Highlights

"Steve and his team arrived punctually every day and worked solidly. The attention to detail was excellent and they were clean and tidy, friendly and polite, and left the site all tidied up at the end. We are so pleased with our new decking. It is solid, looks amazing and has added real quality space to our garden"

"Steve helped us with the design and gave us a fixed price he did a really good job over the course of 5 weeks, we are delighted with the quality and thoroughness of the work at all stages. He and his team were friendly and went the extra mile to ensure they maintained a good relationship with our neighbours and kept disruption to an absolute minimum."

"Steve and team spent 4 weeks transforming my garden. Him and his team worked diligently, advising me on the best way to go about the transformation. I couldn’t recommend this team more for the work which they have completed!"

Steve and the team were brilliant from start to finish. We had a bit of an idea of what we wanted but Steve's advice and recommendations have made a massive difference to the end result. We love it. After dealing with lots of trades recently Steve and the team stood out in terms of service and reliability. Would recommend 100%.

Steve, was very friendly & knowledgeable about what I wanted in my garden design. He pointed out a few issues I hadn't noticed & came up with solutions. When it came to doing the work he was very professional, used his own equipment & was a good teacher to his apprentices. I appreciated his understanding of things & was greatly impressed with his work. I absolutely adore my new gardens front & back. They're easier to maintain with my disabilities & I can enjoy my space a great deal more than before. Overall an excellent service & cleaned up well after themselves. I'd recommend Steve

Highly recommend. So happy with the work Steve and the team have done in the garden. Very helpful with planning and advice. Really exceeded expectations, a lot of work done in a short amount of time. From an overgrown unusable space to a lovely garden, very happy with the service.

The discussion regarding work to be done was excellent and the work was most professional

Great service from Steve and the team. They were punctual, hard working and even the neighbours commented how tidy they were. Steve really understood my vision and improved it by suggesting they tile the walls rather than render them. Really happy with the result.

Very large redevelopment of rear garden. Left Steve, Ricky and Rob to complete the job. They finished on time and the results are superb. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Highly recommended. Steve and his team made a great job of removing an old wooden deck and replacing it with a new, composite twin deck, and stone patio area. They also extended the width of my driveway, using bricks made from recycled house bricks. Their work has attracted many positive comments about how fantastic it looks. Their diary is always busy with them being a long-standing, well known family business, but worth the wait. They also have a team large enough to take on a big project.

Although we had a basic idea of what we wanted, Steve used his experience to design and construct a two tiered patio that exceeded our expectations. Steve frequently consulted us to ensure we were happy with the design and construction. He was considerate to our neighbours (re parking / access etc) and my neighbours have told me how much they appreciated that. Steve and his team were well organised, thorough and always tidied up at the end of the day, so we didn't feel like we were living on a building site. Concluding, I would definitely recommend Avonleigh to others.

Absolutely brilliant work by Steve and his team. From a swampy unusable garden they created a fantastic outside space in 4 and a half days. Their work rate is amazing they just crack on and get it done. Attention to detail is spot on and the job done thoroughly. I cant recommend them enough.

We were super impressed by the whole experience. The project happened on time, to budget and it looks even better than we expected. We have already asked Avonleigh to do further work for us, and would definitely recommend to our friends and family. Thank you!

Great job, came in exactly on budget. It took a bit longer than expected but that was due to the terrible weather conditions. I can't fault the standard of work, nor the level of professionalism. They got a few extra jobs on our street due to admiring neighbours.

All work was done with professional approach, Steve kept us informed in all work, and gave advise on what plants to put in, the area was left clean and today every night when they finished, will definitely use Steve again.

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
