Excellent job. Replaced garden fence and gate. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic work by these chaps. Arrived and talked through our options, and even changed them prior to commencement of the work but did not affect their work ethic. Extremely tidy and removed all signs that they had ever been here! Bespoke, made to measure gate that is extremely strong and secure. Posts installed into the ground at a great depth to provide stability and fencing measured to look like it’s supposed to. I would recommend this small family business and very reasonably priced too!

I cannot rate them highly enough. Polite, friendly and so helpful explaining the drawbacks to what I initially wanted. Worked like Trojans to cut the extremely overgrown hedge exactly as we then agreed and were ruthlessly efficient in clean up. A wonderful service.

Would definitely recommend. Louise kept us up to date on when the job would start etc and was always on hand for any queries we had before the job started. Richard and Darren who installed the new fencing and gate were amazing, very polite and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The final result and quality of the work is amazing and has made a massive improvement to our garden. More...

Superb Job and meticulous about the work and tidy up. Respectful and fair with my 87 Yr old Mum who was more than satisfied with the end result (and she's pretty fussy! ). Richard and the two helpers were always smiling and chatty throughout (even though the job was a little bit bigger than first anticipated due to the aspect of the garden). Will use to continue maintainence from this point on. More...

I requested a quotation to supply and fit a wooden gate to an existing structure. The contractor came and had a look and suggested the best way to tackle the job. He said he will supply the quotation in three days. I did not think he would because he had not bothered to take any measurements and did not take my contact details even though he said they had my phone number. A waste of time. More...

Called this business to see if they would do a quote for a job in Pontllanfraith. Was told "if it was worth it". Went through what I was looking for and an appointment was made for a quote this Sunday at 11am. Left address and my contact number which the lady confirmed back to me. Sunday comes but Richard DOES NOT. As a family with 2 children we were waiting to go out for the day. No phone call. No text to say he couldnt make it. I cannot comment on the quality of work but the customer service and professionalism would appear to be lacking. Extremely inconsiderate to not even say he couldn't make it and I will not be using Ark Fencing and Garden Services in the future. More...

This company has gone out of business and honestly the way they handled it was by far the most unprofessional way I have ever experienced. We were on the schedule for full yard work ($$$) and confirmed multiple times over the past 3 months only to find out when no one showed up on our scheduled day yesterday (where we had to hunt someone down over the phone) to find out they wouldn’t be coming...ever. Needless to say, after this fiasco, I’m not surprised they went out of business. If I could give less than 1 star I would. More...

Q&As

I love my job because I get to do what I enjoy most! I'm outdoors rain or shine either gardening or using my construction skills. It's great because it keeps me physical and active as well as using my creative side. I enjoy working with timber too, whether it's building fencing, decking, planters or retaining borders, it's so rewarding producing things that are practical and good to look at. The other thing is of course, I get to meet some great people too.

I always had an interest in timber construction growing up. My father was a carpenter and ran his own business for many years, so i guess he was my first inspiration. There were many occasions when he asked me to assist him on various jobs. I have always loved the outdoors (being an avid golfer). During my twenties I was offered the opportunity to work and train with a skilled landscape gardener. I did so, for three years and learnt so much during this time, he was a great teacher and mentor. My confidence and ability grew and eventually I set off on my own. Being self employed offers flexibility to family life and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it.
