Fencing
Durable fencing installations enhancing security, privacy, and property aesthetics. We offer wooden, vinyl, and composite fencing options with expert fitting services.

The process includes sub-base preparation, precise laying techniques, and jointing solutions to prevent weed growth.

At the start of the process it took a while to receive the quote from the initial email. That in itself should have raised concerns but I persisted and eventually I received the quote. Next came fixing a starting date and once again it took a while and finally a date was agreed. On the evening before starting date a small digger appeared on our garden while we were out, a positive sign so I thought. Starting day came and went, the following day I sent an email asking what happened. John appeared then left to go for the grass, this was dropped off and that was the end of day 2. Finally on day 3

This Company let us down very badly. After promising to give us a start date we were kept waiting and waiting for weeks on end before we finally managed to get him to answer a call and he just told us we'd have to get someone else. Put our project way back, very unprofessional and very difficult to get hold of. Rarely returns calls or emails.

Great work guys were quick and efficient garden looks great v happy. On the down side John himself is very reluctant to answer follow up calls and just blanks you when you leave messages about coming out to finish jobs that they have started. DO NOT PAY HIM anything even for work they have done ,if they have to come back to do more in other parts of your garden as they DO NOT SHOW and don't answer the phone when rang

Excellent work from very hardworking and skilled landscapers. John also had ideas and recommendations when we didnt know exactly what we wanted ourselves or how it would look. The quality of the materials and finish in the garden was way above our expectations and we look forward to some good weather to enjoy it! So glad we used JML and will highly recommend commend to anyone!!
