Front patio removed and replaced with a new front brick wall

Verified Review

DO NOT use this company - new wall had to be demolished and rebuilt during the build as work carried out was awful . Now after 4 months there is damp , green moss growing up from the foundations up the wall , wall is permanently wet at the bottom and one wall is permanently half way down the wall . Even when it hasn’t been raining . I’ve contacted the company no response . Going to have to take action as both walls need demolishing and replacing so need to get another bricklayer as don’t trust this company .

Redoing the garden

Verified Review

I read the reviews and was initially a little sceptical as there were so many positive reviews. Gheorge told me that it would take two weeks as his guys worked hard so I decided to take a chance. In the end they didn't take two weeks but in 8 days, ahead of schedule and that included a change I wanted to be made as I miscalculated the size of the shed base which I noticed after they had done it. John who was the main guy on site would regularly check with me about changes he thought was more advantageous or how I wanted things to be done. Unfortunately I'm not able to add photos

New patio, fence and turf replacement

Verified Review

In one word: Excellent! Petru and his team did a fantastic job in my garden (especially Boris). They replaced fence, built sandstone patio, built platform for shed and laid new turf. Everyone in the team was so professional, polite and took care of the premise. Lots of attention to detail and they did not cut any corners. In the middle of project I asked if something additional can be done (my fault, I didn't think of it earlier). Next day Petru came up with an even better idea and implemented it. The whole team had a "never say no" attitude. I am very pleased and would recommend them!

Large porcelain patio (>100sq m) and turfing of nearly 400sqm

Verified Review

Michael and his team have been exemplary. I cannot recommend them enough. They are extremely hard working and their reviews certainly are justified. I will be using them for ALL future work and have recommended them to all my friends and family. They did a really large harden in the space of two weeks, and have ample equipment and staff. They are truly a remarkable team. They made some changes as per my request and were very accommodating - for this I will be forever grateful. I wish them all the best and will hopefully be seeing them soon.
