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

Positive attitude, friendly, efficient, cooperative and willing to explain his methods and plans. Worked solidly to complete the job, despite several interruptions from the neighbours.
The new fence and gate looks great. Ken did a great job.

Re-design the patio, path and garden for disabled access.
Comments:
Ken did a superb job. I now have access to the garden for the first time. Ken suggested to use non slip materials for the path and patio for safety, which we have done.
We would thoroughly recommend Ken.
Summary:
To replace fencing to a higher standard down one side of garden.
Comments:
Ken used quality materials, was prompt, arrived on time and completed an excellent job. Would certainly use again.
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.
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:
Old perimeter garden fence and gate removed and replaced with new.
Comments:
All work completed to a very high standard down to the last cm. Fence & gate all built on site. Ken is reliable and friendly and keeps you informed each step of the way and left the site clean and tidy. We shall be having him back to do further work on our garden and we would recommend him to anyone.
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.
Summary:
Turf and shed base
Comments:
once again, Ken provided us with an excellent job getting our side garden turfed properly with all the correct Techniques. And also built us a solid shed base using spare slabs we had, creating a stable and level ground for our next big purchase. we have used Ken for several big garden jobs so far this year and has always provided us an excellent service, highly recommend
Ken was given a brief to follow a sketch of what was required of two levels in the rear garden, he went about his work in a very professional manner and kept us informed at all times at the end of each day. Very hard working with acute attention to detail he takes a great pride in his work and ensures any problems that crop up are discussed, and outcomes agreed before proceeding. Ken was always very timely and kept a neat and tidy area throughout the build, very pleased with the final landscaped area and would highly recommended him.
