  All the things that the other reviewers have said are true. Dale is an all round good man, polite, calm, patient, keeps you informed, hard-working, very reasonable pricing, asks for your opinion on details during the job, cleans up afterwards and is a delight to have around. I highly recommend him and am looking forward to needing his help for jobs in the future.

  DMS did an excellent job on our replacement fencing, working very hard on difficult ground, including the removal of old rotten posts, which they have replaced with concrete posts.

  Dale replaced some decking for us which was not a straight forward job. We were very pleased with the result. He consulted with us during the project and was flexible in his approach to ensure we were happy with what he was doing. His workmanship was of a high standard and it was a pleasure to have him working here.

  Dale has recently replaced our old paving slabs with new ones and it’s looks great. We were very impressed with the quality of his work. He is friendly, tidy and made sure our expectations were met. In the past, he has also replaced our side gate, and again did a great job. Highly recommend Dale.

  Dale and Luke transformed the back of our garden with some fairly major landscaping work and we’re very pleased with the result. They are a committed, hard working and good humoured team. They work to high standards but at a fair price and we would have no hesitation in recommending them

  Dale and Luke have done a stunning job building a curved stone retaining wall and wildlife pond. They’re a hardworking pair who came up with great ideas and solved some tricky problems. They managed to source some fabulous stone that I didn’t think I could afford and the end result is better than I could’ve imagined.Knowledgable, good humoured, patient and kind. I would have no hesitation in recommending these craftsmen.

  I received a quotation from DMS Landscaping and Fencing to supply and fit a large number of Grade A railway sleepers into a stepped retaining area in my garden. This was an awkward and tricky job but they had all the gear including their own chainsaw to cut them into shape and then concrete them in. They did a fantastic job and removed all existing materials and excavations. I was shown photos of some recent full garden landscaping schemes they had completed and would not hesitate to have them do something similar for me in the future. I have… [read more]

  Arranged for Dale to start work before the Covid 19 lock down. 12 weeks later he arrived which was no fault of his and did a quick and efficient job with no mess or fuss. I am now the envy of all my neighbours with my new fencing. Give him a call. He wont let you down.

  Dale is an excellent worker. He is very polite and punctual and completes the work on time. He often works in the worst weather conditions. He has done an excellent job with my chain-link fence and also the wooden fence in my daugther`s garden and we are both very pleased with the result. His prices are competitive and he works quickly and tidily. I would highly recommend him for any gardening project.

  For trimming hedge and bushes – it’s such a thrill to have someone who actually knows what he is doing. He is one of the best tradespeople I have ever come across. He’s a lovely man, and he really knows his onions!

  Dale has just built me a new pergola to screen my recycling etc. Thwarted repeatedly by bad weather, he kept me up to date by telephone, and I felt confident I could leave him to get on with things. He was courteous and keen to get everything right. He has done a beautiful job and made good paving he had to break through and other wobbly slabs in the process. I can certainly recommend him.

  Could not recommend DMS Landscaping more. Dale did a fantastic job on our fence, despite our awkward sloped garden. The quality of the work was to a really high standard. Most importantly, he really listened to our needs and offered us some really effective solutions, as prior to this our garden had been very overlooked with little privacy. We now have a really lovely space, that we can enjoy.
