouldn't take the calls and never called back. Sent emails showing a $2920.00 tree that was yellow. No answer. That tree is now dead. When we took it out of the planter we found that there were no roots. Then took the other one out of the other planter (which still has some leaves on it and also starting to go yellow) to see if that had roots, same story no roots. We have been duped, cheated, swindled. Once [Name Removed] had our money he didn't want to know us.
Absolutely fantastic trees and installation by bloke from yard, professionals at work great – Trees are now thriving, well worth the money for installation, helpful staff and Boab trees magnificent,Thx guys. I will be looking for more soon on our next projects thanks guys
Great grass trees love them – Very friendly and helpful staff, we are sooo happy with our new trees, they look amazing! They have completely transformed our garden. They even gave us a warranty with the trees which we thought was great!
Fabulous service – We have had 4 grass trees installed the largest of which was on a sharp incline up a driveway which is very steep. How this was managed was amazing. They would not give up until the difficult job was done to our satisfaction. I was amazed. The trees supplied are very healthy and thriving. I recommend this company well due to my personal experience
