Down To Earth

Great team, perfect job, I couldn’t be happier. Have used Martin and the guys, all of whom are lovely, multiple times and wouldn’t use anyone else. They listen to my requirements, offer helpful suggestions and make sure I’m 100% happy, firstly with the plan and then with the finished job. Worth every penny

What a superb experience we have had with the DTE team! We are delighted with the garden and environment they have created for us. Right from the initial meeting with Martin we had full confidence that he had a clear understanding of what we were looking to achieve within our walled garden. He led the project with military precision, took full ownership and was onsite every day managing every detail as well as grafting unbelievably hard. Importantly we were kept up to date with costs and when decisions had to be made the implications were clearly signposted - no surprises. His understanding of the details right down to the finer points was very impressive. We had a few initial site meetings to agree the concept and agreed that once work was underway we would work iteratively as the project developed. The communication was first class, they were very respectful of our home and property and it was a pleasure to have them onsite. The project evolved each day, the guys were almost surgically neat and tidy and the site was left in a good state at end of each day for the full 3 weeks. The pictures of the project from start to finish are on DTE FB page however what they may not capture is the pride the team take in their work, the precision that went into every task, the teamwork of the guys and the professional manner with which they conduct themselves. DTE are not only excellent professionals, more importantly they are top class people. Can’t recommend DTE enough.

Martin, Mikey and Gary designed and created a new patio and seating area in our rear garden. The design was completed within 3 days and the result has been better than we expected. Our friends and neighbours have also been impressed by the professional finish. We were recommended by our neighbours who had their patio redesigned. The whole process was carried out efficiently and to a very high standard. It was a pleasure having Down to Earth Landscapers design our area .

Perfect Patio Installation. Great trio of professionals. Removed existing wooden decking and incorporated existing path into new patio and created new path. Great advice prior to starting and throughout. This was particularly important regarding the drainage options for our situation. Excellent work ethic and end results. Martin, Mike and Gary worked as a close-knit team, taking their time, without wasting any so as to pay close attention to detail. They built up a solidly compacted base prior to cementing in the sandstone pavers which gives us comfort that it is built to last. Good explanations provided as they went along. They were also open to accommodating an additional request while they had their equipment on site with no additional cost. Tidy workers and site cleared on completion. Prompt response to a post-installation query.

We enlisted the services of Down to Earth Landscapes to re-lay our tired patio. From initial contact with Martin when we asked him to quote for the job, we were highly impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He helped us design the patio and gave us suggestions on how best to use the space we had as well as advising us on the best materials to use. The quotation was received promptly and following acceptance of the price, he was able to provide us with an early start date which was duly adhered to. His team of Gary, Mike and himself arrived on the due date and despite some challenging weather, they got stuck in removing the old patio and preparing the area for the new one. The team were great to have around and worked tirelessly to get the job done. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they tidied up every day to ensure we could still use the garden and space they were working on. When the job was completed, they ensured we were completely satisfied and cleared up the whole area they were working on. I can honestly say that all the guys took immense pride in the work down to every last detail. The finished job looks absolutely fantastic and we are extremely well pleased. We would have no hesitation in recommending this business for similar jobs.

Martin, Mike and Gary were a joy to have working for us. Their advice, suggestions were excellent and the quality of their work could not be beaten. Very professional and you just know, they know, what they are talking about. If they were carrying out the work on their own properties, they could not have made more effort for a perfect job. They replaced our old patio and rebuilt a section of a wall, adding a new step, The final price was exactly as their quote. A pleasure to work with and will be our first choice for any future work. Would highly recommend them.

Down To Earth had been here to take out some trees, install fencing and some hedging almost exactly a year ago and they did such a great job I had no hesitation in inviting them back to carry out a complete upgrade of the largest part of my garden. This involved the complete removal of a turf (and v weedy) lawn, the installation of edging, trellis, creation of a path and planting of a tree and various climbers. The design process was very dynamic and it was a pleasure to be lead through it by the very knowledgeable team. I felt that they offered up many ideas and were also receptive to my input and between us I believe that the final result is going to be a space that my family will enjoy immensely for many years to come. On a practical note the team turned up promptly every day, stayed on budget, tidied up each day, communicated very regularly and drank lots of cups of tea. I have already recommended them to friends.

Complete and expert redesign and reconstruction of small garden patio area, paths and doorsteps. Cannot recommend Down To Earth highly enough. Every aspect of the job from initial planning to finished product was carried out with the utmost professionalism. He listened carefully to what was asked for and was willing to give experienced and excellent advice as required, and it was well worth listening to. The construction phase was most reassuring, as you could see the thorough and solid foundations that were laid. This work is done to last. They were also very enjoyable days as we were kept amused by their happy attitude to their work and each other. We never felt like we were living on a building site as they were meticulous about clearing up at the end of each day. We were kept informed and consulted at all stages of the process. The finished product was an absolute delight – it exceeded all our expectations and getting ‘Down to Earth’ was one of the best decisions we have ever made with regard to any projects around house and garden. The skills and craftsmanship of their work is second to none. Do not hesitate for a moment about choosing ‘Down to Earth’ to do any work designing and landscaping your garden, no matter how big or small. It is money very well spent and what you are quoted at the start is what you will pay – there are no nasty surprises or extra costs.

Great team to have around, from the first discussions and giving a quote to finishing the job. Good advice given, the product of years of experience so listen and learn :) Pricing clear and fair and no haggling or nonsense at the end of the job because you asked for some adjustments. Martin, Mike and Gary are a pleasure to have on site, the quality of work outstanding! Definitely our first choice for any future works.

I have used Down to Earth a number of times and the quality of work has always been exceptional. The guys are fun hard working and very professional. I have had everything from basic fences to high quality stone work undertaken and co up don’t be happier with the work done. Highly recommend the guys if you want a quality job done.
