Steve and his lads are great, first time using them and I am very happy with the work they have done. Saw their reviews and that made me try them. would definitely recommend them and they will be doing my gardening work going forward. Thanks again for a great job.
Absolutely would recommend. Been a customer for many years. Great communication & jobs well priced. Punctual, knowledgeable and keen to make our garden look amazing! Would not hesitate to endorse such great workmanship, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Steve & Dean!
Steve and the guys did an incredible job. My garden was an absolute state, it was embarrassing! My dog had dug so many holes in the grass and cutting it myself was a nightmare. The first job was to strip it right back to a blank canvas, i was amazed at what they achieved in one day!. My new turf was laid yesterday and looks great. What has been most important to me though is the care and attitude from the guys. They have been so reliable and have gone the extra mile with the little things. Cant recommend them highly enough!
Steve and the lads always go above and beyond making sure you are 100% happy. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t use anyone else for my garden
Basically wanted a small job done, which involved removing scruffy turf and weeds from an area behind a group of properties and laying decorative gravel in its place. Steve had me booked in within a fortnight and did a fantastic job with his team, and all at a very reasonable price. Communication was first rate and happy to answer additional questions I had regarding upkeep etc. Highly recommended.
Nothing short of a fantastic job!! These guys transformed our front and backyard despite the weather and extent of overgrowth. I wouldn't think twice before hiring their professional services again. Thanks again you two!
