d and l landscaping

Recommended Posts

I have had an awful experience with these landscapers which I took from a recommendation on the forum. Do NOT use D and L Landscaping. They have taken a large deposit and done a terrible job. If anyone else want to report them please get in touch as they need to be stopped before they rip anyone else off.

We feel that it is necessary to reply to this ridiculous slating from a very difficult former client. From the start of this job he has been strange; changing decisions already agreed on numerous occasions,and then not transferring funds needed to continue with the work as specified in the original quote and agreed by him. Instead of discussing this with us he has chosen to try to slander us on this forum and has made threats to" chase us down" and comments such as scumbags etc etc. We were warned by his current tennants that he is very difficult as a landlord and tried to avoid paying a previous tradesman which was worrying to hear. After not agreeing to further funding and suddenly becoming very rude and aggressive instead of calmly negotiating with us we decided to reluctantly stop the work and remove our tools. We have provided him with a breakdown of all costs/works and we are out of pocket. However, 2 days ago he was happy that we had "cracked the back of it" and what a complicated job it is.He is holding back over ?2000 pounds owed oabdn completion of 3 more days work. We were suspicious that as a property developer he doesn't appear to have a team working regularly for him. Finally he conducts himself in a highly unprofessional manner and we absolutely implore any local tradespeople to have nothing whatsoever to do with him. I would just like to add that he was uncontactable on far too many occasions when important decision needed to be made

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
