“Dylan has been the best”

★★★★★
Dylan transplanted and planted 40+ trees and shrubs for us on a steep former sheep paddock, and I'd happily recommend him. Good communications, reliable, thorough, and cleaned up so well you'd not know he had been there.

We have used Dylan twice for landscape projects and were so impressed that we are getting him back to carry out some more work. Nice guy with terrific ideas. Highly recommended.
