About the Project
The project involved reinstating the allotments on the Town Moor site by tackling long-standing ground conditions, improving surface water drainage and landscaping to improve its appearance. Phase 6 of the project was completed in October 2019 which involved the spreading of topsoil and seeding. The completed landscaping is shown in updated images from July and August 2020.

Client Testimonial
"Shaun's professionalism and knowledge of the business is vast and his attitude to both his work and customer is 2nd to none, attention to detail is paramount, and the end product is what you would want and expect, "and probably more". I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for and this man never falls short.
