Review from kenny99452, Hamilton Review left on 25 Jun 2023Rating: 1 out of 5Garden landscapingI was initially very impressed with the approach to the job that Derek took. The job started well and there was good progress over the first few days. Then I noticed that the workmen were throwing rubbish over my fence into the wild area to the rear of my property. I contacted Derek and he did sort that but not before it was remarked upon by my neighbours which was extremely embarrassing. The last part of the job was carried out while we were on holiday and involved the laying of our artificial grass. When we returned we noticed there were several joins in the grass when we had been told that this had been specifically measured to avoid joins. When I contacted Derek I was told this would mesh together in time. After several months where these joins started to separate I sought the advice of a specialist in artificial grass who advised me that no less than 4 off-cuts of artificial grass had been used and that one of these was a totally different type of grass to the rest. I had to pay £800 to have this rectified and now have a lovely lawn with zero joins. I also complained that after laying the slabs my shed door would not shut properly (it still doesn't). Again this was attended to while we were away (Derek is a friend of a friend so I felt comfortable with him working unsupervised). Instead of adjusting the slabs they removed the door of the shed and sawed a piece of it! Several of my slabs have also sunk and had to be relaid as the bed of sand used was too deep. Poor jobReview from eileen53012, Wishaw eileen53012, Wishaw
Review left on 31 Mar 2021Rating: 1 out of 5New composite deckingI was given a date on February for work to commence April I had not heard anything from Custom Landscape on 30th March I contacted them and received text Saying it would be July before work would startAnswer from tradesperson:
Good morning Eileen,so sorry you felt the need to leave negative feedback,however i will try my best to offer a solution to get the job moving forward for you. As discussed at the time of quote composite decking was available (silver grey) due to the overwhelming demand for garden projects this year already and with covid still affecting production/delivery from shipping ports etc my supplier told me they had no composite in the country and wont expect a delivery till late May,i did try to source elswhere to no avail! The July date was the knock on effect from this as i have other customers booked in also. I did also say the composite has risen in price since i had quoted due to demand but i was more than happy to absorb that increase and keep cost same as original. Can i suggest if you are able to source the composite at this moment in time then i will be delighted to keep your job on schedule.Failing that perhaps there may be a contractor who had a stockpile of composite sitting awaiting new customers. Kind regards Derek

Review left on 29 Oct 2020Rating: 5 out of 5New monoblock drivewayDerek and his team (Dougie and Rab) were absolutely spot on from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a better job, so happy with the final outcome. They were extremely efficient, tidied up at the end of each day, and left a very satisfactory job. If anyone is looking for a company to do their landscaping (we got a new monoblock driveway and gravel area with stepping stones) then look no further than Custom Landscapes. Will definitely be contacting them when we get our back garden done.Review from bluesky_67, Glasgow bluesky_67, Glasgow

Review left on 23 Apr 2019Rating: 5 out of 5solve drainage problem in back gardenI hired Derek to sort my badly draining lawns front and back. He and his men were friendly and knowledgeable and completed the work promptly and for the price quoted. Unfortunately there was a requirement for him to come back out and do some additional work in the back garden, but Derek was as good as his word and personally came and did this work himself and the problem is solved. I now have great drainage, no more sodden grass, and I am happy to recommend him.Review from mickhealy83, Glasgow mickhealy83, Glasgow
