• Replacement Fence + design and installation of pergola/swing

  10Verified Review

  Been meaning to post a review for a while it's a couple of years since we had the work done and it still looks great. Scott did quite a large project in our back garden including the removal of old wooden fencing/posts replacing with new concrete posts (10) / fence panels. He also designed and installed a bespoke pergola/swing. Scott was reliable, incredibly hard working, stayed within budget and overcame any challenges with ease. He went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of for a perfect end result. Our neighbours are also pleased with their new fence! 100% recommend.

• Block paving Driveway

  10Verified Review

  What a great job! We are delighted that we found this company after our previous regular builder retired. Taking out the old driveway and remodelling the front and side of our house was something we worried about entrusting to a different builder , but Scott was a thorough and dedicated craftsman, who went to great lengths to get a result we were delighted with. A series of obstacles cropped up (major storms, issues with the ground under the original drive) but Scott and his team navigated them all and left us with a driveway that looks fantastic.

• Revamp of back garden

  8.75Verified Review

  Scott was really keen from the outset to understand and deliver what we wanted. They consulted all through the job to ensure that we would be happy with the finished result and we were. The job was not easy as all materials and waste had to be taken through the house. They worked hard to ensure that this did not cause any damage and to minimise any mess. Scott and his team were happy to accommodate changes and additions to the task as it progressed. Friends who have seen the finished result have asked for his details with a view to getting work done as they are impressed with our garden.

• Full garden build project

  10Verified Review

  Scott and his team carried out a full garden makeover in our new build garden. This was a fairly large project on a 15m X 10m back garden and they also landscaped our front garden too. Scott's customer care, attention to detail and workmanship is absolutely amazing. He followed our plans down to the millimetres and the results are simply stunning. During the process he updated us and discussed all the small details to make sure we are happy with everything. I can only give him the highest recommendation and a biggest thank you for their hard work. Go with SM Forbes and Sons! Thank you Scott!

• Couldn’t have done better!! Excellent!!

  10Verified Review

  Scott was helpful, polite and thorough from the first point of contact through to completion. The estimate was professionally laid out and work started on the day arranged and was carried out to a very high standard. Scott and Dave were polite and patient with my parents who reside at the property and went above and beyond to ensure myself and my parents were kept well informed of progress. I couldn’t recommend these guys any higher, excellent work and tidy throughout.
