I must thank you for the work carried out at the above address.
I had sought your advice with concerns of a poorly laid drive that had been in place for several years. A building survey had highlighted the fact that remedial action was reguired to prevent the early signs of damp detected through two walls.
Upon your inspection you had also noted another issue which would also have allowed water ingress due to missing mortar at ground level.
Your quote for remedial work and materials was fair and I had no hesitatisn in engaging your expert knowledge and experience.
I appreciated your punctuality and keeping me up to date on progress. The standard of work assured me that I had engaged a proffesional tradesman who was sympathetic and actively contributing to the local environment. The finished work has removed the risk of future damp and has, in my opinion, enhanced the look to my property along the two affected walls.
I would certainly recommend AB Landscapes to anyone who required your skills and expertise.Murrie FranksLeyburnEver since we moved into the house the front lawn has never looked right, the drought this summer didn't help much either. When Tony carried out an investigative "dig" into the turg it was obvious that there was very little top-soil before he hit bedrock.
He has now built a low retaining wall in stone (which looks very good) treated the existing grass, and with the addition of horse manure, sand and plenty of new top-soil, created a solid base which he has re-turfed.
Weather-wise, it must have been the worst week in the year, but he persevered under these dreadful circumstances and we are very happy with our much improved front garden.
Together with advice he has offered regarding upkeep, we can look forward to a bright outlook next summer.
Thank you Tony, we have no hesitation in recommending you and continue to do so.Patricia MilnerLeyburnTony worked for a week to dig up two large overgrown beds and replace these with hardcore and hessian sheeting, which was then covered with gravel and large rocks and completed with neat and effective edging stones. The finished effect transformed the garden and has made a considerable difference to the ongoing maintenance.
From the initial very fair quote to the final clearing up Tony proved to be completely reliable and incredibly hardworking, not stopping even in a (very unusual) heatwave! He is very easy to talk to and makes many helpful suggestions throughout. The standard of his work is very high, based on his considerable experience, and we have absotutely no hesitation in recommending him; we would use Tony again with every confidence.Trish MillerLeyburnI recently engaged Tony to undertake the laying of a patio, clearance and laying of turf in my small orchard and general clearance of other parts of my garden. Tony quickly produced a very reasonable estimate for the work and carried everything out quickly and efficiently including the purchase of the patio slabs, turf and the organising of skips to remove the garden waste produced by his efforts.
I would not hesitate to recommend AB Landscapes for any garden projects you may wish to undertake.David ShawBedaleWe have used AB Landscapes on two occasions for landscaping work in our garden and we have no hesitation in recommending them.
Tony provides an accurate quote before the work starts and this only changes if you decide that you want something done differently. He turns up when he says he will and gets the job done with plenty of old fashioned graft. He is respectful to neighbours and keeps inconvenience down to a minimum. He will provide helpful advice and leave you in no doubt about what can be achieved.John & DianaLeyburnMany thanks for doing such a skilled job on relaying our terrace with such attractive Indian stone and constructing steps and sorting out paths for us.
We were impressed by your punctuality coming when you said and taking care to do such a good job. Your years of experience certainly show in your work.
We would recommend you to anyone requiring this sort of work. We will certainly ask you back for further work.JudithLeyburnJust to say many thanks for a brilliant job done!
Our drive looks amazing and so many people have stopped us to say how much better it looks.
If you need a reference any time let us know. Many thanks again!Jimmy & MichelleBedale
