    Friendly professional team, very happy with the work

    Posted 27 February

    They came to me first to quote my garden to be turfted they were very professional and talked me through exactly what they were going to do. They spent 2 days making sure the ground was levelled properly on the first day and then settled ready for the turf which was layed on the second day. I am very happy with the results and they made sure they cleaned up well after themselves and gave me all the information i needed to look after the turf and make sure it took properly. While on the job they also went the extra mile and helped me with a couple of jobs i was doing in the garden around them.

    It was great to meet Joe and finally get someone who offered a reasonable quote for the work we wanted. He seemed knowledgeable and happy to offer advice as well as respond to our requests. Joe is now mowing our lawns regularly and working on various other garden maintenance jobs.
