L and M have recently carried out major landscapeing work for us.
This involved a main block driveway, removal of deep concreate prior to paving of patio and path, plus re-turfing and a new patio area build in an elevated postition which had to be done manually due to access problems.
We found them to be prompt, efficient, courteous and professsional at all times with a good team.
Professional advice was always available.
We are very pleased with the high quality of the work done and materials used and would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone.We would certainly use them again.

We approached Lee last year to lay a lawn for us and we were so impressed with his team's work and professionalism that we had no hesitation in employing their services this year.
After recently finishing a large building project we needed to tidy up the landscape the drive and surrounding garden. Lee was our first choice and he came down to discuss ideas with us particually taking note that, due to other commitments, we needed a low maintainence garden. He came up with a practical design to suit our needs whilst remaining sympathetic to our existing limitations.
Lee and his team arrived on time and worked very hard to achieve their goals in the time specified. They were all friendly, polite and very helpful and Lee was on hand to make sure that any aspect of the work was carried out to our satisfaction.They were very tidy and everything was put away at the end of every day so that we suffered no inconvenience whilst they carried out their work.
The job was completed on time with hardly any disruption to our family. We particually like the patio area with the water feature, drive and extra lawn. The new paving at the begining of the drive has transformed the entrance to the property. We are extremely happy with the standard and quality of work done by Lee and his teamand thank them for making this an exciting and stress free experience. I can't wait for next spring when we can relax in the beautiful surroundings they have worked so hard to create.
Thank you
Mr & Mrs Harrison

Dear Lee
Just a few lines to say massive thank you to you and your team for transforming an outdated garden into a modern, low maintainence development that now compliments our conservatory and rear of the home perfectly.
From the moment we spoke on the telephone though to the visits and planning there was never a doubt that we would ask Lee to undertake this project.
The confidence and professionalism protrayed by Lee proved to be well founded during the project not withstanding the fact that the existing garden shrubs and trees all had to be dug out by hand because of excess restrictions to the garden.
The care taken by Lee in ensuring our property was always adequately protected was exemplory as was his punctuality and his knack of including us in the descisions to any minor changes.
Lee would also provide us with a day to day evaluation of how the project was progessing and any setbacks he had had to overcome with an approximate completion date.
To sum up I would say I could not have chosen a more honest, hardworking, personable individual who's workmanship was of the highest quality and would havew no hesitation in recommending Lee and his team to any perspective interested customer.
Yours
Gary and Babs

Dear Lee
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the guys for carrying out such a superb job on our garden.
From the moment you first came round to see us you put both my wife and I at ease with your professionalism and friendly nature.
Your estimate was very detailed, and the computer plan of finished garden a real professional touch.
You gave us both the reassurance that we would get a high quality job carried out.
We were not dissapointed! Everything you and your team did in the garden was carried out to the highest standards, with quality materials.
As the project progressed, and we asked for a few extra jobs we flet that nothing we asked was too much trouble for you to carry out and it was alway apparent that your main aim throughout the project was to ensure that we as the customers were happy.
In this day and age it is nice to find a company that you can be 100% confident in recommending to friends and family, and your company is definitely one of these!
I would have no hesitation in giving L and M Landscapes the highest recommendation at any time.
Please feel free to use our garden as an example of your work, and if you need an oral recommendation please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Yours Truly

We would like to document our appreciation and complete satisfation with the work recently undertaken on our garden and patio area, by Lee and his team from L and M Landscapes and Garden design.
We are really please not just with the final result, but with the manner in which the work was taken.
Several companies were initially contacted about the work, obtaining quotations from two. We were immediately impressed and put at ease by Lee's friendly and professional approach.
Following the initial meeting a CAD drawing of what had been discussed was produced.
At a second meeting, the proposals were refine and a second CAD drawing together with a quotation was produced.
A provisional start date was agreed together with the duration of the works.
Lee kept us frequesntly updated on progress towards the actual start date and duly arrived with his team on the agreed start date.
As the work was undertaken, we were kept regularly informed of what was happening and futher refinements were agreed as the scheme progressed.
The project entailed lifting/demolishing the exisiting lawn, some hedging, patio and retaining wall and removing the rubble from sight.
Installing land drains, rotavating, top soiling, erecting fencing, laying new turf, building new retaining walls, laying new patio and building a water feature.
The site was left clean and tidy at the end of each working day and the whole scheme completed on time, to an excellent standard and within budget.
We were giving advice on how to look after the new lawn, take care of the patio and given guidence on matching, during the Autumn, some existing hedging that had perished.
We have no hesitation in recommending L and M Landscapes Garden design to prospective customers.

Dear Lee
I would like to place on record my greatful thanks to you for the excellent job you have done in re-vamping our garden.
We got rid of the lawn a few years ago but never managed to get the borders looking as we would have liked.
Not understanding gardening we managed to overcrowd the borders making it difficult for the plants to thrive - hence bring in the professionals!
Dave and I are really pleased with the end result.
The garden in now weed free, looking healthy with only half as many plants.
It seams to have opened up the area completly, giving us a feeling of spaciousness.
Welll done Lee on a brilliant job!
Yours Sincerely
Linda Wood.

