This was a large job: to remove a shed and foundations and build a 60 sqm play-area. To fill a pond, remove 120 sqm of crazy paving and lay a new 140sqm travertine patio and paths including walls. Build retaining walls for extending and raising a lawn. Colin and his team may not be the fastest workers in the world, but the quality is excellent. Colin is an old school tradesman and craftsman, his planning and stonework is meticulous. Extremely polite, tidy, and keeps you informed throughout the job, and is very competitive in pricing. I would not hesitate to recommend Colin Read.
