From start to finish excellent service. Kept informed regarding starting date. As the men had to go through the house sheeting was laid down to keep my carpets clean at all times. Guys who dismantled the old patio were very professional. T who laid the patio was beyond excellent arrived on time. His workmanship was and is brilliant. Cannot recommend this company highly enough. Estimate was given to us was precise and the cost did not alter. Really other than the weather cannot find any faults at all

This is the third time we have used Dave and his team to do excellent work for us. This time it was to build a raised tiled base for an outdoor building/gazebo. Dave suggested some Marshall's Porcelain Paving which looks great and we are really pleased with. As always Dave's team are professional, considerate and hard working. Thanks Paul for your attention to detail and perseverance in dodging the showers when it came to the grouting. We don't think twice about using New Century Landscaping and would gladly recommend them.

We have used New Century Landscaping a number of times over the last few years. Every project they have undertaken for us, whether it is our patio, back garden or front drive, has been undertaken in a totally professional manner. They are definitely the best company that we have used for our projects of the patio, garden and front driveway and I would thoroughly recommend them. Also, they are extremely hardworking, polite and very pleasant. If you need any landscaping works done, I would like no further than this company.

We hired Dave and his team to take out a very large bay tree that had caused a party wall to lean in on to a gas pipe - a delicate job at the best of times. Dave's can-do manner was very helpful in keeping rather demanding neighbours on both sides happy: everyone appreciated the extra mile he went in sourcing old bricks to match the existing bricks, his willingness to put things right, and not least the results and new brick wall - which everyone was happy with. All of the staff which came on site were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant, and were a delight to work with. Undoubtedly Dave's knowledge and expertise turned a tricky job into a success. Highly recommend.

Landscape tricky raised rear garden.

We were recommended Dave at New Century Landscapes by a friend, who had had a large rear garden landscaped with walls and patio etc. which looked great. We have a mature raised slopped rear garden which was very tricky to access with a lot of old plants concreted pathways, greenhouse base etc. which needed clearing, we had two large paved patio areas, stone path and turf laid. As soon as we met Dave he put us at ease and took us through the process of what we required with a lot of informative input. We instructed Dave to carry out the work which was carried out in a professional manor by Dave/Anthony and his lads. The job was done out on time at the price agreed, to a very high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending New Century, we will certainly be using them again on future projects.

Water Feature
Customer Service

Having made the wrong move and purchasing a Water Feature Kit (1.2 metre high Stone Monolith weighing in at over half a ton) on-line with no idea how big and heavy this was going to be. I was left with it sitting on my Patio after trying to get someone to take on the job of moving to the end of my garden (over 100 ft) and installing in a hole which I had semi dug. My dear wife was giving me un-told grief on what I had chosen and I had given up all hope after I had contacted a rake of so called 'Water Feature Installers' and landscapers to have a look and turn down the job. This was until I made contact with Dave (NCL Ltd). I couldn't believe it, when after and quick walk around and a measure up, Dave said no problem and the quote arrive within a couple of days. The quote included and new reservoir as the one sold with the Kit couldn't take the weight, which would have been as real problem. Due to Dave's workload and waiting over 4 months for the new reservoir from Germany, they arrive a couple of weeks ago...it took three visits to complete the Job. Due to the nature of the Job the garden already landscaped, they could use any mini diggers, so all done by using fork lift truck, scaffold boards and six men...wow did they have to use their heads and pure beef to put this Baby away. The Water Feature looks fantastic and the wife is now happy ! My advice is if you have any Landscaping Project you're best bet is to first contact Dave at NCL Ltd for a quality job !

The job was to remove cobble paving in our back garden and to replace it with new under-soil and new turf. The three guys in the team were punctual, professional, pleasant and productive. They were courteous (to us and our neighbours) and were sensitive to keeping the noise down, keeping our house clean, and keeping the work area tidy. The director/owner of the business (David Leete) was fantastic. He was responsive, honest about timing and availability, and was dependable throughout. The job was completed on time and on budget without fuss. I cannot recommend him too highly.

Dave and his team carried out improvements to the front of our driveway, including installing new block paving and edging to match existing, creation of a new border area/fencing/turf and landscaping with the aim to improve the access and layout of our existing entrance. Very pleased with Dave and his team, I found them all hard working throughout the time they were on site. The area was swept up and always left clean and tidy at the end of each day. They were punctual and reliable, and they were able to quickly resolve any problems encountered making good suggestions along the way which all helped make the end result even better than we ever hoped for. Very pleased with the quality of the job and the overall finish and so would recommend to family and friends.

Dave and his friendly team did an excellent job for us, paving the patio at the back and driveway at the front. They also installed a fence at the front, repaired various bits of broken fence and paving in the garden, and planted hedge and borders around the new driveway. The work was done fast but without compromising on quality, and they still paid attention to detail to produce a finished result exceeding our expectations, for a competitive price. The whole team was very accommodating and helpful, with excellent communication at every step of the way. On their own initiative, they even cleared drains that they discovered were blocked and tied up unruly roses for us! We would not hesitate to recommend Dave and his team at New Century Landscaping. Very reliable.

Excellent Firm
This firm has completed a new turf laying job on a large lawn at our house and my wife and I are delighted with the results. I went out for two quotes for the project; one from New Century Landscaping which had been recommended to me and one from a reliable landscaping firm which I had previously used for my garden. New Century came in with the lowest price, so I went with them, although I had not used them before. The ground was rotovated, prepared with fertiliser, raked and levelled with great skill and experience. This firm then provided good quality weed free turf which was laid carefully, with turf shapes cut to size around flower beds and shaped and tamped very professionally. The result was a properly levelled new lawn which looks excellent. The firm showed themselves to be both friendly and hard working; the director, Dave Leete, would telephone in advance to advise and agree when his firm would arrive. They would then come at 8.00 am on the agreed day and commence work. At they end of the day they would clean up and remove all debris and rubbish as a result of the work. I would be prepared to use this firm again and would recommend them to anyone who wants an excellent job done at a fair price.

Just want to say thank you to David and his teams for the fantastic work they did in creating a one level with garden patio and surrounding area. Which was beautifully finished with Marshalls Indian Sandstone. Whole garden has now become more accessible and wheelchair friendly. Other work done at the same time was wheelchair access for the front door, again the final finish on the ramp design was perfect. David was very friendly, easy to talk to and the site throughout the work was left clean and tidy. We would not hesitate to use his services again and we are happy to recommend.

The final project was a fantastic job.

The Marshall Symphony product is very professional, and the textured stone walling, a new product for 2019, looks fantastic. Dave and his team were great to deal with, and very trustworthy. The final soft landscaping, new lawn, parterre hedging and plant selection were the final finishing touches. More than happy to recommend New Century Landscaping Limited.

My son, who lives nearby in Bushey wanted his front garden, which had quite a steep slope, paved so they could park their cars off road. I found New Century in my Which magazine. He had to wait for several months because they were very busy but did a cracking job and worth the wait. Made a path up the side of house and a bit around the back. Offered several suggestions during the work which were very helpful. Turned up on time with a team of blokes, did a full eight hours. It was not an easy straightforward job especially at the side with various manhole covers in a state of disrepair. A lot of broken concrete to dig out and remove. Very impressed. My son found them easy to deal with and approachable. Have parked on it and it looks great. Did a lot of work at a reasonable price. Very pleased.
