Review of recommended garden clearance and groundwork in Folksworth

Review Date:
21st October 2024

Summary:

Garden clearance and shed bases.

Comments:

I cannot fault Steve for his approach to our garden project. I found him to be both conscientious and courteous and someone who takes great pride in his work. He is punctual (almost to the minute - don't say 07:30 start if you don't mean it!) and does an outstanding job for a fair price - fair day's wage for a fair day's work and all that.

Our job required the removal of several tree stumps, clearing about 70sq metres of garden before putting down the weed membrane & gravel and then laying a 10'x8'concrete shed base as well. Initially, he thought it would take the best part of a week, but good weather and his work rate meant it was done in three days! Excellent news for the Mem Sahib who is now busy planning where to put all her plant pots.

As I said, an incredibly hard worker, he is polite and provides top quality workmanship, he gives sound advice and will try to save you money if he can. I cannot recommend him highly enough and, as with all good tradesmen, he is always busy, so book early and expect to wait a while - BUT, the finished product is well worth the waiting for - just ask my missus! Nice one, Steve, thanks again.

Review of recommended hard landscaping in Peterborough

Review Date:
7th October 2024

Summary:

New patio area. 

Comments:

Stephen kept to his reviews as he worked really hard to take away a lot of soil, laid slabs and washed gravel. He has made us a lovely patio area for future outside seating.

Stephen worked hard, was always polite and went through everything he was doing with us. He cleaned up every day after finishing and even came on weekend to finish the job as heavy rain held him back. Will certainly call Stephen back to do other side of garden.

Thank you very much.

Review Date:

Summary:

New paving in back garden. Steve removed my old decking which was rotten and laid a new Indian Sandstone paving in its place and round the side by the back door. 

Comments:

Steve has a great work ethic and takes pride in his work. He carries out his work as though he's working in his own property. He's a friendly genuine person and I would recommend him to anyone. I'm hoping to get him back to carry out more work on my property. Thank you very much.

Summary:

Full garden revamp including fencing, patios and new lawn.

Comments:

We would totally recommend Steve, his work is exceptional. He's very fairly priced, very reliable and our garden looks absolutely fantastic. 

Steve will go that extra mile for his customers making sure that he works with you and keeping you included throughout the job. We changed our minds several times during the project but Steve was more than happy to change things for us with out any fuss.

Would 100% recommend him.

Review of recommended driveway and patio installations in Peterborough

Review Date:
25th March 2024

Summary:

Three large jobs including new driveways and patios.

Comments:

Steve carried out three large jobs – the first was my daughter’s property where everything needed to be dug out, the groundwork prepared, followed by the installation of a block-paved driveway and a patio to the rear. Stunning results.

I had an old driveway that had sunk and looked dreadful. Steve did a complete replacement of this and I couldn’t be happier with my new driveway.

He then also carried out a complete renewal of block paving, repairing a wall and more; at a property on Oundle Road.

There is absolutely nothing that I could fault Steve on. He has the most amazing work ethic, he’s an incredible hard worker (never stops!), extremely polite, top quality workmanship, punctual, tidy, gives great advice and tries to save you money wherever he can. He is such a tidy worker and all rubble is removed from site.

I am so impressed with Steve – he is absolutely marvellous, a real genuine gentleman that knows his trade inside out and always ensures that he does a perfect job.

I cannot recommend him highly enough and, if he is busy, he is ‘definitely’ worth waiting for.

Review of recommended new patio installation in Fletton, Peterborough

Review Date:
6th March 2024

Summary:

Replacement patio.

Comments:

My neighbour was having some work done whilst they were away on holiday and I was in charge of making Steve a cuppa!

He was so polite, courteous, gracious and kind and was so grateful to me.

I asked him to provide a quote for some work in my garden, which consisted of a complete overhaul - removal of a brick wall, take up the existing patio and install a new one.

I could not be happier with my new patio - he did a marvellous job - it looks beautiful and has entirely transformed my back garden.

I have already recommended Steve to others and am looking forward immensely to making good use of my new patio this summer.

Review of recommended new patio installation in Ramsey St Mary's

Review Date:
8th February 2024

Summary:

New patio.

Comments:

Steve is by far one of the best tradesmen that has ever carried out work for me. Our first encounter was when he was doing some work for my neighbour. As I work in the construction industry, I knew that he was doing a ‘proper’ job, and therefore following the completion of the project next door, I asked him to lay a new patio for me. 

The work, service and communication throughout was first class. He is a true professional, very competent at his trade, very conscientious, takes great pride in his work and is such a lovely bloke – an adorable, genuine, trustworthy, honest man, who did an outstanding job for a fair price.

I then recommended him to my ex-Mother-in-law who had a large job for him to do, and she was equally as impressed as I was.

I could not be happier with the patio; it is still immaculate two years on.

I have absolutely no hesitation in continuing to recommend Steve to everyone.
