  I thought relaying the patio at my mother’s bungalow would be a difficult job, but Terry and Mike have done a cracking job and it now looks as good as new.

  Terry and his team have recently levelled out our garden which was stepped before and have done an amazing job. They extended our patio, laid new turf and put in new wooden steps to gain access to the back of our shed. Terry listened to what we were trying to achieve and helped advise us on the best way to go about doing it which was very helpful. Terry and the team are reliable and trust worthy, tidy and offered a competitive price for completing the work. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them or having them back to complete further… [read more]

  I’m unable to review their standard of work, but the overall ‘customer service’ is very poor. I asked for a breakdown of the quote they provided as it was higher than anticipated. They didn’t have the decency to respond. I emailed a second time – again no response.

  Terry responded to my initial enquiry promptly, and provided a competitive quote for fencing my garden and relaying half my patio. He is friendly and cheerful, has a good sense of humour, and was happy to offer useful advice on my projects. He and his team of family members arrived when they said they would, they worked hard to get the jobs completed, and they did a very good job. Everything was tidied up and all waste was removed, leaving a happy customer to admire their work. I would happily recommend… [read more]

  Terry and his team, and I have already received his quote for the next project.

  Absolutely delighted with Terry and his work. Our new patio is stunning and has been finished to a very high standard. It has transformed our little garden. Terry and sons are lovely to know – very friendly and reliable, lovely to chat to. We’ve already approached him about building our extension, which says it all. Five star service!

  I had a quote from Terry last year following a recommendation from my neighbour, I moved in to a property which was only 5 years old. The lawn was awful, poor soil and bumpy. Terry and the team came at the end of March to remove the old turf, add new toil soil and lay some quality new turf. Also added a couple of 3m raised beds along the fence line.The team worked hard to level the ground as much as possible and lay the new turf. It’s been so dry I have been watering like… [read more]

  mad and 4 weeks on it looks great, lovely rich green lawn. I now love sitting in the garden just looking at the lawn. Will hopefully be having the front lawn done soon.

  They came, they worked, they left !If it wasn’t for the vast improvement to my drive, the front lawn and the new patio you would not know that they had here. It’s been a pleasure meeting guys with such a high work ethic.Highly recommended.

  Just had a 21 metre long wooden fence built by Terry and his son. Very pleased with the result. They arrived on time and worked hard continuously, professional, cheerful, and polite all the time they were here. They built the fence exactly to our requirements without damage to any plants or shrubs. Took away all debris from the old fence and left the place near and tidy. Highly recommend them, would definitely use them again.Brian and Jean in Budleigh

  In December Terry and his son built a wall in our garden and put in a soldier course of brick around a flower bed. This is the third time they have done work for us, which speaks for itself. As always, they worked, quickly, professionally and with their usual good humour. Reasonably priced and reliable I even recommended them to my son who has now used their services both inside and outside his house.

  Terry did an excellent job replacing and extending our patio, creating a path along the side of the house with slabs and stones, building a raised bed with sleepers, and turfing our mess of a garden. He was very reliable, quick to respond to any communication, and great to have around. I would happily recommend him!

  I would happily recommend TLM Gardening Services and was very impressed by their workmanship.. They delivered an excellent quality of work for me, at what I consider a fair price, given the time and work involved. They were preparing the ground for new slabs to be laid as well as repairing existing areas of slabs and doing some repointing of brickwork.. Terry and his son worked cheerfully even in the rain! They tidied up before leaving each day, responded to the variations I requested, were respectful, kept me fully in touch with progress and the price they charged was as… [read more]

  predicted. There is often a slight apprehension when using a new contractor, especially when like me , its a women organising it, but with Terry this was not an issue. – a thoroughly good job at a fair price and within a sensible time scale. I shall be using Terry again as I have another job that needs doing and I will definitely recommend him to others.

  Terry was recommended to me when I decided to have a patio built. As I am new to the area it was pretty daunting but I could not be happier. The patio looks super and has transformed my garden. Terry works hard, knows what he is doing and is a very pleasant man. If you are looking for someone to build your patio I would recccomend you give him a call.

  Terry and his son have just finished landscaping my garden and have done an excellent job. The paving and brickwork has been finished to a high standard and I am very pleased with the price, service and how well they tidied up after themselves. Despite the fact that I requested changes during the work, Terry happily incorporated these with no problems. I have happily Reccomended him to friends and family.

  Terry and Luke came to lay a largish and awkward shaped patio plus create a raised bed for a kitchen garden. He also cemented in a large post for a washing line too. He was pleasant and reliable and very tidy. The end result was better than I expected too. Very courteous and good at advising the best way forward and reasonably priced but most of all reliable and hard working. Highly recommended and I am very pleased with the end result.

  Very very good, very reliable. Comes when he says he will, cracks on with the work and works like a Trojan. I bought a new house and the surveyor said I had to knock down a wall – Terry’s quote was exceptional. He’s taken down the wall, and saved all the bricks – which he’s used to make raised beds in the garden.
