EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Andrew PooleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig and team did a fantastic job, transforming our back garden. Efficient, hard working and flexible. Would highly recommend 👍Posted on Mark JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our garden completely remodelled and Landscape, by Craig and his team. It was a fairly big Job, of around 4 weeks. including removing 20 odd tonnes of “earth” 3 split level areas of patios, retaining walls/ flower beds, artificial grass laid and getting a tree craned in and planted! All of this they took within there stride. They were professional, courteous, and they very much have a “can do attitude”. Pricing was both reasonable and fair. I would recommend their service, Indeed I am booking them again to sort our front garden area, a much smaller task. No job is to big or too Small for Craig and his teams. They are definitely worth the good biscuits!Posted on Tom BoltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig did a great job sanding and repainting our windows, soffits and fascias. He was fairly priced and the quality was excellent. He and his team were on time, had a high attention to detail and he went the extra mile to get the job done to a great standard. I’ve also used him before to put up fencing and will continue to keep using him as requiredPosted on Rob AllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Craig and his team have been brilliant. We wanted a large modern fence installed in our garden and their work has been exceptional. I would highly recommend.
