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.

    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
    • Was the driver still with it when the police arrived?
