Overall, he is an excellent landscaper that we are incredibly lucky to have on our team. He brings energy and enthusiasm onsite as well as strength, humour and skills and is a much valued member of the team. He and his family moved to Somerset in 2020 and he has a beautifully landscaped garden overlooking the levels.
