Hardscaping in Derby.

“Will was a great worker. He took up and relaid some paving that we needed to put a new shed on. The work was very physical, but he did a great job. We noticed he was constantly checking to see if the paving was level and if he wasn’t satisfied he relaid it again. The proof is in the pudding - once the shed was placed there, there was no movement at all! Very happy customer. We would highly recommend. Thank you Will”

“Robert redesigned the whole of our garden. He took time to understand what we wanted then provided us with a number of a different options so that we can articulate what best suited our requirements. The plot is not a straightforward plot and required creativity of design. After the design was crystallising he then helped us select the right contractor to deliver the scheme. The works were extensive and we were very pleased with the outcome at the time and continue to be so as time has pased and the garden has matured and evolved. Additionally, Robert is really eay to get on with and does not impose his ideas but, instead, works with you to realise your own. Colleagues of mine have also used Robert's services. The end result looks completely different from our garden so it is clear that Robert does provide all his clients with an unique and bespoke service.”

“Butler Landscapes completed a landscape project (building a terraced area, pathways and driveways, two raised beds as well as a small amount of planting) in our suburban garden in the summer of 2016. We had plans for a garden design drawn up before meeting Sharon and Paul - but these needed modifying in order to keep the project within the budget. Paul was very helpful in suggesting the elements of re-design that would keep the price down to what we could afford, and having giving us a price he stuck to it for the entirety of the work - no hidden extras, no last minute requests for extra money. Compared to past experiences it was an absolute joy! I felt that both Sharon and Paul listened to what we wanted, and didn't try and persuade us to have a design or style that we were not comfortable with, but did suggest modifications that would improve on the the practicalities or look of the design - and we were very happy with these suggestions. The work itself was completed to a very high standard, the men working on the project worked hard and felt trustworthy, which was important to me as I was out at work for much of the time. The work did take longer to complete than initially anticipated, but this was largely due to the weather - which was not under Butler Landscapes' control. Paul ensured that all the loose ends were tied up before he asked for the final payment, coming back to the site a couple of times to ensure that all the last bits and pieces of work were finished. We are delighted with the end result and looking forward to enjoying it properly after the winter.”

“Dominic Stone of Bottle Kiln Design first provided a garden design and install contract at my previous property Old Engine Farm, Ashover Derbyshire in the early 1980's. I moved to Derry House, Matlock in 1997. I again sought Dominic out to provide a complete garden design and install, first in the late 1990's and again a more recently to refresh the original scheme with new paving to rear areas and to pave the original tarmac drive plus to lay significant surface water drainage channels and pipes. The experience I have of Dominic and his company is beyond excellent in terms of design expertise, product knowledge, installation skill, prompt work scheduling and commitment to his customer. His pricing has always been in my view realistic. In terms of his personal integrity, from the considerable experience I have had over a prolonged period of time it is beyond question, one hundred percent reliable.”

“Highly recommend APT. Superb design service that evolves and gave us everything we requested and more. Matt and the team are great.”

“Lynn has been excellent planning and designing our garden. She listened to our requests and came up with a design that suits us perfectly. Lynn is very approachable and friendly, yet professional and replies promptly to emails and messages.”

“We would like to recommend Jonathan at Jonathan-wild@hotmail.co.uk. He has helped us immensley in getting our new garden started, designing a fabulous bespoke green house and more recently, designing a perfect site for a North facing shady area which will look wonderful and we will send a photo once it is all planted up. The head gardener at our local Garden Centre was most impressed with Jonathan's design, in fact he gave us a discount!! Thanks Jonathan, you really understood our gardening needs and came within budget. Dee and Martin”

“A good job completed ahead of time, the men left the area clean and tidy. No complaints on any account, I would employ them again.”

“They resurfaced our courtyard, taking up the old Tarmac and laying a modern, but traditional looking cobble stone. Excellent job, Lads very polite and worked incredible hours! Highly recommended!”

“We presented David Shawley with a rough plan of what we wanted to do with our small (or so we thought) new-build garden, and he immediately impressed us with his practical knowledge and grasp of what we wanted. Pricing is reasonable and quotes are clearly documented. Throughout the project, David and his expert team (also a David) worked enthusiastically to turn our dream into reality. We felt able to make suggestions along the way, which made us feel truly involved in the project, and the result is exactly as we had hoped for. Our overall impression is that these chaps are hard workers, with lots of experience and an eye for the details which is delightful to watch. They always left the site clean and tidy and were pleasant and professional at all times. I would happily recommend them for garden redesign, walling, paving etc.”
