Reply: a totally wrong, you talked about the soakpit which was totally different project and you gave verbally quote about 7000nz dollar. But i refused that you need to do landscaping first and i'll look once i will be back from overseas. Finally you were agreed that around 2500 nz dollar you have to complete the landscaping but you didn't fullfill the agreement and left the half job after receiving full payment.Moreover you have damaged the gate to get through with the digger.

James was friendly, professional and an enjoyable person to deal with. Communicated promptly whenever it was needed and kept me up to date with everything that was happening. Job was completed promptly and efficiently and I have no issues with the outcome. Would definitely work with James again and highly recommend his workmanship to potential customers.

Very very UNPROFESSIONAL, James done our Lwan around 6 weeks ago, and promised to come back after 3 weeks to check again and if there are any patcheshe will fix them, But now after 6 week he never come back, I have called him so many times but he always make excuses and give fake promises that he will come tomorrow ,there are lots of patches I have asked him to come and fix those patches ,but he wasn't listening, and not answering my calls and not reply my text. Highly NOT recommended.

Job was quoted to require 1-2 weeks, but took approximately 2 months (some delays due to weather and others not) and the cost was near triple with no detailed work plan. James did offer and organise other work for a retaining wall (we are happy with) and drainage (which had to be re-done at our expense later). James also arranged at short-notice for an engineer for penetrometer testing, which was appreciated. Time & cost were way off supplied quote, which severely impacted the project.
