Really great work in tidying up my garden. Grafted hard to clean out the weeds, trimmed down my tree and hedges, and took all the waste away. All this during a very wet day. Quoted and agreed a great price, having travelled from Bristol to South Wales valleys. Definitely would use again. Many thanks Ian.
