    New patio, stone walling, laying of turf, building verandah

    Posted 10 March

    I am extremely happy with the work carried out by Ash and Jim of Stone and Wood Landscaping. Very professional job. Very easy to bounce off ideas with them as plans changed during the work carried out. Very pleasant to deal with, always upbeat and carried out the work to a very high standard. At the end of the day they cleaned up and left everything in good order ready to return the next day. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Decking, alfresco dining area & brick steps.

    Posted 22 January

    Ash listened & designed a whole area of our garden. The old decking, which leads from the kitchen, needed replacing: Ash & Jim thoughtfully improved on the original, utilising the space and adding a wood store underneath. Also, Ash designed an alfresco dining area, utilising the old paving, adding stone chips and they created a level area, surrounded by a garden seating area. One problem they dealt well with was the garden being hilly, on various levels, so new brick steps were created which link the areas to the lower garden. They are polite, helpful and thoughtful. Good workers.

    Garden Project

    Posted 21 January

    A very professional job completed by Ash to a high standard. The design changed due to recommendations from Ash which really improved the overall outcome of the project and were much appreciated. Friendly, helpful and reliable, would definitely recommend.

    Wooden veranda with polycarbonate twin-wall roofing.

    Posted 24 October 2024

    Professional job from start to finish. Courteous, friendly and tidy tradespeople. Ash explained options when providing quotes and the design changed due to recommendations from him which in the end was the correct option for the finish required. Would have no problem recommending them. They are due to return in the New Year to complete the remaining jobs that I require.

    Block Paving and Cotswold chippings over raised bed.

    Posted 17 October 2024

    Ash made an excellent job of clearing a rough area of garden and extending an existing block-paved driveway to make an additional parking area. He also levelled the ground around existing shrubs and palms, laid a weed-proof membrane and covered it all with Cotswold chippings. He worked enthusiastically and with the assistance of Jim, finished the work on time and on budget. He is extremely capable, reliable and reasonably priced.

Locally based out of Torbay, Est. 2015

I am a multi-skilled landscaper and I pride myself on delivering the highest quality of workmanship with a professional friendly attitude.

I work alongside my clients to help them design, create and build their own unique gardens. Having the knowledge insight and expertise in all areas of hard landscaping, I will help, advise and guide my clients, step by step through every possible option that can be achieved in their garden in order to achieve their desired project.

By only having to discuss and deal with myself on the project, rather than dealing with multiple trades, I strive to give my clients a hassle free experience that they can enjoy and feel proud to be a part of.

I always work within a time frame and with all budgets in mind, whether this be a simple gate repair or a whole garden makeover. By organising all the materials myself through local companies and trades at the best prices, the clients pay direct to the suppliers with no additional costs.

How I work:

Contact me via Phone text or email.

We will have an initial meeting to discuss your project.

I can advise the best solution for you.

I will price all the material and labour, using local builders merchants in Torbay e.g. Timber Stores UK Ltd and Wiltshires, getting a reference number for all the materials with builders merchants taking payment directly.

If you’re happy to go ahead I will give you a estimated start date, dependent on my other on-going projects.

If work is anticipated to take longer than two weeks I will invoice for the work every two weeks, otherwise I will invoice once the job is completed.
