Job location: TN38Sometimes you're lucky to find a tradesperson that genuinely will stay in your phone book for all the right reasons and Les is one of those guys. He turned up when he said he would, knew what he was on about and quoted a fair price for the work and expertise he has. The job was done promptly and tidily and is exactly what we wanted. Will definitely go back to Les when other jobs are needed. 10 Replacement drive gulley.

After reviewing several similar companies we decided on First Class Groundworks. Les was most helpful in deciding the best option and the best bricks. The estimate was satisfactory and the work began before the expected date. The staff were polite, very industrious, and even regular rain showers didn't prevent their progress. The job was completed in 4 days and completely tidied up. All in all we're very pleased with the end result and neighbours have complimented the finish. We have no reservations in recommending First Class Groundworks for such work.Verified reviewerJob location: TN35
