Hi,

Another new new year is here, and I am really looking forward to it.


If your lawn needs a cut or there are much unwanted weeds in your garden, I'm just the guy you need!

I have been doing this job for over 7 years and have numerous regular clients.

As one would expect, some may move from their place, and for that reason I am again advertising as I now have some spare spaces in my diary.

If you need some necessary work to be done, call me on 478 9078 or 027 723 0975

If I am not here, please leave your name and number and I will respond as soon as I can.

Cheers
