New patios/garden path and removal of AstroTurf and new lawn laid
Sam and Nigel did such a good job of our garden, it is transformed. They were polite, friendly and kept us informed with what they were doing and would check we were happy with their ideas. The finish of our patios and path are exceptional and the new lawn looks fabulous, we were also very impressed with how tidy they were. We would not hesitate to recommend them. (Customer in Woking - 30 July 2015)
Complete re-landscaping of gardens including structural walls, patio, creating new levels and putting up fencing
I could not recommend Sam and Nigel highly enough. We have had so many compliments about the work they have done; I have already recommended them to many friends and neighbours. They are a brilliant combination skill, experience and artistic vision, able to adapt to clients' expectations and any challenge that the job may present. The standard of work is incredibly high, they work like absolute Trojans (even in 32 degrees heat!), always arrive early and on many occasions finished late to stay on schedule. They finished the job under budget, on time, and went above and beyond our expectations. (Customer in Farnham - 16 June 2015)

Removal of conifer trees
Have used Sam and Nigel twice before. A date was given but they managed to get to do the work earlier. 6 conifers to cut down and remove, including 2 behind my greenhouse. No broken glass. They are both exceptional workers. When they left everything was tidy and the only sign of any work having been carried out was a small amount of sawdust. Can only repeat they are excellent, no worries in recommending them. (Customer in Fleet - 19 June 2014)
Filling in swimming pool and installing a water tank in the hole
This is the third job that Nigel and Sam have completed for me. Their standard of work has been consistently high. They always take time and trouble to consult closely on what is required and always keep me up to date as work progresses. Excellent all round. (Customer in Farnham - 8 May 2014)

Repair to driveway of damage caused by uprooted fallen tree
The work was carried out exactly as promised and with efficiency and sensitivity to the fact that it involved access to our property.

Dig out raised area of garden to produce paved seating area
Would highly recommend this team. Everything completed in a swift and very tidy manner. The whole thing has turned out even better than we hoped thanks to their skills. They even made us a table and benches. Definitely getting them back to do the driveway. (Customer in Aldershot - 14 October 2013)
