S j gardening services.
all garden work undertaken small or large. I also do fencing and cover the north east thanks Steve
very quick response and efficient working. Nice and friendly man.
The review rating is very poor due to the following. On inspection of the job I was quoted £400 which i accepted. However to be fair to Steve it did turn out to be a harder job than expected. After discussion price went up to £500. Steve's 2 sons turned up on job to help and interfere and between them decided that job could not be done, approximately half way through. They wanted me to pay and get someone else to finish the job. After I refused the sons used some foul language which I found quite intimidating. Steve did berate them. After having words the sons and Steve decided to dump all the debris onto the drive as they do not work for nothing. Conversation continued and Steve said he would stay and finish the jbo at a cost of £800. By this time I felt I was left with no option and paid up. The property and garden were left in a complete and utter mess which myself and my son agreed to clean up as by this time I just wanted them all gone. I now regret succumbing to the sons intimidating conversation and threat to dump all the debris onto the drive and paying the £800. I have accute heart failure and COPD and this resulted in me being ill for 2 days. After calming down and feeling better I am now regretting paying £800, twice what I was quoted and am seriously thinking of taking further action for recompense. Being a pensioner this has really left me short for the coming weeks. After all that I will confirm that Steve was a nice individual and pleasant (when things were going smoothly) however at the end of the day I do not think it was acceptable to quote for a job, start it then end up doubling the price. If Steve had of quoted me £800 in the first conversation I would have thanked him for the estimate and refused.
Job well done. Cut lawn now lovely & neat.
I am happy with sj gardening service, they came on time, lawn was overgrown but they managed it verywell, edged it neatly and left no mess
Quick job done and according to my wish.
They did an excellent job at tidying my garden
Steve came to assess the job. Looked at access and what needs doing. He was able to do job straight away and gave fair price as i had few other quotes to compare. He was nice and friendly but did not stand talking, just got on wirh the job. Job was done in no time and rubbish taken away. Thank you :)
