10 My once neglected gardens have been completely transformed, thanks to Dave!

Unfortunately, I am one of those persons, who, whilst appreciating well kept gardens, has absolutely no interest whatsoever in maintaining mine! Therefore & when Dave was recommended to me, several years ago, he proved to be like the proverbial "breath of fresh air" & as a result of the standard of his work, I now employ his services on a regular basis each year. He's a very hardworking, diligent & methodical tradesman, being one who keeps his customers well informed as necessary & undertakes an excellent job throughout, including tidying up the worksite afterwards.Verified reviewerJob location: SO19 10 Top job!
