Putting up a new fence

Matt and Joe put up two new fences and cleared out all the old undergrowth and ivy. They were efficient, and fast finishing in less than the three days estimated. They cleared up effectively and were unfailingly courteous to us and our neighbours through whose garden they had to come in and out. Another excellent job.

Supply and fit new wooden fence to rear of garden.

Matt and his team were prompt, efficient and did the job to our complete satisfaction. The team are always polite and courteous and keep the work place tidy, they clear up after themselves every day. They are a pleasure to work with. We have now used them 3 times, previously to remove a tree and ivy and replace another fence. They were initially recommended to us by a neighbour and we have in turn recommended them to other neighbours. Matt and his team are able to advise and undertake all sorts of garden related matters.

New front wall, front path, drive and rear terrace

Roots Upwards did a first class job on what was a complete overhaul of the outside of our house. We now have a splendid brick and flint front wall, that passers by stop to admire, and a beautiful brick front path, front drive and rear terrace. We were given excellent advice on materials and costs and are so pleased with the results. The men who carried out the work were helpful, courteous, hard working and as unobtrusive as possible. Would recommend highly to anyone.

garden paving clearer, top soil and turf laid

Prompt quote and job date, arrived on time, very courteous and friendly, worked very hard - started at 8.30 and finished at 3.00 on same day - including hoovering the hallway. Really impressive as we've had a lot of work done over the years and Matt + Paul stood out for advice and reliability.
