Decorator/Gardener recommendation


Recommended Posts

Thank you Steve at D.G. Services ([email protected])


Following the overhaul of my yoga studio, you have now completed another fantastic job for my family.


My mother is delighted with the garden and said you and your colleague were faultless. I wanted to personally thank you for making it extremely straightforward for her. It looks like a different garden and we love the edging around the seating area that you suggested. More importantly though, the garden is now a garden!


Thank you.

Steve came to our garden yesterday and did an amazing job at tidying up the garden, trimming hedges and plants, weeding, clearing ivy, tidying up the deck etc etc, he was here when he said he would be and did a full day's work at a great price. I am amazed at how much he was able to do in the time, it would have taken us several weekends to achieve the same. I can't recommend Steve highly enough, we are really pleased.

I have recently moved to east dulwich and have used steve from D.G.S again he has painted the interior of my house to the highest standard and also done some garden work for me he applied fencing and laid a large lawn.

Steve is Always a pleasure to deal with great time keeping,very friendly/hard working and carrys out an excellent quality of work when ever I use him.


His email is- [email protected]

I recently used Steve to do some gardening work in my front garden clearing the weed, grass, rubbish etc etc. Steve did a wonderful first class job and i will have no hesitation in reccomending steve for any gardening work to friends family etc etc.

Steve rates are excellent and he is a very friendly guy.

Steve is your man

Just wanted to add my recommendation for Steve's gardening services.

Steve carried out a massive garden clean up at our place over this week-end and did a really neat job.

He came on his van equipped with his own gardening tools, trimmed our overgrown front hedge, mowed the back garden, pruned back all our creepers and shrubs leaving everything nicely clean and organised.

We have garden wastage bin and bags but I believe he can also remove the rubbish if you need to.

Steve was very thorough, organised and fast. He takes pride in his work and made sure I was completely happy with the job before calling it finished. He is also trustworthy, polite and an all-around nice chap. I will definitely call him again to maintain the garden.

We have just had Steve paint a bedroom (with a lot of woodwork) and a bathroom ceiling. Steve worked long hours but we hardly knew that he was there. He was neat and tidy at the end of the day minimising the impact to us. His prices are reasonable too. Would recommend Steve.

Another fantastic job completed by Steve for us this week. He came when he said he would, kept in touch by text and email and did a great job repainting the ceiling after a leak. I am really pleased with the work done and how tidy Steve left the room.

I've had the benefit of lots of good recommendations from this forum. I don't like to leave negative feedback online as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I feel I need to be fair to others as I got my recommendation for him from this very thread, so... we engaged Steve to remove a concrete plinth and a wall from our garden, build a small wall and returf the lawn. Our experience of him was truly dreadful. He would constantly come up with excuses as to why he wasn't turning up and delays. We heard every excuse under the sun. He quoted 1 week, it took 4. Yes, 4. He responded to legitimate requests as to how he was going to finish to schedule with a tirade of abuse over email to my wife, the like of which I have never seen. He then took an extra 3 weeks. This was accompanied by aggressive chasing for payment when the job was still incomplete. The work he carried out was seriously substandard, the lawn has been greeted by laughter (I'm serious) from people who've seen it. The walls: we now need to engage someone else do a proper job of what he did badly, all to our extra cost. Perhaps he had never built a wall before (it certainly looks that way) and it was too much for him, but then he shouldn't have taken the job on. He seemed very chaotic, disorganised and unprofessional. And we really didn't appreciate the weirdly over the top emails which bordered on unhinged. He also left my property in a poor state which meant a day of me and my wife clearing up behind him which we could have done without. If I could track down an address for him I'd be recovering my costs from him in the courts.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
