I have found the office and on site teams always excellent and friendly. The work is of an extremely high quality and the communication could not be better. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Report
Disappointed. Oak View cancelled three appointments to quote for a large landscaping project, and all cancellations were at very short notice. Seems they are more interested in huge corporate contracts than residential work as the last appointment was cancelled because ' I need to wait in the office for a phone call from Kier'. Expected more from them to be honest.
