Highlights
"Excellent service. George came and discussed what we needed, he gave advice and helped us to plan (involved needing access to our garden via a school playing field during half term). George and his team were thorough, leaving the whole site free of debris. Great result, looks really good, we highly recommend and will definitely use George and his team again."
"Came to review the job quickly, quote straight away and fitted gate quickly and well. Very please with the result"
"I have been using the services of 1st Choice Landscapes for many years, whether it is fitting/repairing/replacing fences, gate, pruning trees and bushes around the garden. I have also used them for other jobs such as reinforcing and cementing some of brick work . I trust the owner of the business - George. He takes every job seriously and gives me good advice."
