Richard and his team did a first class job for us, taking up an old garage base and installing a raised patio with reclaim sleepers and attractive paving. Also created a raised veg box. Can only recommend this team most highly.

Unfortunately, I have to give a negative review. After 2 months of Richard supplying and fitting reclaimed railway sleepers in my garden they are oozing black tar not suitable for gardens where children are playing. Whilst it is true that Richard did show me the sleepers at no time did he tell me they would leak tar and there was no evidence in the ones I saw prior to fitting to suggest that. I find it totally negligent that at no time in all our conversations about which materials to use that he failed to inform me prior to fitting the sleepers that they would be prone to oozing tar in hot weather. I am now left with having to redo the garden or pay to have the sleepers clad. My only other recourse is to file a claim in small claims court in a effort to recover some of my out of pocket costs. BEWARE - I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND RECLAIMED RAILWAY SLEEPERS FOR USE IN HIGH CONTACT AREAS AND DOMESTIC GARDENS.

Richard was a real find. Very honest and trustworthy and did a superb landscaping job on my garden. He and his small team transformed my sloping and very uneven garden into two distinct tiers using lovely rustic railway sleepers. The top level is laid with artificial grass, and a lower paved patio area with Indian stone. The materials and craftsmanship are of a really high quality. The team were very respectful, removing all garden debris leaving it clean and tidy each day. I was really impressed the friendliness and the way Richard communicated throughout from giving a quote to finishing the job. All in all I couldn't have asked for more and will recommend Richard's services to family and friends.
