Polite and hardworking, but the job had several issues. Plastic garden edging wasn’t installed to manufacturer specs, so I had to fix it myself. Clay soil removal wasn’t completed as agreed, and some work had visible defects. There were attempts to increase costs for tasks I expected to be included in the original quote, which felt off. Communication was poor, making it hard to plan around delays. Paid full amount to avoid further delays, though not fully satisfied with the result.
