Recommendation for fencing/garden


Baggynorris

Recommended Posts

Hi there,


Just wanted to post a recommendation for a fencing job I had done last week. I needed to have my fence raised by 3ft to prepare for a new dog and I did a search on the East Dulwich Forum and asked Lee Harris at D&L Landscapes to quote. He was very prompt, both visiting to give a quote and to do the work. He managed to fit me in very quickly and did the job in an afternoon. He had friendly polite guys working with him and they cleared up after themselves. They did a thorough job with the fence and easily solved an already existing problem with the gate. Nothing was too much trouble, they worked around the neighbours overgrown rose bush and cleared away their debris.


I would use him again if I had any gardening work needed. He is local and relies on word of mouth.

Another recommendation for Lee (D&L Lanscapes). They've just completed a great job for us redoing our front yard (removing existing concrete and then laying black and white tiled path, new concrete base for bike shed, laying chips). The quote was competitive, did the work on time and provided regular updates on progress without being prompted. Comes across as genuinely taking pride in doing a good job. We're delighted with the standard of work and the finished look. Would strongly recommend them. mobile: 07577 311093.

I've waited quite a while to post this here hoping I could give a better review but unfortunately not...


We had our fence replaced by Lee and Dave on 30th January 2013. The fence itself is great and the job was done in one day in some fairly challenging weather.

However, since then we have not had them return to finish the job (despite being told it's a 10 min job) to cut the tops off the fence posts. We would do this ourselves but don't have the right tools (and besides we shouldn't have to).


We have had 4 arranged timeslots now where they have not showed up. Communication has been extremely poor and I have had to chase constantly. The last arranged timeslot I've heard nothing since and really don't want to have to chase myself again. This is not what I'd call good customer service.


So while the (initial) work was good - make sure you withold some payment until it's complete. We paid in full in good faith and really wish we hadn't.


I hate giving bad reviews but they have had over 2 months to sort this out. I know most of their custom is from word of mouth and the EDF - so perhaps the job might miraculously get done sometime soon if they see this.....

I must echo Ginster's comments - approach with caution.

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
