What customers say again and again

Read enough of them and the same things keep coming up.

Reliable and on time

Arrives when he says, turns up each day, and gets the job done inside the timescale he gave. It comes up in review after review.

Clean and tidy

Clears up at the end of every day and takes all the waste away. Customers say it looks like they were never there.

Honest on price

The price quoted is the price charged. No jobs added on to raise the quote, and more than one customer mentions money knocked off.

Great communication

Kept informed at every stage, text updates on arrival times, and honest advice on what does and does not need doing.

High standard

Attention to detail and quality of workmanship are the two phrases customers reach for most, on fences, patios, decks and full gardens alike.

They come back

A lot of these are second, third and fourth jobs for the same customer. The clearest signal there is.

Landscaped our garden

We couldn't be happier with our landscapers. From start to finish the whole experience was seamless, professional, reliable and the attention to detail was incredible. They completely transformed our outdoor space and brought our vision to life even better than we imagined.

Landscaping, levelling and new fences

We had a really tricky job of landscaping and levelling our garden and putting up new fences. From the moment Dan came round and quoted he was honest, reliable and came up with solutions for tricky issues. We are absolutely delighted with the results. Dan and his team were all so tidy and respectful.

Bespoke garden room and landscaping

Dan and his team completed a bespoke garden room build along with landscaping works for me. From idea conception through to completion Dan has been brilliant achieving the build and finish I required. The garden room was completely bespoke and customised to suit my space and purpose.

Conservatory rebuild

We had our conservatory rebuilt by Danny and his team and couldn't be happier. Professional, tidy, and respectful of our space. Any issues that came up were clearly explained, and they always had proactive, well-thought-out solutions ready. The quality of the work is fantastic.

Re-turf, storage shed and raised composite deck

Dan and the team completely transformed our garden. They installed a concrete base for a garden storage shed, a fantastic raised composite patio area, and laid a complete layer of heavy-duty turf. The team made sure to leave the site clean and tidy every day.

Fencing and composite decking

Danny and his team were brilliant from start to finish. The workmanship and finish, from Joe on the fencing to Danny, Steve and Andy on the composite decking, was unbelievable. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Would 100% recommend and use again.

New sandstone patio

We had Dan and his team lay a new raised sandstone patio and we are very happy with the workmanship. They were on time, clean and tidy, professional and polite. We have been so pleased we have asked him back to lay another two areas in sandstone.

Slab breaking and patio removal

I was very happy with the price quoted to me, but when it came to paying, Daniel knocked some money off the price, which I was pleasantly surprised with. He was friendly. I've already asked for a quote on another job.

New fencing and patio relay

Dan was the only tradesman that visited to give a quote. He arrived when he said he would and was available to contact throughout the job. Knowledgeable, friendly and honest. Didn't feel as if he was adding jobs on top to raise the quote. His team were punctual and efficient and left no mess.

New garden landscaping over three weeks

Dan, Andy and Drew worked solidly over three weeks to transform our garden even with terrible weather. We now have completed fencing all the way round, a concrete base for a future garden building and a new lawn, plus a lot of brickwork completed and steps relocated.

Front garden, wheelchair-accessible path

Daniel and his team worked wonders on my front garden. It was an awkward job, in particular the pathway which needed to be made usable for a wheelchair user. The results will make things so much easier and safer. They communicated regularly about the work and the timeline.

New fences

This is the second time I have had Daniel fit fences and wouldn't go anywhere else. The service is outstanding, no fussing about from the initial contact to the work being carried out.

Garden room build and landscaping

Pricing was transparent and competitive. The team were very proactive in resolving issues as they arose, suggesting changes to improve my initial specification. Attention to detail was commendable and the quality of the workmanship was high, resulting in an immaculate finish.
