    6ft fence panel and arch top gate to be installed
    Dan is a genuine, hardworking man who works really hard for a very good price.I was quoted from other builders around £500 for my job and Dan came in at £220. The materials he uses are very good quality and he is very honest as to what you need and doesnt charge you for any "extras".He is upfront with the price so there are no hidden costs. I was anxious about using Dan due to some feedback left , however now with experience I have no issues with recommending him to anyone. He is time keeping is great, he is easy to contact and stays until your happy with the job. He cuts no corners and even puts extra things in place so you get the best from his work. I am very pleased with my job and keep showing it off to anyone! Thanks Dan!

    Fencing and ground work

    I was quoted £315 for my front garden to be rotavated and layer with 40mm slate chippings When dan arrived he had a ton slate chipping in his van, which i paid £115 for, so much that his van was lowered so much I'm surprised it made it over the speed bumps I had to go to work but told him where I wanted my plants after he dug up soil and put down slate my other half payed him when he left for work later that afternoon, on my arrival home I was greeted with soil dumped in front my garage half garden done and probably about 60kg of slate layed or not even that as I can see the underlay and I still have weeds coming through and the soil is in my green bin. I have tried to call him to say I want rest of job done but get no answer, he also did the same to my neighbour I want my garden finished or a refund as what he has done as a so called professional I could of done myself and probably better

    Answer from tradesperson:

    I took a tone of slate with me and laid a tone of slate with mypex to the measurements I was given by same and done all works asked of me based on them measurements its not my fault if she can't measure properly but I did say I would go back to Finnish but it would cost more being a bigger area than she gave and have had no calls

    A Garden Revival
    I was apprehensive about choosing Dan in the first place, but he was very enthusiastic and convinced me that he would do a 'fantastic' job. Unfortunately Dan abandoned ship before the end. He was supposed to sort out the overloaded skip he filled and transfer the excess to a new one. I had by then paid Dan in full but he did not respond to any of my further communications. I must say I was taken aback with Dan's attitude, especially as he was just starting up on his own and was trying to grow his business. But I have to say overall I was disappointed with the results, as none of the jobs was finished to my complete satisfaction. Mistakes were made and rules were bent and now further work will be needed at more cost to rectify the problem areas.I am sorry to say the jobs fell well short of what I had expected. During the last weeks work was carried out in the late evening in the dark under lamplight or at the weekend (times when we certainly didn't want him here!). I felt then as though we seemed to be an afterthought as Dan had accumulated a lot more work elsewhere and all our jobs were being done in a rush to finish. Dan was not particularly tidy and it was left to us to clear up the mess afterwards. I realise now that our garden required a professional team of landscapers to plan it and do it justice. I'm afraid that this was one project too far for 'Affordable Fencing/Landscaping'

    Replace rear fence and gate

    Dan came round very promptly and stayed until the job was finished. The fence and gate were built to a very high standard and I am very pleased with the results.

    Estimate for fitting a gate

    I can’t praise Dan highly enough. He turned up the time he said he would and kept good communication from the start. He did a good job and didn’t finish until he thought he had completed it to my satisfaction. He is a really nice bloke and nothing was too much trouble for him. I will not hesitate to contact him again for others jobs I need doing in the future and would definitely recommended him to others. Thanks Dan.

    i done a decking job for mark in which he was very happy with the works carried out as a result he asked me to go back and extend his drive from 1 to two parking bays

    Danny from affordable fencing/landscapes quoted us for some decking, he not only gave a very competitive quote but also offered advice on the best way to proceed with our decking. Danny supplied all material and the quality was top notch, his understanding of what a client asks for and delivering the project on time and budget was excellent. I have no reservations recommending Danny and his company as they have come back and done several additional jobs for us since.
