    Done our garden, benches, storages and create 3 levels into the garden and turf to of them.

    Posted 3 days ago

    We had a very good experience with Jon, he come up with a lot of ideas, as a result we have a better garden now. He comes up with options and proceeds with your selection. He built two benches, two beds with slates next to them and a storage. There was a small unusable area which he turn into a small storage also. The workmanship is very good and his attitude is always positive. We had a couple hiccups but he took action himself before we say anything or happy to fix when we realize. We turn our sloped and uneven lawn into 3 levels, first two he turfed and the top one with shingles.

    Reliable, creative and incredibly hard working

    Posted 13 July

    Jonny worked tirelessly on our garden renovation. He is incredibly efficient, tidy and meticulous about all aspects of his work. He understood our very loose brief and bought our area to life. He never minded our questions and also advised us on different things for the future. He has made our garden a lovely space for our children to enjoy, and during the project we could tell how much he was enjoying the work. He kept us informed all the way along and worked so fast considering the weather! We look forward to having you back for future work! Before and after photos are included.

Thank you putting my faith back into tradesmen! Thank you again Donna One very happy customer 😀

    Johnny did a great job building us some raised beds and laid some turf. They're sturdy and look great! He was very professional, friendly and communicative throughout the work. He even managed to finish a day ahead of schedule.
