Report
An excellent job by Hampshire Land and Water. Andrew and the team were efficient and always on time. They built a beautiful pond and deck in our garden, finished the job within the estimated time frame and left the garden tidy afterwards. The end result has exceeded our expectations and we would be happy to recommend them.

Awful company. Do not supply them anything as they are unable to clear an invoice for less than 100.

Shocking - removed fish from a large pond as part of planned maintenance and never returns calls or emails to discuss replacement / credit for the 20 average 3lb carp removed
