I would also like to recommend Steve. He recently painted our bedroom and did a great job for a reasonable price. He was able to do the date I wanted, was on time and was very tidy and reliable. We will definitely be using Steve again for future decorating jobs.

Hi, I would also like to recommend Steve (d.g.services) for garden work. He painted our fence, cleared the garden and Ivy at the front of the house. He worked with a colleague Kate and they completed the work within the day and their quote was very reasonable. I will definitely be using them again in the near future.

Have a good weekend(tu)

Yet another recommendation for Steve (DGS) from me - he re-turfed our lawn and removed shrubbery etc and generally tidied up the garden - inside the house he and his colleague did a fine job painting, plastering walls and ceilings, filling cracks and touching up. Inside and out he did a good job for a reasonable price.

Steve has just completed an excellent job in our garden - laying gravel and weed protection in a large area that was thick with weeds as high as the windows! He cleared the area, lay the stones and left the garden immaculate.


Very reasonably priced too - I would definitely recommend Steve and the DGS team.

I had Steve and Kate over again yesterday. He laid some vinyl tiles on our kitchen floor and did a few other bits and pieces. I am very pleased with the job he did on the floor; very neatly laid and thoughtfully done. They also assembled an ikea bookcase and fixed it to the wall super-quickly too.

I also had the pleasure of Steve working in my garden today. He worked solidly for 5 hours, mowing, clearing those ubiquitous white wild flowers, pulling out and chopping up a tree which had substantial mould on it, and planting out some things I had bought in both front and back gardens. He was a delight, as he worked consistently, and conscientously, always asked questions when not sure, and did everything possible that he could have done in one day. I look forward to having him as my ongoing garden maintenance man.

I wanted to add another recommendation for Steve and DG Services. He returfed and tidied up our garden on very short notice (calling that evening to assess the job for the next day) and worked really hard to source suppliers and materials. He and his coworker were a pleasure to have around and put in a really hard day's graft and left the garden tidy. We are loving using our "new" garden and so glad we got it all done.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
