This will be the third time that I have called on Ken to do my landscaping and, as per usual, he returned my quotation within a few days and again I was happy with the price quoted.
He turned up every day on time and his attention to detail faultless.
My decking is just as I had wanted and I have already received comments on how well it looks. I had asked Ken for his advice on how to cover an old large tree stump, and he suggested a bistro area constructed with sleepers and covered with decking - I have now recieved a rough drawing for this and price and I will be booking him in to complete the works for me as soon as I can.
Thanks again Ken, another job well done.

Was very pleased with work done. Very nice chap who is thorough about quality rather than rushing to get things done quickly and not doing it well; even though this was a small job which wouldn't cost much!

Arrived on time, got on with the job, no fuss and a great friendly team. Also my garden looks amazing.
Summary:
Ken replaced our fence in the back garden - 19 new panels plus concrete posts and concrete gravel boards. He took down the old fence and a shed that was falling down and got rid of it all.
He also laid a patio at the back of the garden of about 70 paving slabs, with red bricks running along the edge, plus a path from our existing patio up to the new patio.
And he also laid new turf between the old and new patios.
Comments:
It took Ken about 10 days in total, but a lot of the problems that he encountered were due to the fact that our garden is surrounded by other people's gardens, so he had to contend with decking areas and greenhouses that were right next to our old fence. Not only that, but the old posts were concreted in with huge amounts of concrete, that he had to remove before he could put the new posts in. In fact, at one point, the concrete broke the power tool that he was using to smash it all up, so he ended up having to buy a new one.
He definitely knew what he was doing though, and has done an excellent job. Our garden looks fantastic - we definitely appreciate what he has done for us, and I hope that he is pleased with what he did too, even if it was a bit more work than he originally expected.
We are already considering asking him to replace our old patio to match the new one, as the old one looks very sorry for itself now, compared to the rest of the garden! :)
Summary:
Fence post had come loose in the recent high winds. Needed new post sitting into a concrete mounting, which required two panels to be removed and replaced after new post fitted.

The work was completed in my absence with no sign of any damage or disruption to garden.
The neighbour stated:-
"Fence wise, we're both extremely happy. Ken was a good bloke and clearly takes lots of pride in his work. Ken was always keen to explain what he was doing and why. I'll be sure to call him for any future landscaping work".

Mr Borland responded really quickly to my initial enquiry and offered me sound advice about what needed dooing and when.
His team came and did an excellent job replacing a post and a panel and left the garden nice and tidy.
No fuss, no problems.
A job well done!
Thank you Mr Borland.
Once again Ken has done an excellent job, my garden now looks very smart and tidy. Ken arrived when arranged and completed the job in a day, taking all the rubbish away with him. The price was very reasonable.
This is the second time I have used Ken - last year he replaced my back fencing and built a patio. Then as well he produced a fantastic job, all to a very high standard and well priced.
Please don't be put off by the comment that Ken did not turn up to quote for a job - that is not like him at all. He is always prompt, polite, extremely hard working and reliable. He always provides good value for money. It is always difficult to know who to use for work on your house and who to trust, but I know that I can always rely on Ken to do a job well and I would recommend him to everyone.
