We have had a new lawn laid, including removal of the existing 'turf', rotovating, levelling, adding top soil, new turf etc.
Found Maple / Richard through this website. Absolutely delighted with such a first class and professional service and cannot recommend him highly enough.
The outcomes he has delivered for the new lawn are excellent, the pricing was very reasonable ( I did have other quotes), including the additional works that I asked to be added afterwards, for tree services etc.
Richard always responded promptly to any calls, and all aspects of the works, from time taken, attention to detail, quality of materials and the way he works, were completely professional. He is also very pleasant and easy to deal with.

Thoroughly satisfied clients. (Reviewed March 2017)
My side gate from the front to back garden was in poor repair and Richard undertook to replace it with a sturdy and secure wooden gate, new posts and with a good lock that can be easily opened by me from the side-way (has a security feature that is child proof which I like), can be hooked back for ease of transit and needs a key from the outside for security. It is finished to a high standard to protect it from the elements. I am very pleased. (Reviewed February 2017)
My sister and I used this trader to tidy my father's very overgrown and unkempt garden and to maintain it afterwards. His work was impeccable. Our previous gardener had chosen to charge for visits he didn't make - but Richard attended every time he said he would which gave us peace of mind. After the initial clear up the garden was maintained to a high standard. I wish Richard lived near me so I could employ him to keep my garden as nice as he kept my dad's. (Reviewed November 2016)
Richard was very professional in his approach and expertly knowledgeable in all matters relating to gardens and lawns.
