I asked originally to have new fencing panels put in, a new patio placed at the top of my garden and to have my new shed built. What I now have are absolutely beautiful fence panels that will last for ages. Even more amazing is the wonderful raised patio at the back of my garden, which I am absolutely overjoyed with. Thank you so much Alex you have done an absolutely amazing job and I would without hesitation hire your company to do anything landscaping related again.
