We had a long and old flagstone garden path that needed replacement. Jason came and provided an estimate. His professional approach was obvious. We are absolutely delighted with the work. Beautifully laid path with no damage to the surrounding lawn, the work was done in a week. The team cleared up the site with the skip removed the day after completion. Highly recommended.

Jason and his team absolutely nailed it! From the initial meeting, Jason knew exactly what we wanted and carried out the works efficiently and professionally. Daphne was great with the communication too. Exactly what you would expect from a professional company. I would highly recommend Jason and his team for any landscaping work!

Obtained 3 quotes — R & J Landscapes were not the cheapest but they were the most thorough and professional. Work involved removing front steps and replacing with large area of porcelain paving, new steps and ramp for wheelchair access. Done on time, site kept clean, all rubbish removed. Delighted to highly recommend.

Could not be happier — an absolute delight to work with everyone at R & J Landscapes. Their work was first class, they even took away my old fence which was not part of the original quote! Would definitely use them again.

Jason and his team were simply outstanding. Highly skilled professionals, reliable, trustworthy and willing to flex the plan as needed. Jason promised our team would stay with us until the work was finished and Pete / Stuart did just that. Very fair on finances and communicated throughout on extras incurred.
