D&C construction

At the start when I asked to quote the job I was really happy with the idea of what and how it will be done but when I have paid the deposit and work began then the issues started. I do not recommend this company, I had a query as had surface water on the „top soil” and wondered if I should get drainage done to avoid disappointment have been told if I will lay turf, they have advised that the soil will take off water and that the garden has a slope so the water will ran off and that the drainage will be waste of money. I have trusted them and never done the drainage few weeks later when it was raining I was sinking in the grass due to surface water. I had my garden done few weeks ago and I wish I did not hire them, it was meant to be pretty simple job, put new fence up between the plots, rake the soil level it out get more top soil and lay turf and sleepers around the patio. The communication was really diffficult as I had to confirm all the time what I wanted to be done and aswell as had to check all the time to make sure it has been done correctly. They would come and do the job for 2 hours each day and disappear and dont come back. I was promised that the gaps between the fence would have 1.5cm so when checked it was over 2cm and all of the gaps have different measurment The slats have missing nails and some of the slats are only held by two nails missing the middle one. There should of been 6 nails per slat but some of them have only 2 ! Some of them are damaged as the nail gun was not working so they have been fireing the nail gun on the slat so it has so many holes. Had to confirm that the fence would be trimmed to be more level this has been done, after this had to ask them to trim the posts aswell as they were sticking out. So common sense but had to tell them to do it. When it comes to leveling out the garden had to repeat myself several times to make sure it will be leveled and said that if they need to get more top soil to level it more out I will happily pay extra to get more top soil and guess what? Never happened. On the invoice it said that 8 tonnes of top soil will be spread across the garden and they have only brought 6 full weel barrows so how this was meant to be 8 tonnes? When I said I’m not happy with the level have told me that they dont have time to level it more out as they have bought the turf and cannot wait any longer I have also paid extra for the turf was meant to get „medium” quality turf which will be better than the cheap turf after few weeks it looks like the cheapest one with weeds sticing out and fungii… so it has been laid when I was at work and they have finished around 8pm and when asked if they have watered the turf have been told that they did not have time… you have to water the turf straight away to avoid shrinkage. The turf when laid had gaps and some of it was dead already. The sleepers around the patio were meant to be concreted in. When had to remove the sleeper due to loose slabs that the company has damaged, the sleeper was just sitting on the soil NO CONCRETE. At the side where fence has been done I have asked if the soil will not fall to my neighbour due to the level/height difference have been told that they will put a slat with a membrane so it will not rot and the soil will not fall through the fence gaps and guess what ? Nothing has been put between the grass and the fence so have to do it myself as the grass is not growing beside the fence and soil is going through and under the fence. At the start I have told them to take the digger at the back of the garden just side of the fence had to be taken down but when went outside I have seen the digger on my patio… and the slab became loose and was moving due to removed concrete and hardcore underneath the slab when inserting the sleeper… have been told that they would fix it… after they have finished with the digger they drove on the slabs where my shed meant to be and … they have damaged the other 2 slabs aswell so 3 in total… they were parking their truck on my driveway and there was an oil leak… they have said that they will fix it. Removed the bricks and turned them over x4 and all of them are now scratched and uneven as they haven’t done it properly. I have refused for them to fix my slabs as I was not happy of what they have done in general in my garden so did not want them make my patio even worse… AVOID !!!!

Working with D&C Construction on our garden landscaping job has been an absolute joy from the first time we spoke when they came out to look and quote on the job I liked them from the off. Turned up on start day as promised and got to work and boy they can graft. David is totally approaching with any query I had about things and even responded to messages on the weekend nothing is to much trouble. End result is a first class job and a back garden we can use now instead of just having a slope to look at. Highly recommended and wi be the first port of call for any future projects keep up the good work 👏

David and his team run a highly efficient, professional service from start to finish. Excellent honest and trustworthy communication throughout by being readily accessible over the phone or in person. They quickly gave us a quote for our driveway and path development and then started the job within a few weeks! Finished in one week and we couldn't be happier. A quality service with attention to detail, professional advice and they clearly cared about doing a good job. Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future! It's safe to say that the excellent presentation and standard of our new driveway and path has improved the standards on the street and I know our neighbours are also very keen to make use of their services. Top notch.
