    Posted 06 August

    Really pleased with my new decking. James and the team were helpful, professional, efficient, clean and tidy, good value for money. Communication was great, the job was carried out as expected and the whole team were friendly and approachable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

    Custom built a timber and felt roof for our existing pergola.

    Posted 18 July

    James (assisted by his sons) provided a highly competitive quote for an unusual project. We required a custom built roof for our pergola. He reinforced the timber structure and covered with ply and felt. Great work ethic and extremely easy to work with, being punctual and friendly throughout. The job, including a replacement fence post was completed within the estimated time and finished to a very high standard. We an extremely happy with the end result that was finished on time and precisely to the estimated budget!

    Full driveway re-design

    Posted 16 June

    James and his team had quite a task on their hand with our drive. It was incredibly sloped with a large grassed area we wanted made into a more accessible driveway. James and his team removed over 70 tonnes of dirt and rubble in the end, leaving us with a beautifully paved driveway and some retaining walls for raised beds just as we hoped. James and the team really listened to our design, gave input and checked in along the way. Their work was good quality and they were always prompt and great at communicating. I would strong recommend them.
