Dylan worked hard for almost three weeks in horrendous weather conditions. He single handedly dug out by hand, approximately three tons of soil and rocks. Taking everything away in his lorry. He laid a stone patio of 27 sq m. This was surrounded by sleepers which he also supplied and fitted. He incorporated steps up to a 10 sq m. Garden path in matching stone slabs. We are delighted with the end result and he will be returning soon to lay new turf on the adjoining lawns. His price was substantially less than other quotes and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
This project was to replace a rather complex (Containing two levels and a curved frontage) wooden decking with composite decking. Dylan is a lovely chap and always polite. I think that he rather underestimated how long the job would take so a few 'short cuts' were taken. Some we had to get re-done and some we accepted. Overall, we are happy with the result for the price we paid.
Dylan has done a great job of our back garden laying composite decking on a very uneven surface. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Lovely chap and exceptionally accommodating and very fairly priced

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
