Jake did a fantastic job and worked very hard in the hot weather to get everything done in time.
The job ended up being more work than expected as there turned out to be a very large amount of rubble buried under the garden area to be cleared around 20 tonnes in total. However, Jake did not charge for the extra time it took to clear the area, only the additional amount of top soil which was entirely reasonable.
As well as clearing the area to a very high standard it was obvious that Jake had excellent knowledge and experience of landscaping and horticulture. He constructed the picket fence perfectly and also neatly applied tongue and groove cladding to the walled area. He planted the new hedge with care and took on board all of my decisions throughout.
In the past I have found that tradespeople sometimes don’t listen and prefer to do things their way, but the opposite is true of Jake as he fully took onboard everything I said as well as providing his advice when I asked for it.
He laid the turf path carefully and went out of his way to source good quality wild flower seeds to create the meadow area.
Overall he did a fantastic job and I couldn’t have wished for a better outcome.
I will be getting in touch with Jake when I have future landscaping and outdoor works to be done.
With many thanks, Liz
