Professional, efficient, helpful willing to adjust plans and reasonably priced = Trustworthy.

This is the third time Derek has done work for us. As usual, the work is excellent - very well planned, expertly carried out and reasonably priced. This last job in particular was done over the coldest part of the winter and Derek worked out there alone for two or three weeks, wind and rain (and snow) notwithstanding. How does he keep so cheerful? Outstanding.

3rd job Derek has done for us and all to very high standard.

I'd like to praise Derek for his skills and his tidiness. It wasn't an easy job, and I am a retired builder, so I should know what I'm talking about!

I have always found Derek very thorough, helpful and pleasant. I have used him for several years now.

I explained to Derek what I wanted. He made suggestions and I am glad that I followed his expert advice. I am delighted with the results (new deck and steps, large paving stones re-laid to look more attractive). Nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend Derek Hall.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Derek Hall for transforming our builder’s yard into a little snippet of Heaven!

Delighted with the work carried out and the finished result. Most certainly a 'local expert'. Would have no hesitation in recommending D & J Services.

Derek and his team were polite, punctual and professional at all times. Derek provided an excellent service from start to finish.

Derek and James were recommended to us by our friends and they surpassed our expectations. They did an excellent job in extending one patio plus building a new one from scratch. They came when they said they would, discussed any ideas we had and gave excellent suggestions. The garden was left neat and tidy each evening and the finished result was perfect. We had to wait some time for them to fit us in, but it was so worth it. Thank you to them both.

Completely re-landscaped front garden and re-made drive last year.
Derek has just completed terracing a slope, made steps and constructed a wall and patio at the rear of our house.

Fair prices, mindful of unnecessary costs, reliable and starts when agreed. Always polite,very tidy and pays attention to security.

Derek will show a portfolio of his work and provide a detailed drawing of the proposed scheme, which he is prepared to alter after discussion.

He has knowledge of materials and methods and will make honest suggestions about the proposed scheme. Would use again and recommend.

Recently installed some raised beds and relaid slab path. Excellent work & Derek happy to offer advice & suggestions. Will use again if need be.

We have used D& J Services on four garden related projects during 2010. Derek Hall and his team have been a pleasure to employ. Their design and execution work is first rate as is the quality of the end product. But more than this, they listen to you and help you arrive at the right solution. They also keep you well informed as progress is made and seek customer input to those necessary small changes in a timely manner.

Derek, Paul, James and Guy have transformed our front garden and drive - we didn't realise just how bad the 'before' was till we experienced the 'after'! Their work is of the highest standard - thoroughly prepared and with every attention to detail yet Derek keeps the cost as reasonable as possible. We have a Grade 11 listed cottage and Derek has ensured that the finished result is sympathetically in keeping with the character of the property. We are thrilled with D+J Services and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you!

For decking: Thorough, acceptable quotation, started when he said he would, efficient, excellent work, within budget and would recommend him to anyone.

Reliable on all aspects of work, polite and helpful in advice and performance, kept to budget unless extras required, mindful of neighbours, tidy, good time keeping and a pleasure to have him working on our courtyard.

D+J Services were honestly excellent! I’m delighted with everything they’ve done. I have a sloped garden which had been terraced (badly) with wood. D+J re-landscaped the front garden using retaining walls, and terraced my sloping back garden using wood. They got rid of all the buried rocks and rotting wood, end even replanted my plants for me. I had to wait a long time for Derek, but it was worth it!

Very efficient, courteous and friendly. Effective too: a super job and the site left clean and tidy. Excellent!

Derek has transformed our back garden from a waste land to a beautiful and relaxing place to sit and dream.

It is an absolute pleasure to be out in the garden, especially when we remember how awful it was before it had the 'Derek' effect.

His workmanship is of the highest standard. He is meticulous and always leaves the garden neat and tidy. He listens to our garden design ideas and then contributes with a much better solution.

He is our first and last choice, why try and find an alternative when you have Derek!!

I have now used D+J Services on more than one occasion to change and improve my garden. They are adaptable, reliable, honest, can listen and discuss issues and will go 'the extra mile' to achieve satisfaction. You get an excellent job at a reasonable price. They are now my preferred garden designers and first line of call.
