I waited some time for David to become available to landscape my garden (he was booked solidly for months) which in itself was the right recommendation.
I explained as best I could what I required and showed him a "very rough" scribbled idea. He took time discussing my needs and produced the most wonderful design which has drawn passersby to take photgraphs of. I am absolutely thrilled. This was a difficult site to start with but David changed it into a garden I want to be in. I appreciated the care and attention to detail that was taken. Work was done to a very high standard. Couldn't be happier. The garden is totally transformed and come Spring will be a haven of tranquility.

Dave and Sean made an excellent job of our Garden and I would recommend them. We had a 3 week job during heavy rain and it didn't impact on the final result. Very happy with the garden and the work completed. More...

David carried out 2 pieces of work at our recently extended home.Initial work was to build a fence, deck and bin store and the second was for paving a drive and creation of a stone slabbed patio to replace a lawn, together with building a raised stone walled flower bed, installation of water feature, planting of a shrub border and building a set of stone steps. David and his colleague performed the work to a high standard. He was very helpful in advising in choice of materials and plants. He also suggested using larch battens to obscure an old fence - this produced a great finish which has been much admired. I certainly recommend him. More...

Very happy with the work done in our back garden, transforming it into a flexible functional family space. David and his co-worker cleared the existing garden and then built bespoke wooden raised beds/seating with railway sleepers, and paved the whole area. David was happy to discuss options and possibilities throughout the job, and kept me well-informed of progress. He advised about planting/growing options, and suitable products for aftercare etc. He also carried out small additional work on request, beyond the original remit. Friendly and communicative, I'd happily recommend David for the quality of his work and professionalism. More...

David and Co are pleasant, hardworking and honest. They leave a well finished job. Their charges are reasonable.
We have had a difficult time with a building company previously, so we recognise quality and the rest.
We recommend.

I engaged Dave and his team to transform our garden. We didn't really know what we waned but Dave took the time to work with us and give advice as the plan for the garden evolved - Dave was very patient and tolerant of my pain-in-the-neck questions and changing requests for the garden!

I had a very small plot which was very overgrown with a broken down fence and really old slabs. Dave and his team came along and transformed it - I am amazed. He decked the whole area and put in a new fence and gate and I cannot believe the transformation. He and his team worked hard and delivered exactly what I asked for. They even went the extra mile to placate my neighbour when she was upset<span id="moreReview702201" class="hide"> with the new fence - (all is now well).

David did a great job of converting our dull, shady terrace into an area we now love to use. We had a terrace with 1970's slabs which got little sun.

Following a successful experience in the re-design of our fairly modest front garden a few years ago by David and team a few years ago, we did not hesitate in asking them back for a more substantial chunk of work. Our main garden, about 30m x 7m and behind a mid-terrace house required a total rejig. This involved stripping and replacing a lawn, extensive paving in Indian sandstone, and clearing and replanting flower-beds. We were impressed by the estimate - lower than a less detailed proposal - and by the expertise, enthusiasm and resilience and design skills brought to the work. Complex scheduling - materials, sequencing of work etc - was well handled; and any minor emergent problems swiftly and cheerfully dealt with. In particular, the challenges of mid-terrace lifting and shifting were overcome with only the minimal necessary inconvenience and no significant mess. Dr Colin Currie. More...
