    Retaining wall, tarmac & gravel

    Posted 24 March

    Very happy with the job here by Austin & Farrar. I liked Steve's pragmatic approach. The job was kept to what was requested, unnecessary work was avoided and it was all done for a fair price. The brick wall looks great and should last much longer than any timber options would have. The site was always left very clean and tidy at the end of each work day.
