    Meticulous worker with an eye for detail

    Posted 5 days ago

    Will Brookes has done several landscaping jobs at my Swanage home in the past two years, including building new garden steps (a major job with a 2-metre drop), relaying a patio, relaying concrete on a driveway, and repointing a 30-metre stretch of a Purbeck stone boundary wall. My neighbour was impressed and asked Will to repoint one of her walls. Will is a meticulous worker with an eye for detail. He is friendly, personable, and good at keeping in touch especially when weather-dependent jobs require rescheduling. His charges are very fair and good value for money.

    Building a concrete pathway and a sandstone deck

    Posted 23 March 2025

    We had the pleasure of working with Will for some recent landscaping work in our garden. From the initial planning Will was insightful and provided all the reassurance we needed in designing the area. Will planned out the work and kept us updated with everything. The work was completed on schedule and to budget which is rare these days. The quality of workmanship is outstanding and we are so happy with everything. Thank you Will we are very grateful.

    Replacing garden retaining wall and steps - completed

    Posted 08 February 2025

    Will has now completed the removal of old concrete steps, and creation of new steps with handrails in a new position, together with buttresses for the adjacent retaining wall (supports a parking area) and a new flower bed. Will is focused on delivering value for money, incredibly well organised, personable, a tidy worker, a good communicator, and creative. The end result blends in well with the existing garden. Precious trees were protected. The site was totally clear at the end of the job. Neighbours are happy. We will be using Will again for some follow-up projects.

    Sandstone paved patio and concrete walkway

    Posted 26 January 2025

    We are so very grateful to have found Will. From the initial conversation Will was very helpful with giving us ideas and inspiration for the design and layout. Will proposed a very reasonable quote and schedule for the work which was stuck to 100% throughout. This is very rare this day and age. I would recommend Will to anyone and will use his services for the next stage of the work. Thank you so much for a brilliant service from start to finish.

    Replacing garden retaining wall and steps

    Posted 06 January 2025

    Will is now about half-way through a 2-month project to replace an existing garden retaining wall and steps down into the garden. Despite the weather the project is going really well. Will has put a lot of thought into the design of the project. His attention to detail is very good, as is his workmanship. His working area is tidy and well-organised. Access to the site is tricky (shared driveway) and Will has put a lot of effort into keeping our neighbours onside. Will is very personable, and his communication is excellent.
