Reviews of Borland Landscaping

Ken has been absolutely superb throughout the project and has installed a magnificent gazebo for us, despite the supplier’s installation guide being totally inadequate. Ken had to figure out how to assemble every single item of the gazebo from the posts, a full roof frame which is supported through multiple struts and a large central beam, every roof board for all four sides was trimmed and individually installed, before 30m2 of roof shingles (in excess of  qty 200)  were trimmed and laid. Finally the gazebo had six sections of balustrades and their capping fitted.

Prior to the start of building the gazebo Ken had to extend an existing decking area, and then integrate the gazebo into the decking structure.  Installing the gazebo required enormous precision, ingenuity and skill.  Once the gazebo was installed the balustrades posts had to be very accurately fitted through the decking. Finally six sections of the balustrade and their made to measure capping were very carefully installed to complete the whole gazebo.

Ken’s innovative ideas, knowledge, skill and accuracy are outstanding. He was an absolute pleasure to meet and to have delivering our project. Without Ken the gazebo would not look as fantastic as it does. Ken overcame every obstacle thrown at him. We are extremely grateful for the quality of Ken’s work as it produced the highest quality finish that we could have imagined. 

Ken is always approachable, listens to your questions and is always willing to offer very pragmatic and sensible advice. His pricing is fair and reasonable. We have absolutely no hesitations in recommending Ken and will work with him on the future projects which we have discussed. We thoroughly recommend Ken! 

Excellent job, very pleased with it. Ken is very hard working and precise in his work. 

I would highly recommend him.

Absolutely first class and exactly what we discussed. Can't fault Ken's work or approach. Clears away every last trace of rubbish so leaves no sign that he's been other than his superb workmanship.

We weren't completely sure what we wanted except we wanted a grey slab patio and matching garden path.  Ken came to quote (which was completely covid safe) and advised us of the options which are available.  He later emailed some photos of the slabs he recommended.  The quote was quick and we booked the date for him to start. Ken is extremely hard working, he sets himself deadlines and will work late if needed for the job to finish on time.  He kept us well informed if there needed to be any changes, all done in a covid safe way. 

I would recommend Ken to anyone, I believe a few of my neighbours have asked him for quotes. 

This is the third job we have asked Ken to complete for us.  We have always found Ken to be really hard working, punctual and works in all weather to make sure the job gets done on time. He  keeps us updated with the work he is doing and advises of any changes to make the outcome better. 

It is obvious that Ken takes pride in his work.  Even my neighbour has booked him for some work in their garden.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ken. 

We found Ken to be very conscientious at each step of the job. Very methodical worker and kept the site area clean and tidy at the end of each day. Always thinking of others around him and bearing health & safety in mind. Attention to detail was great and managed all elements of the job without any problems.

Would recommend to anybody who is thinking of have garden landscaping work done.

From start to finish I was impressed and happy with Ken's work ethic and professionalism. Borland Landscaping was one of four quotes. Ken visited, surveryed the work required and subsequently provided a full, itemised quotation, with a total price and projected timescale for the works (no hidden extra cost!). Ken explained the work in full, the options available to me, as well as going through the need to satisfy regulations should I think of moving in future. I was vey impressed with his knowledge and approach. Having agreed his quote a date was set. Throughout this project Ken arrived on time every day. I was updated in full about what the plan and schedule was. Ken works alone and because he does he grafts all day, every day, I was very impressed. Despite a couple of hiccups (supplier letting him down on delivery times), Ken just knuckled down and worked even harder. The work was completed in time, as promised and we are more than happy. Ken is a super nice guy too. The price wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but the work was spot on.

I would not hesitate to recommend (Ken) Borland Landscaping to anyone and I will not hesitate to contact him again if I need more work doing. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic job on any aspect of landscaping work.

Ken did an amazing job to build exactly what we planned and explained what he was doing so we always felt involved. The quality of the built decking is first class. Ken also took on installing a large wooden side gate which he did perfectly.  Ken is very fair,  delivers what he promises and is very highly recommended. Ken is a pleasure to work with. 

Ken’s workmanship was of an incredibly high standard and he took so much pride in his work. He was always punctual, carried on working through horrendous weather, never complaining once. He completed with the agreed timeline, at a very reasonable price. We are really pleased with our new decking, Ken was recommended to us and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. 

Fantastic job. The pergola and path looked far better than I had imagined it would. Ken has a real eye for what suits a space.

The patio would have been a nightmare for most as lots of intitial groundwork and rubbish clearing. Ken whizzed through the hard bit, clearing all rubbish as he went. Left us with a really well laid patio.
