About Gates landscape and garden services
Hi I worked for 4 years at a private golf and country club as a qualified green-keeper which entailed all aspects of turf maintenance and golf course construction.

I then moved to work for a borough county council where I worked with a team to maintain a 350 acre park and golf course with formal gardens. This also included planting seasonal bedding and garden design. I found a passion for garden design and set up my own business in 2019. I cover Fencing,Turfing,Laying Patios,Raised Beds,Weeding,Pruning and all garden maintenance and design.I have a waste license so all garden and house hold waste will be removed and disposed of legally.

Neil completed the job to my satisfaction. He had to work around the bad weather but kept in constant touch. I would recommend him for any future work.

Dig out small tree/hedge roots in my drivewayGarden Maintenance
工作是去除小根在我的车道上。When he came for the quote, he said it would take him 1~1.5 days to complete the job at the price of £300. In fact, the job was worked on only for half day. He arrived yesterday and was not happy to start the work because there were minor pieces of bags and sheets on the area. I removed them and he then started the job. After 1 hour he came to me saying he needed to increase the price to £350 because there was a bit of cement on the corner which may damage his machine's blade. I then clear the tiny area with cement and he carried on with this work. Because I was working from home with work to do, I did not monitor what he was doing. When he was ready to finish the job, I went to meet him. I noticed the job was not done as expected and raised questions. He said: where can I put the soil? There was in fact an empty skip next to the area for him to put tree debris. I came back later to check the job and he was ready to go after only half days of work. He asked me to pay him £250 in cash to ensure that I am happy. He got the money and left. Only later afternoon I found it out: he trimmed down the roots and used soil to cover them. This is completely a joke. I texted him the next day about the problem and he said he would need to use a digger to do it. But I removed two tree roots yesterday using manual work. I have to say, dishonest traders with numerous excuses will not easily get a job in the future. AVOID this man if you can.

Gates landscape and garden services's reply:
上述工作将小roots from flower bed. I spoke to bill on our first visit and agreed to use a stump grinder to remove the roots at a cost of 250 pounds and a rotavator to level the area. On the day of the job the area to be worked on was covered in building debris including 6 used wooden pallets as they were having work carried out on the house to which it took 30 mins to remove. There was also an area were waste concrete had been poured onto the flower bed which had to be removed before starting so not to damage the stump grinder blades. At no point was i told i could use the builders skip for waste as i have a licence and always remove my waste from site. I spent 7hrs on site carrying out this job in extreme temperatures and always put the customer first. I carried out the job as described and was paid in full 250 pounds. The customer did not at any point say he was unhappy with the work or it would have been rectified. I take full pride in all of my jobs and communication is key.
