Highlights
"We needed to have a badly damaged 30 foot chain link fence replaced & after several companies quoting we settled for Mark as he was competitively priced & very prompt with his comms. Our property back onto a park & to enhance privacy Mark suggested we change to a wooden fence. Mark & the crew arrived promptly at 9 am, promptly getting to work prepping the area. Once cleared he swiftly started construction on the wooden frame for the fence, which included building round several protected trees. Just after 3pm the hand built fence was complete. Excellent workmanship & very professional."
"Yet again Mark and his team did a great job for us. We have used him many times over the years and we would never go to anyone else now. This time we had our patio re pointed and sealed, a large trellis fitted on our fence and part of our front garden dug over and decorative gravel laid. All the work was completed to a high standard and for a reasonable price. No, it's not cheap, but it is what you can expect to pay for high quality work - buy cheap, buy twice! If you want good quality and long lasting then you expect to pay to for it."
"Mark and his team achieved exactly what I wanted. I found them to be quick to respond, hardworking, reliable and skilled at landscaping. He has completely transformed a very tired shabby front garden into a clean, tidy and easy to keep garden, it now matches the lovely job he did in the back garden. He was recommended to me by my sister who was equally delighted in the work he did for her. I would have no hesitation in using him again."

Smart checks
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.
