Reviews of Borland Landscaping

Ken is a very polite and knowledgeable professional landscaper/paving contractor, who worked tirelessly and tidily in getting the patio laid within the time frame. The finished patio looks superb and is just what we wanted.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found him and would recommend his services to anyone considering having any landscape/paving work done.

I can't rate Borland Landscaping highly enough. 

Ken first visited to give me a quote. He listened to my vague vision and was full of suggestions to help make it perfect.

The job took three days to complete and Ken and his assistant barely stopped. They worked so hard, only stopping for the occasional cuppa. It was clear from start to finish that this is more than a job for Ken, it's a labour of love. When the block paving work over ran he stayed late to complete it, and when he realised a rosebush that I want to plant for my late brother won't be planted until next spring he arranged some extra stones to fill my new stone circle so that the job didn't look incomplete. Whilst this was probably just the perfectionist in him it to make sure the job looked complete, it meant an awful lot to me.

I'd so happily recommend Ken to anyone looking for a landscaping contractor. I couldn't be more pleased with my new front garden. Instead of the drab and uninspiring weed patch I started with, my house finally has some proper kerb appeal! 

Ken came to view the area and discussed suggested style and layout and promised to do an estimate for us. The estimate arrived when he said it would.

He offered us a start date, which we agreed to and he turned up on time on the agreed date. 

His workmanship is excellent, in fact it is 'craftsmanship'! The finished deck looks excellent and is solid. The construction was 'belt and braces' to give a strong, long lasting addition to our home. He used top quality materials and did everything as though he was doing it for himself, even using a single sheet membrane to avoid joints! He work hard all the time and was clean and tidy. 

When he left the only thing he left behind after clearing up was the new deck!

If you are looking for someone to do some landscaping for you this is the man!

I was very impressed with Ken’s commitment to professional standards. He went the extra mile to ensure the work was done properly and to my satisfaction.  He transformed a small, ill-shaped, boring garden into a smart and tidy area which can now be further improved upon by colourful planting.  It is now a pleasure to look at rather than the eyesore that it was.

Thank you Ken - until the next time!

And thank you Safe Local Trades for providing such an important service.

We are really delighted with our new decking and fencing.  Ken is a real perfectionist and made sure everything was done to a high standard.  Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly chap and I was so pleased that I have asked him back to do some further work.  Absolutely recommend Borland Landscaping.  5 star service.

I cannot thank Ken enough for a fantastic job done this week and a real pleasure do to business with him. There were certainly some challenges on this job in having to remove a retaining wall and replace with gravel boards, and old concrete posts buried in the ground on the fence line needed some extra elbow grease, but Ken completed the job on time and on budget as agreed. All debris removed and Ken even very kindly did a couple of extra jobs to break up some old large concrete blocks I had from way back and also took these away for me. Fence looks amazing. I would highly recommend Ken and after seeing some of the photos of decking jobs he has done recently, im also looking to use his services again in the near furture for a decking project. Thanks Ken!

This work was carried out to a very high standard with many comments of how good it looks. Ken was hard working, tidy and also made a couple of suggestions to improve what we required. He came when he said and stayed late to finish the job. Nothing was too much trouble .

We lost a number of fencing panels due to storm damage and asked Ken to replace all the fencing on that border of the property as the rest of the fence didn't look too good.

This is the second time we have asked Ken to do some work for us. He has used quality materials and once again done an excellent  job. Our new fencing is miles better than the original and is built to last.

We are currently asking him to quote for his third job for us and wouldnt hesitate to recommend him for fencing or landscaping work if you're looking for a quality job by a true professional.

We had recently moved into our house and the front garden was a mess. We wanted it to be a no nonsense, low maintenance garden, so gravel and replacement of the paving stones to the front door. 

Ken did a fabulous job of transforming the garden and had to deal with old tree stumps, poorly laid artificial turf and a number of surprises which he found while preparing the garden.  

He is a perfectionist and will accept nothing less than a quality job and it shows.  He made suggestions of finishing touches that made it more than just gravel. We now have a block paved circle centre piece and edging along the path that tie all the colours of the house together and gives the garden that added extra.

Ken is a craftsman and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. 

I am very pleased with the transformation of my garden. Ken has a good feel for what will work and what will look right. He used good quality materials and was not satisfied with anything less than perfect. 

When the work was done I asked Ken for ideas for a dark and sad looking corner of my garden. He had to contend with old tree stumps and different levels. Now I have a beautiful bistro area! New turf expertly laid completed the fresh new look. Things that have been annoying me for years - like the lawn spreading into the driveway have now been sorted, making the whole garden more easily managed.
