Recommendation for Landscape Gardner - Decking


MightyMouse

Recommended Posts

This is a review of Landscape Gardener Stephen Young from my husband - an architect who is very picky about this kind of thing!


We employed Stephen Young ([email protected]) to replace 25sqm of our existing rotten decking. He came up with some good improvements from the original deck, was reasonably priced, honest about when he could start, easy to get on with, friendly to the kids, didn't cut corners, did a good job and made a good effort at not making the inside of the house dirty (everything had to come through the house). We'd definitely use him again.

I booked Stephen Young on the strength of MightyMouse's recommendation which I found on the Forum, he has just finished the work and I am really delighted with what he has done. I asked him to remove and fill in a large and stagnant pond, to remove some rotten decking and build a substantial stone step in its place, and to tidy up the garden generally, including adding extra gravel. The stone step in particular is excellent as he cleverly reused old materials and as a result it looks like it has been there forever. He is very good to deal with and he works in an orderly and tidy way. I therefore would highly recommend him for any landscaping work.

    • An update, and at the bottom of the article ways to get involved and have a voice. National 'conversation' responses close 14th Jan.  https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/leaks-denials-fake-conversations-not-inspire-parental-confidence-send/ Closer to home, Councillor Ali has conducted a review of parent and child experiences of exclusions in Southwark and reports back to those who contributed at a dated TBC in January. If it is a date which I can attend then I'll share feedback. If not, is anyone else going who could let me know what is said?
    • I’m not an expert either but surely having that high of affordable housing would seem like a terrible investment. My guess is that they will pay southwark a fine then make the rest of it student housing too
    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
    • I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.
