Landscaping garden and building driveway

As we live on a hill we needed our front garden landscaped and also our driveway paved. Paul took on the work and together we designed the garden, deciding to build retaining walls for the flower beds and lawn and laying Indian sandstone pathways. Paul carried out the work extremely well and has a flexible, pleasant approach. He is courteous, punctual and very hard working, sometimes in bad weather, and is able to understand and interpret design elements and contribute to ideas on planting, layout and materials. He worked to budget and cleared up well every day. We are very pleased with the work Paul has done for us in transforming our garden and drive, and would certainly recommend him to anyone else.

Transforming a rockery garden into a large lawn area with decking area leading out from conservatory

After years of having no garden to speak of (consisted of rockery, as we live on a hill). After becoming grandparents we wanted a lawn for the children so that they were able to play outside. We also thought it would be nice to have a decking area outside of our conservatory to enjoy the views around us. Paul worked single handedly and transformed our garden to exactly our expectations (and more)!). His work is outstanding and competitively priced. We would thoroughly recommend Paul for any landscaping work required - thank you Paul we love our new garden!!

Remove old broken patio, rebuild patio with Sandstone paving stones.

This was an extremely hard job since all the building materials had to be carried up a steep slope from the road. Paul worked very hard doing this job, and completed earlier than we had expected. Everything he did was exactly as he had said it would be, from arriving for the first estimate, turning up to start the job and finishing a day early. We are delighted with the finished patio. Paul was pleasant and friendly all the time he was working and I would definitely use him again to do another job me.

Brick retaining wall, decking and slabs laid around shed.

Received quote from Paul quickly and in view of previous comments arranged for Paul to do our work. The work has now been completed and we are very pleased with all aspects of the work. The decking is absolutely perfect. Paul himself is a very hard worker and his workmanship is excellent. We would not hesitate in recommending Paul and look forward to any other work we may need. Many thanks for all your work Paul.