We are absolutly delighted with the transformation of our garden.
We had ideas of what we would like and searched on the internet for a local firm.
L and M Landscapes website impressed us with a whole collection of photographs of completed work and heart felt testimonials from satisfied customers.
Lee came along to discuss ideas and we were soon confident in his knowlage of the subject and his development of our initial ideas.
The work proceeded as planned with the minimum of inconvenience and intrusion to us.
Lee and his team were most courteous and helpful throughout.
The
finished results exceeded our expectations and we now have an outside space to be proud of.
We would not hesitate to use Lee again or recommend him to others.

Dear Lee
We write to expess our appreciation for the good work you did on our driveways, paths and patio area with the laying of block paving.
We could not help but be impressed with the efficiency with which you carried out the work, the attention to detail and the friendlyness of your team.
We were impressed also with the courtious manner in which the initial consultation was conducted, the detail and acceptability of the quote and the assurance that the work would be completed by our specified date.
The result is a 100% improvement and has already received many compliments.
The paving had a really good test recently when we had a torrential downpour; needless to say everything was perfect - not a puddle in sight!
We would not hesitate to recomenned your work to others.
By the way - you build a very nice wall!
We will certainly contact you again should we need any more work doing in the future.
Thanks Again.

L and M Landscape garden design.
When we were thinking about landscapeing our back garden we spoke to a lot of companies, most of whome found difficulty in meeting our needs.
Lee immeadiatly understood what we were trying to achieve and produced a design which met our personal needs together with a value for money package.
We were extreemly impressed by the quality of his work and that of his team; they were always on time and extremely reliable and trustworthy.
We were particually impressed by the quality of Lee's, his father and Russell's work, their eye for detail, the courteous and good - humoured way in which they undertook the work and the fact that they left the working area so clean and tidy afterwards.
We were so impressed with the back garden that twelve months later we commissioned Lee and his team to landscape our front garden.
Again we are absolutly delighted with the results.
Lee and his team have undertaken two major landscape projects for us and we have absolutly no hesitation in recommending L and M Landscapes and garden design to you.
A fine job completed by a very professional
company.

Dear Lee
It would be remiss of us not to express our thanks for the work carried out on our garden. We are really pleased, not just with the end result, but with the manner in which the work was completed.
We appreciated Lees Promptness in attending all his initial appointments, and also that he kept us informed of when the work would begin. Once underway, Lee and his team stayed with the project to completion.
All materials for the job seemed to arrive in good time(usually 7.30am) on the day that they were required, and all rubbish was removed before the end of each days work.
This was a big project, on rising land, involving the redesign of the whole of the garden. As a result we now have a garden that we can maintain, and above all we have a view from the patio doors that we can enjoy for a long time to come.
So we say sincere “Thank you” to Lee and his dad for their hard work and commitment.
Yours truly,
Jennifer & Jim Pritchard

Whilst considering renewing the front drive of my house the nightmare of choosing a company that I had no experience of loomed. I contacted a few getting quotes from two. I was immediately put at ease by Lee of L & M Landscapes with his professional and friendly approach. I had ideas and Lee listened then suggested some of his ideas. Consolidating on both he went away and provided a CAD drawing of the design. He had estimated approximately 7 working days to block pave a drive of 65m² with a border and build a wall to one side with two drive entrance pillars which seemed to be a fare estimate.
As organised, he arrived on the day we had set and started the overwhelming task of clearing the drive, trust me, it was a real mess. The friendly and professional manner continued with Lee staying on site throughout the duration.
The work was all complete by the 7th working day as we had organised. The finish is to a very high standard which I am very happy and content with. The block paving is the most level I have seen which I have now been using for three weeks. It is finished off with a very well constructed and pointed wall. The quoted price was reasonable in comparison to others but for the finished product it was a very good price for such workmanship. If we move house we would certainly contact Lee and his team again for another drive. Many neighbours have questioned me on who did such a nice drive.
I would certainly recommend using Lee and his team.

I would just like to inform you how pleased we are with the work you have done with the new patio and water feature that you put in for us.
From the first contact to the end of the work and after sales service, you and your dad have acted in a friendly and professional way. Everything was explained thoroughly and was made easy to understand. The standard of work was very impressive.
I have no hesitation in recommending your company and would use you again if any more work was required.
I wish you all the best for the future.
Thanks

L & M Landscapes recently undertook the job of removing our old patio area and relaying/redesigning the new patio area.
Lee and the team did an excellent job and were reliable and trustworthy.
The job was completed with the minimum of disruption to ourselves and they left our property clean and tidy throughout the entire time they were working on the project.
We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the work and would definitely not hesitate to use L & M Landscapes for any future gardening/landscaping jobs that we may have.
We would highly recommend L & M Landscapes to prospective customers .

