What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Turf laying, patio construction, fencing and decking feature heavily among the jobs completed by J. B. Landscapes Bristol, based on Drummond Road in Fishponds. James is named in nearly every account as the tradesman carrying out the work, often single-handedly or alongside Bea, and is consistently described as hard-working and unwilling to rush a job even under pressure from extreme heat or heavy rain.

Clients repeatedly highlight his tidiness, with sites cleaned each evening and old materials, concrete or overgrown conifers cleared away thoroughly. Beyond installation, several reviews mention practical advice given afterwards, such as how to care for newly laid turf, with follow-up visits to check on progress while clients were away. Weed treatment on an existing patio, followed by jet washing, is also mentioned as producing lasting results months later.

Communication throughout projects is described as clear, with flexibility to add extra fencing, gravel areas or a second patio once initial work impressed. One reviewer notes a small step built for an elderly cat to reach a cat flap, reflecting attentiveness to household pets during larger builds. The business operates long days from eight in the morning until eight at night, six days a week, closing only on Sundays, making evening and Saturday appointments straightforward to arrange around Fishponds and the wider Bristol area.

James replaced our fencing and decking, removing all the old materials and replacing with new. He had extreme heat and torrential rain to deal with but still turned up didn’t rush the job, even making our elderly cat a little step to step up to the cat flap. He has made our garden an area to love again and we are so happy with the end product. Would have no hesitation in using him again or recommending.

James did my parents (Sue & Steve) front garden, removed grass & old concrete. Leveled & replaced with porcelain tiles. Excellent job. Very clean & tidy. Cleaned up every evening. Parents would highly recommend.

James did a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier with his work! He is knowledgeable, generous and very skilled. He laid down new edging to our small lawn, levelled it and reseeded it. Out of the goodness of his heart he secured a loose paving stone without being asked. What a man! Thank you James.

We had a large patio built on a gently sloping garden. It was a big project in miserable weather but James stuck at it and did a fantastic job. His communication was great throughout and we're really pleased with the finished product.

I have had issues with weeds growing through my patio for years, James came out treating the weeds, jet washed down the patio, and the results are amazing. Thank you so much, 3 months on and no weeds at all brilliant. Would always recommend j b landscapes bristol
