    I am glad I hired him!

    Posted 03 June

    Johnny was extremely good in giving me ideas about what to do with the space. It is not always that the customer knows what they want. He finished the work with dedication even on his birthday! He even finished the deck with an oil based paint (which was something I did not expect). I will be working with him again in near future. Price-wise: Extremely reasonable and fit for the job.

    Wide range of skills, great person - can't recommend highly enough!

    Posted 16 May

    Needed an outhouse rebuilt into a studio. Original building in very poor condition with rotten wood and broken glass. It is now a lovely extra room. Jonny is creative and has a great way of combining his own good ideas while listening to what the client wants. He is very good at a wide range of building and landscaping techniques. He also had a fantastic team of highly skilled and experienced bricklayers, plasterers and electricians. You can see where the new brickwork is, because it is so neat and looks much better than the original! So happy with the whole process.

    Pergola, patio, raised beds

    Posted 02 May

    We are absolutely thrilled with the work Jonny has done in our garden, the whole experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Jonny has a real eye for detail and the finishing touches were outstanding, everything was completed to a very high standard. Jonny also brought along his carpenter friend who was incredibly pleasant, hardworking, and did an amazing job building our pergola. I changed my mind several times throughout the project, but nothing was ever too much trouble. Jonny was always patient, helpful, and happy to adapt without any issues. Highly recommended!! Thank you

    Garden Paved Area Restoration

    Posted 19 February

    I recently had the paved area of my garden restored and re-laid, and the finished result is exactly as I’d hoped — The levels are perfect and the layout is just as it should be. Jonny was professional, efficient, and completed the project ahead of schedule without compromising on quality. This combined with his extensive knowledge and experience means I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high‑quality work.
