We thought we would change things up and post something a little different tonight.

As of recent times, our work has predominantly been based around landscape construction and we thought to let our followers know that our experience doesn't end there.

Michael who is the man on the ground, has been in the industry for 20years with an even split of construction and maintenance works within civil, commercial and residential settings.

As well as being able to complete general lawn and garden maintenance, we also look further and help to identify any pests and diseases, nutrition and watering issues and assist in treating them in gardens and turf accordingly.

Along with the above, we also complete:
Retaining walls
Drainage works
Earthworks
Paving
Concreting
Garden bed install
Turf install
Decking
Pressure washing and more...

If you or someone you know needs a bit of a hand in the garden or are looking into revamping an area, please feel free to get in touch, we would be more than happy to help 🤠

In November last year, we were asked to assess this turf in Fingal.

With having spent money on re-seeding and other techniques to no avail with another contractor, we got stuck into things.

With a helping hand from our friends at Living Turf, we were able to assess the soil profile and provide works to fit within the budget provided.

In 2.5months, we have turned this turf from struggling to survive to thick and vibrant and full of colour without completing renovation works such as coring, scarifying or top dressing, which will he completed just before Spring next season.
