Garden maintenance etc.
Mr Turner has maintained my hedges (front and back gardens) very professionally for over 5 years. Last year he built a patio and green house and laid paths - his work is of a very high standard, competitively priced and is most personable in his manner.

Long hedge of spiky Berberis trimmed back very neatly. Sawn off tree branches sawn back to trunk

Martin and Danny were both polite and very efficient. They telephoned to say they were on their way and arrived promptly. The job was done quickly and efficiently and all waste rubbish was removed. They also very kindly unblocked some roof guttering which was full of leaves etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Tree pruning and tree removal

Sorry just been told off by the wife that I was a bit mean on my previous scoring and should have given a ten on all counts. Would definitely recommend Martin and Danny and would not hesitate to use them again.

Tree pruning, stump removal, old shed removed.

Martin and his team carried out the work efficiently. Time keeping was good and they worked right through without a break(except for the odd cup of tea).They cleared up very well, you wouldn't know any work had been done! They were polite and made certain I was happy with the job before they left. I would most certainly recommend them to my friends and neighbours.

Tree and hedge clipping and trimming

General tidying up and cutting back of overgrown bushes/shrubs/trees. Turned up at 8am sharp - just over 2 hours and the work was done to good standard and the site kept clean and tidy. Work done as quoted, and to same price. Both Martin and Sean were professional, polite and courteous, and ensured I was happy with the work at each stage. Will recommend and use again.

Cleared my accumulated garden rubbish

Did a great job, fast efficient and courteous. Much cheaper and less fuss than the alternative which was to hire a skip. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

New Shed and fence panels replaced

I can honestly say that Martin and his team are a pleasure to deal with. They are keen and polite. Martin made sure that I was informed at all times on what was happening as we had a change of plan with the shed. Martin made sure that I was completely happy. The team worked fast and efficiently, they made sure that all rubbish was removed from site. I asked for some bush's to be removed and some garden rubbish to be taken away - this was no problem. They left my garden looking very much better. Martins teams used my neighbours gardens to gain access to my garden and again they were courteous at all times and left all gardens neat. My neighbour was so impressed Martin is doing work for him. I will definitely recommend Martin and would not hesitate to contact him again. I had a nice surprise when I went to pay as due to some changes my bill was less than quoted. Fab service and very good value for money ... overall a big TEN.

Pruning overgrown weeping cherry tree

Martin and his co worker were very courteous and made sure that every aspect of the job was to my satisfaction. Not until I was completley happy with the work did payment take place. Price quoted was very reasonable and will use him again
