    Garden Fencing

    Posted 4 days ago

    Replacing 3 panels and 2 posts in my garden fence.

    Dene responded really quickly to my post, came in with a really reasonable price and did the job quickly. The work itself is top quality and looks really good, I’m very pleased. Communication was very clear throughout, he turned up when he said he would was quiet and tidied up well afterwords. I highly recommend him.

    Great job on my garden, will use again

    I needed several things doing to my garden and Dene did a great job repairing my fencing, clearing some large roots, flattening my garden and removing weeds and brambles. Did it all very quickly and was impressed with the results. Will definitely use again!

    Garden Clearance

    Posted 11 May

    Great job all round, will be in touch again

    They did a great job on several things I needed doing: fixed my fence, removed several large roots and brambles, cleared a large area at the back of the garden of weeds and garden waste. Also flattened a large 'bump' in my lawn. Very pleased with the job and will definitely be in touch when I'm ready to do more!

    Fencing Repair / Replacement

    Posted 10 May

    Not for anything more than basic fences

    Unfortunately, Mr Bridges left a concrete low wall more broken than when he started the job. He struggled to properly fix the fence down, drilling and fracturing a low concrete wall and now the job has been left with more to pay out of pocket to get the job properly done. If your fence is not standard, along the size of the garden in the ground, then I do not recommend this person.

    Response from Dene Bridges

    We worked extremely hard on this job a very difficult one wires and climbing plants everywhere Unfortunately as the wall was in a bad co edition When we drilled to put a concrete repair screw in it cracked further we were coming g back to fix it with epoxy type glue and fast setti g morter but the man said do t worry he'll do it I was polite and respectful and did the job at a fair price didn't need to leave a less than positive review as we were willing to pay for any I convenience another contractor didn't want to touch the job and the fence posts shouldn't have been put on a wall with metpo

    Garden Maintenance

    Posted 01 May

    My garden was totally overgrown and unmanageable

    Dene was so quick at getting back to me and was in communication about what I needed. He came round the next day and gave me a quote. Less than a week later the job was done and the garden was transformed just in time for summer. Everything was so tidy and the garden looked wonderful having been totally overgrown. He listened to what I needed and I will definitely be using his services again.
