Review of recommended landscape gardener in Peterborough

Review Date:
20th April 2016

Summary:

Final landscaping of rear garden, to include brick beds on a curved wall, low beds with shallow wall, extending patio and gravelling to specific areas. Finishing garden beds.

Comments:

Absolutely outstanding workmanship, and a fantastic ability to visualise what the customer wants.  We have a one-off garden, and it matches exactly what we asked for. We set him some very difficult tasks.

Ken is fanatical about detail, and he is coming back to do another area behind our garage.

We could not have found anyone better, and we hope he shows our completed garden work to propective customers. We were fortunate to choose him with his skilled background.

Thank you Ken

Review of recommended landscaping in Longthorpe, Peterborough

Review Date:
4th February 2016

Summary:

Prepare and level a difficult area in a new garden. Form large circle, lay membrane, and construct one low bed. Phase One.

Comments:

This was not an easy job, as someone else had started the work very poorly, and Ken cleared it for a fresh start. The levels were all over the place, advice was given about proper drainage and levelling.

Ken discussed everything in detail, gave us excellent advice, and listened to our ideas, and spent a lot of time in the initial preparation. We can already see our ideas taking shape.

Attention to detail and customer service was second-to-none. Quality of work is outstanding.

Ken will be back to do more when we are ready.

He has been booked in to complete this, and then to do our front garden.

We would be prepared to wait for Ken anyway. We would not employ anyone else, and we now only use Safe Local Trades.

Review Date:
26th January 2016

Summary:

Remove conifer hedge and replace with a 45m 6' close board fence.

Comments:

Ken turned up on the day confirmed and worked non stop to complete the job to time. He was here in all weathers to ensure he would meet the deadline even working in the torrential rain. The conifers were removed swiftly and taken away by Ken, there was not a trace of mess left behind. Ken was here first thing in the morning till last light putting up the new fence. The workmanship and ethic of Ken is outstanding and he is a true tradesman who is passionate about his work and this is clearly shown in the new fence erected. I have already asked Ken to quote me on further works as I would not hesitate to employ him again.

Summary:

To lay Indian sandstone to replace existing block paving in the garden.

Comments:

Ken has just finished today, after 4 weeks of top quality craft, and graft. Ken was very good at putting our ideas into reality,and although not asked, he would go the extra mile to make sure every aspect of the work was spot on. His attention to detail, no matter how trivial was the differnce between a good job, to an excellent one.

I would highly recomend Ken, and we are going to have him back to lay a new lawn in the near future.

Review of recommended garden fencing and decking in Peterborough

Review Date:
31st August 2015

Summary:

  • Removal of summerhouse and existing fence
  • Erection of 9m feather edge fencing
  • Erection of pergola
  • 16 sq meter decking

Comments:

Called Ken to quote for work we required in our garden on a Saturday and he came two days later in an evening at a time that suited us. We received a quotation within 48 hours. Once agreed, work started the next week, Ken even works on a Bank Holiday!

Ken is very hardworking and even stayed until 7.30pm on three days out of five to ensure deadlines are met. He is trustworthy as I left the garden and garage gate / door unlocked so work could continue when I was at work. Ken goes above and beyond to ensure quality of job and that the structures will last years. 

I fully recommend Ken and will have him back to do further work in our garden in the autumn.
