John was initially engaged to block pave the front drive and former front garden. He was able to advise us as to the design of the project and the best materials to use working within our budget. The job also required some leveling of the ground and the building of 2 new steps to access the property. John was able to commence and complete the work at very short notice. As a result of the quality of his work, we have also had him to landscape our back garden, which was essentially a sea of mud. This involved some leveling of the ground, the design and laying of paths, building steps and a large patio area together with some turfing. The weather was occasionally adverse but John waited for the right conditions to ensure he did a lovely job rather than try and rush it. We are extremely delighted with his work and what he has achieved for us and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.
