Job location: SO52Martin and his team were fantastic. Really great communication around the job being completed including timescales. Martin communicated effectively once the work had been completed with invoicing and checked we were happy with the work. We are absolutely chuffed and will be asking Martin and the team back to do more garden work for us in the future. In this day and age it can be daunting asking for tradesman but Martin and his team did a brilliant job and I would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much for doing a fantastic job with our garden. 10 Bamboo removed

Martin and his team team did a great job removing a very troublesome bamboo, levelling the garden and laying new shingle with a membrane. Martins communication was spot on and his team were very hard working, knowledgeable and proffessional. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: SO16- BBarry S

Job location: SO40I’m based overseas so relied on Martin to view the property without me there and go over what was needed. Work was undertaken when he said it would be and finished in good time. Quality of the work was good and turnaround time very quick. Very happy with the end result. 9.67 An excellent job well done.

We contacted Martin after a flyer was put through the door. Our house is situated right on the road with a narrow strip of garden in front. This had become very overgrown and difficult to maintain. We decided to have most of it stripped out and replaced with a chain fence and pea shingle. Martin was very prompt to respond with a quote and the work was carried out quickly and professionally by a friendly crew. All in all, we are very satisfied with the result.Verified reviewerJob location: SO2010 A very good job well done.

The work at my property was done in a very professional manner. Despite the awful weather a new lawn was laid and my hedges cut. The men were cheerful and polite and very tidy. I would certainly use this company again.Verified reviewerJob location: SO19
