Yes your pictuure looks great, BUT,


Got to say he DNA'd on the first visit to do a quote and it was only after chasing up that he came came on a Saturday morning to come and look at the job (shed base and shed), apologised, explained how it is a family business. Promised to provide a quote, waited, waited and waited some more as he was soooooooooooooo busy, chased him for his quote and am still waiting. You may have been lucky but it is systematic of trades people who promise the earth and fail to deliver anything. How hard can it be putting pen to paper or typing out and emailing a quote.

FWIW, my experience was... hard to get hold of, had to chase several times to get a quote, took aaaages to agree a date to start the work, which was subsequently put back at least once.


But when they eventually did the job, they did it very well and are obviously hard workers. I'm glad we stuck with them.

Another strong recommendation for Oskars and his hard-working team Jurijs and Casper who removed tricky old fencing and replaced it. Oskar oversaw the job and was available for advice but his team are very knowledgeable. Oskars took a while to forward quotation but the wait and final finish of the work was worth it.

Oskars Fencing & Landscaping

Hi All,


I wanted to share a recommendation for Oskars Fencing and Landscaping if you are looking for any garden works after finding Oskars details, and positive reviews, via the forum myself a few months back. Oskar and his friendly team have just completed a new fence, removed a 4mx4m concrete base, completed extensive levelling works, built a raised bed, patio and laid lawn on our c.40ft garden. Oskar was very patient with a changing brief and worked with us to help achieve a family friendly garden that we are delighted with. Oskar and his team were great to deal with- friendly and open, and the work has been completed to a high standard.


Oskar can be reached on 07545 372 421


Any questions and feel free to PM. Thanks

Oskar and team did a fantastic job replacing the fence on both sides of our garden. They came when they said they would, got on with the job efficiently, negotiated with the neighbours and left everything neat and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Adding a massive thumbs-up for Oskar and his team. They did a brilliant job, digging out a massive thicket of long-established ivy by the roots (some with trunks as thick as trees), removing old concrete posts, other random bits and bogs and the derelict old fence. I'd moved a few plants I cared about but couldn't do anything about my favourite rose bush, but they very carefully avoided it and tied it to the new fence at the end of the day. The new fence looks fantastic and they did the whole job in a day, when other contractors had said they needed two or three. Everything had to come through the house, but they meticulously swept up afterwards, and Oskar took all the waste away in his truck. Oskar was great to deal with throughout – highly recommend!


Get hold of Oskar on 07545 372 421 or at ofalandscaping@gmail.com - there is also a webiste oskarsfencingandlandscaping.com but just give him a call!

Another big nod/recommendation for Oskars Landscaping. He and his team did an immaculate job on our back garden. They worked fast, communicated well, asked questions at the right time, kept the house clean despite moving through it with material and waste, did what we asked, and were happy to make adjustments when it was necessary. I couldn't speak more highly of him and his team to be honest. I wish all home improvements went like this. See previous comments for how to get in touch with him.

Adding to the recommendations on here for Oskars. Sorted our fence that had fallen, and needed replacing, within days, was communicative throughout the quote, booking and work activity, always meeting his promises, was reasonably priced and his team did a super job and left the place spotless despite the rubbish weather. Would definitely use again (though I hope to not have to due to a new sturdy fence!)

    • 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!
