10 Garden landscaping and patio drainage installation
Posted 07 August
Des was really good start to finish. Reviewed the job thoroughly and provided a quote promptly. He gave a very fair price. His team arrived on time and were polite. Des even fixed a couple things which were not in the quote...he is the kind of person who won't leave things if he sees them and can fix it easily. We are really happy with the finish. I could hear him managing the team and ensuring everything was done properly and our property was left clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: GU34 - SSharon M

Des and the team had done some work and I asked about an issue with my block paved drive. Des explained what was required and gave me a quote. He texted me to say that they could do the job the next day. As always they were super friendly and the job was done to a high standard.Verified reviewerJob location: GU14- AAndrea L
