Gardener recommendation


Magrat

Recommended Posts

We live in West Dulwich & wanted a gardener to help bring our back garden back to life after several years of neglect. We invited several gardeners to have a look at it & to give us prices. Once they had all been round & discussed the work, and had got back to us with prices, we felt that one person stood out head & shoulders above the rest. He wasn't actually the cheapest, but for what he had suggested doing his price seemed the best value. A couple of the others gadeners suggested less work & their quotes were higher. We mainly made our decision to ask him to do the work based on his enthuseasm & great ideas, although he listened very carefully to our thoughts first. He also showed us pictures of other work he had done which looked fantastic.

Unfortunately since then, my wife has suffered unexpected ill health & we've had to cancel having the work done for now, so we didn't actually get to see what he was going to do come to fuition. However I'd still like to recommend that anyone who's looking for a gardener in the East/West Dulwich or Dulwich Village areas gives him the opportunity to discuss their reqirements with thim, & provide a quote. I feel sure you'll be impressed.

His name is Vincent Galea and his business is called Hennessy and Soames. You can contact him through their web site at www.hennessyandsoames.co.uk or on 07776 485063. And if you're looking for someone to start work in early October I happen to know he's got some availability due to our cancelation, although I'm sure he'll get booked up again fairly quickly.

    • 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?
