    Great Work!

    Posted 09 November 2025

    Calvin and his son replaced a fencing panel as the old one had fallen apart. They did a great job and left it very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend their work. They are ably assisted by Donna in the office who promptly responded to messages and kept us updated.

    100% recommendation

    Posted 21 September 2025

    We had our fencing replaced by Calvin and his team. From start to finish, we had excellent communication with Donna. 50ft of fencing was done in 2 days as promised. All tidy up and no rubbish at the end. Fantastic job!

Hi there, my name is Calvin I’m a family man from Watford.


I specialise in Fencing which from a young age I was taught by my Grandad who owned his own fencing company many years ago.


I have 20 years’ experience in fencing.


I also specialise in all gardening work which from the age of 21 have worked with a couple of gardening companies which taught me everything there is to know about all aspects of gardening.


After years of working for other people, I finally got the confidence to form my own company something I've wanted to do for a while now so I can provide a better life for my family and can eventually pass on to my 4 boys so THE MAN THAT CAN was created.


2 of my sons currently work with me and will eventually go on their own when the time is right.


I started the company 6 years ago and the services I provide are all types of Garden Fencing i.e., Larch lap panels, close boarded panels, close boarded featheredge bays, picket Fencing and gates etc. with all types of concrete or wooden posts and gravel boards that are all provided by a high quality Fencing company I've used for a long time so I get a good rate for high quality materials.


For the gardening side I provide any type of tidy up and garden clearances and I'm also experienced in laying turf, sleeper walls.


I also do clearances and I have a waste Carriers license (which I can show on request)


All my work is carried out in a quick and efficient manner and to a high standard and we are only happy when you the customer are happy.


Hope this gives you a little insight of what we are about and hope to hear from you soon thanks.
