Would anyone that is considering re-landscaping please contact me to discuss the problems I encountered. The main one being I paid for the removal of a pond but it got covered over with earth and the original overflow removed, consequently it floods now and has damaged steps and patio. Also a drain got covered over so it could not be rodded immediately. There are other niggles too. Addingtons will have an answer for this but there are always two sides.

We are extremely pleased with our recent driveway and garden makeover. From design to completion everything was carried out by a highly competent team. Attention to detail and the quality of work was done to the highest standards. So thank you to Danny, Jamie, Luca and Jack for your hard work it was all worthwhile. Would we use Addingtons again absolutely, would highly recommend.

Just a quick thank you for the excellent standard of work carried out on the building of our pergola. The initial site discussion, quotation and workmanship were all carried out to a high standard of quality and customer service. Peter Beddoes We would like to say how much we love our garden, from design to completion the process was smooth and the finished product exceeded our expectations. David had some great ideas and the lads Kez, Damien and Harry came and made it happen.
They all worked extremely hard and were very polite and happy to help with any questions or suggestions, nothing was too much trouble for them, whenever we turned up they were working. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Addingtons to our family and friends. Thank you for everything

Addingtons transformed my garden for me from an ordinary back garden into a decked haven of peace and tranquillity. Im so glad I used addingtons as the service they provided was second to none. They not only transformed my ideas into reality leaving me with a beautiful finished garden. I would not hesitate in recommending addingtons as any minor problems I had were immediately rectified I was very pleased with the after service they provided and will use them again.

Addingtons spelled out a clear vision for us of how our garden could be transformed both creating lots of new features whilst preserving ones we wanted to keep. They turned the vision into reality with a professional hard working team and created a garden beyond our initial expectations.

My wife and I would like to say how pleased we are with the work done last August to our back garden. The pathways are really well laid and look as good as the day they were put down. The faux grass is also very easy on the eye. it is almost to perfect it looks so real. There is just one small problem with the grass . It has a 6inch wide shadow running though the grass .I was hoping that it would fade over time . However I can live with it ....If Mr Mr Addington is in the area he is most welcome to see. The two men Thomas and Callum both did a great job.

Good team of guys doing the work, very polite and conscientious. As for the rest, the design process was ad hoc and decisions were rushed. After care was shocking to say the least with emails and phone calls ignored or long delays of weeks before they were returned. Issues only finally resolved 7 months after work was completed! Discount absolutely refused and would not discuss or apologise for issues. Language used was disrespectful and belittling. I would recommend the team of landscapers that did the work if they set up by themselves, otherwise I would avoid like the plague.

I would not recommend this trader under ANY circumstances. The 10 year warranty has turned out no to be worth the paper it was written on. I paid tens of thousands of pounds for his extremely poor work. I have been trying for 5 years for the shoddy work to be rectified by him. He doesn't answer phone calls and he simply ignored my recorded delivery letter some 11 months ago. In brief the problems that were brought to his attention approx 1 year after completion include the following:
1.
The majority of the patio slabs were loose due to poor fixing & crumbling grouting.
2. New garden wall developed significant cracks suggestive of poor foundation and workmanship.
3. Bespoke side gate misaligned and had poor quality fittings.
4. Garden shed: distorted timber preventing doors closing properly.
