  Garden works

  Posted 09 August 2024

  Scott has done several jobs for us including fencing, laying a patio and building a wooden bbq shelter. We have always had a great service from Scott and he is also able to recommend excellent tradespeople for other trades. He always does a professional job and we are really happy with the work he has done. We would highly recommend him and he has done jobs for other family members. Scott is also able to recommend the best products etc for the job and give his opinion on whether something could be improved. He has an excellent manner and gets the job done.

  Excellent job. Scott worked hard and left a neat, tidy base. Courteous at all times. Nothing is too much trouble for him. Definitely recommend him.

  quote received for ext to block drive

  Posted 03 June 2024

  Was disappointed by the lack of communication - they did not answer emails promptly and failed to answer their mobile when called. As a consequence decided to engage a different company to carry out the work.

  Replacement Fence + design and installation of pergola/swing

  Posted 01 April 2024

  Been meaning to post a review for a while it's a couple of years since we had the work done and it still looks great. Scott did quite a large project in our back garden including the removal of old wooden fencing/posts replacing with new concrete posts (10) / fence panels. He also designed and installed a bespoke pergola/swing. Scott was reliable, incredibly hard working, stayed within budget and overcame any challenges with ease. He went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of for a perfect end result. Our neighbours are also pleased with their new fence! 100% recommend.

  Block paving Driveway

  Posted 03 February 2024

  What a great job! We are delighted that we found this company after our previous regular builder retired. Taking out the old driveway and remodelling the front and side of our house was something we worried about entrusting to a different builder , but Scott was a thorough and dedicated craftsman, who went to great lengths to get a result we were delighted with. A series of obstacles cropped up (major storms, issues with the ground under the original drive) but Scott and his team navigated them all and left us with a driveway that looks fantastic.

  Revamp of back garden

  Posted 19 November 2023

  Scott was really keen from the outset to understand and deliver what we wanted. They consulted all through the job to ensure that we would be happy with the finished result and we were. The job was not easy as all materials and waste had to be taken through the house. They worked hard to ensure that this did not cause any damage and to minimise any mess. Scott and his team were happy to accommodate changes and additions to the task as it progressed. Friends who have seen the finished result have asked for his details with a view to getting work done as they are impressed with our garden.