My wife and I approached L&M Landscapes on recommendation from a friend and now have no hesitation in recommending them to others following a recent project.
Lee provided a great consultancy service from the outset, listening to our initial ideas and concepts, and helping us to design a garden which was just right for us. All costs, including labour and materials were clearly explained and agreed up-front before work commenced.
The plan involved a full-scale renovation of our back garden including the construction of a substantial patio with lighting, a lawned area, large decking with water feature and a planted border. It extended to a paved area down one side of the house and the construction of a new feature rockery on our front driveway.
Although the job took approximately one week longer than originally planned, the team worked around atrocious weather conditions and finished the project at no additional cost.
We were involved and consulted throughout the project often resulting in last minute modifications when we changed our mind. Their flexible and friendly approach sets them apart from others. We were briefed each night on progress achieved that day and plans for the next.
Whilst completing the project, the team were never intrusive, treating both us and our home with great respect. It was a pleasure doing business with the team from L&M, who we are now happy to consider as friends.

All my ideas were approached with enthusiasm and I was pleased with the ideas put forth by Lee and his Dad.
I wish to thank them for the fabulous job they have done with greatdiligence, care and minimum fuss. I have no hesitation inrecommending them.

Many Thanks for Job Well done
I realise the volume wasn’t there if you compare it with the work in your portfolio, however we appreciated you took on the smaller work.

What a wonderful experience and one that I would love to have all over again, but I cannot foresee ever leaving this garden as Lee, his father and employee have given me the garden that I have always wanted.
Right from the initial phone call the professionalism, honesty and understanding of L & M shone through. Lee made an appointment and at our first meeting I knew that he instantly understood what I wanted. The important thing for me was that the company that I employed had to respect my existing garden and much loved plants but still be able to give me a garden that met my needs. Since working full time I hadn’t the time to dedicate to my garden and the existing lay out wasn’t giving me what I wanted, a garden to relax and socialise in but also to be able to potter and enjoy it all, without feeling that it is a chore.
Lee returned with a drawing and a quotation that was within my budget. I felt that I could completely trust them to do the work while I was at my work and this proved to be the case. Each evening Lee phoned me to give me a progress report, which wasn’t really necessary as every evening I was delighted with the amount of work that had been done and it was really exciting to see the progress every day. Lee also let me know what they were doing the next day and we were always on the same wavelength regarding the appropriate bricks and paving etc. I trusted them and their judgement and it paid off.
At the end of the job Lee’s father supplied two beautiful Acers and box spirals, which really completed the garden and still kept me within my budget. I wanted to do the planting and since they have left it has been a joy to work in the garden again and to enjoy the suntrap, which was previously blocked by the existing shed.
I have no hesitation in recommending L & M. They are truly professional, honest, trust worthy and above all understand plants and what a garden should be. They kept to our schedule and completed on time, on budget and in full. My needs were met completely and it was an absolute joy to deal with L & M.
Thank you Lee, Dad and the team.

Iam pleased to place on record my satisfaction with the excellent work carried out recently by L & M Landscapes.
The challenge involved a range of services including landscaping, brickwork and the laying of an extensive stone patio area. From the first exploratory visit to task finalization the work was carried out in a timely and exemplary manner to the highest standard of quality and accuracy. Changes to the design specification during the work were always addressed and resolved in a timely and cheerful manner.
It was a pleasure doing business with Lee and his team. I have no hesitation in recommending the L & M team for any future work of this nature.

In January this year we finally decided to have our garden landscaped, the garden itself is not a large garden plot and it was split onto two levels with a drop of about three foot with steps leading up to a very shoddy lawn what we really wanted was a totally flat courtyard type garden with a curving wall border on the left and right of the garden leading into a water feature in the centre.
Not knowing any landscapers at all but understanding that a immense amount of ground work was needed i scanned the yellow pages looking for someone local who had a web site set up and running with examples of their work.
Lucky for me L & M landscapers had a web site and advertised the very work i needed doing.
After a phone call Lee called in the evening with his portfolio of other gardens, asked what we wanted and then arranged to call back at the weekend to get a good idea of the work entailed .
We gave Lee a general idea of the work and the effect we wanted but gave a free hand in the actual design and layout of the garden. Lee came back with a design and samples of brick and cobbles plus ideas for the water design he also gave a guaranteed quote for the work, which he never went over and he never haggled over hidden extras which cropped up as the build developed.
To say we are happy with L & M is an understatement they transformed a very grotty garden into a place of beauty and refuge, we decided to add lights to our garden and lee supplied an excellent electrician and evan suggested the web site to order good quality garden lights from.
All in all iam extremely pleased with both lees can do attitude and his excellent build quality, together with his father who is his working partner with a wealth of landscaping knowledge i cannot recommend this partnership highly enough.
Many Thanks
