It is not about how fast you get a job done, it’s how well it looks and above all, how long the construction and design lasts! It’s the bits you don’t see that make strong foundations for a long-lasting job.

Over the years, work increased from small patios to large complex jobs to working with property developers on large complexes. Also, I spent a period of time helping with designing and directing spaces for people. Over 20 years of being involved in and around gardens and all their complexities.
