We recently had new lawn turf laid in our garden and are extremely pleased with the results. The turf was of excellent quality—lush, green, and evenly cut—and was clearly sourced from a reputable supplier. The installation was handled professionally, with great attention to detail and care taken during preparation and laying. The team ensured proper alignment, good soil contact, and clear aftercare guidance. In terms of value, the service was competitively priced and well worth the investment, especially considering the dramatic improvement to the overall appearance of the garden.Verified reviewerJob location: GU1210 Great value!

Dear customer,We at Farnborough and Border Services would like to introduce ourselves as your local landscaper and general builder.
Most of our work is carried out on the exterior of your property from re-pointing your chimney to fencing the perimeter of your garden. We have so much knowledge and experience and can make a real statement for your home. We can work to a budget and have many cost cutting ideas. As we were born locally we have many good contacts and use local suppliers so our supply and labour costs are second to none.
I have many customers who would be more than happy for you to contact them regarding our work and have a portfolio for you to look at. We try to recycle and use eco-friendly materials as often as possible.
All works are carried out with insurance giving you peace of mind whilst your work is being carried out with a professional and cheerful team that understands the customer is always right. A high percentage of our work is from repeat customers or recommendations... We offer OAP discounts and have special offers on Indian sandstone patios.
For a unique and honest experience and for service with a smile please call Des..............look forward to hearing from you.
