    Building works and garden landscaping

    Posted 12 September 2023

    Darren and his team did an amazing job especially considering the challenging circumstances of the work we needed doing. They rebuilt part of the garden which is on a slope, installed new posts and gravel boards to create a retaining wall, removed and replacing fencing and gate, built new steps and returfed the garden. Darren was incredibly accommodating and responsive to our requests, completed the job in half the time we expected and left everything immaculately clean and tidy. He and his team were super hard workers and provided highest quality workmanship. I can’t recommend them enough!

    Garden path renewal, new fencing and concrete bases.

    Posted 30 August 2023

    We’ve used Libra for several projects and we have had a great experience every time. The quality of the work was first class and it was a pleasure to work with Darren and his team. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Darren was also able to offer great advice and different options for the work to be done. I would have no hesitation in recommending Libra.

    Complete renovation of garden

    Posted 26 March 2023

    Cannot recommend Darren and his team enough!! Completely remodeled terrace garden. Works included demolishing old garage, new fencing, composite decking, sleeper flowerbeds, artifical grass, paving and a base for new shed. Darren was quick too quote and understood exactly what we wanted, he was able to start the work the following week and complete within 2 weeks. He was easy to communicate with and kept us in the loop making recommendations along the way. We loved his enthusiasm and can do attitude!

Hello, my name's Darren and I run this small landscaping outfit that is Libra Building & Landscaping. I have 16 years experience in this line of work.

My specialty is hard landscaping, such as ;

  • Paving (patios/driveways and paths)
  • Brickwork including garden walls and retaining walls.
  • Fencing & gates
  • Decking (softwood or composite)
  • Borders and flowerbed construction including raised beds (excluding maintenance)
  • Artificial grass and natural turf lawns
  • Shed bases

We take a huge amount of pride in our work. We will always try to work in the most efficient manner to execute the job within a reasonable time scale, without of course compromising on the quality of the workmanship.

Estimates are of course free and I am more than happy to come and have a look at your garden and throw lots of helpful suggestions to help you get the best out of your garden, whatever your budget!
Please take a look at my photos and feedback reports, if you like what you see I shall look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you

Darren Matthews
