Looking for garden fence fitter

I just wanted to add a recommendation for Oskars.


Oskars and his team did a fantastic job replacing a fence and fitting artificial grass in our garden. Everything had to come through the house and they did a great job reducing the mess as much as possible.


I would definitely recommend him if you need any work doing in your garden!

Kala - he pretended to be a poster called Anja and conned me into using him. The embarrassing thing is the elaborate backstory that I actually fell for. He must have been laughing his arse off at me. I've since seen from other posts on the forum that most of the other recommendations look suspicious.


I initially thought he was great, but things quickly degenerated. He did an appalling job of several of the work items I employed him for, which has cost me a fair bit to rectify. He also repeatedly stood me up with no warning and left an almightly mess behind including food, water bottles and tea cups strewn across my yard. I've been contacted by previous customers too who have had similar experiences.

I've noticed that Luke has managed to get a lot of the negative reviews removed from various sites which I had previously found after I got ripped off. Just in case he manages to remove the sole remaining one left, it looks like someone else had a very similar experience to me:


https://plus.google.com/101797341727130564926/about - all was going so well and after reading such great reviews I hired Luke to makeover my garden for a rental property. Job started off great, then I moved abroad and paid Luke an agreed amount to finish the job. It would take no more than a week to complete. This was 7 weeks ago and Luke has not returned, and left me with a half finished garden. Extremely disappointed. gave him time as he said personal issues were preventing finishing, and weather. After too many weeks of excuses I realised I had been scammed. His last emails to me confirm he has no intention of finishing the job and suggests I finish it myself. What about the money? He won't return it and says because I threatened to contact the police over work paid for and not completed, that he doesn't have to finish it as he was threatened. Yes, with me contacting the police as I am in another country and he has taken my money and ran. I Really liked this guy, trusted him and just because I am far away he chose to rip me off for a significant sum of money. I needed to share this as all these good reviews do not explain why he chose to take my money and not do the work. Very sad indeed.

    • Apart from being yet another eyesore in our lovely park the track is going to be 5 metres wide, that’s wider than my living room! By the time this is installed it will be too late for people to object. This must be rethought, even more of our park is being given over to GALA. The council didn’t factor in HGV access when they planned the flood alleviation works and now they expect park goers to suffer further. Complaints might help, worth a try but needs to be before the consultation ends on Feb 10th
    • It is absolutely real, I walked past the site, complete with car and trashed wall, at about 2pm this afternoon.
    • Oh ok, I'm even more confused now then. Have you seen the discussion on the dangerous driving thread? 
    • Sue - I promise you that was no fake photo, not sure that I'm even capable to that.  I took the picture about 12:15 today.
