D-S Building & Landscaping

We employed Mike Poole's company, D-S Building and Landscaping to install stone edging to garden flower borders and repair brick gate and fence pillars. They had to return to redo the stone edging, as it was not bedded into the concrete properly, so wobbled. Having taken out some soil to lay the border stones, they infilled the gap with rubble. Picture attached. The wrought iron driveway gates were not refitted properly, and it took several return visits, and repair work by the local blacksmith, to complete the job!For the first visit, they gave just hours notice, despite knowing we had to move many plants for the edging to be installed. For the pillars they turned up a day early! We had to completely alter our plans for that day. It was lucky we had not already gone out, as they needed access to water!!Having taken several weeks to complete a job that should have been finished within one, Mike then pestered us for immediate payment. The first email arrived at 06.03 on the morning the blacksmith arrived to fit the gates - at 10.00am. The following week we received another 5 emails!NB. It is interesting to note that at the time of writing the only other review is for five stars from one Mike Poole, i.e. the name of the owner of the company!

Mike and the team laid a Resin patio for us this week. Polite, tidy, respectful of our property. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Mike and his team laid a porcelain patio for us. They were very polite and kept everything tidy. They gave us a firm price up front which didn’t change although there were a couple of extra bits. Very good after sales care too
