We had John and his amazing team construct our 22m long, 1.5m high concrete sleeper retaining wall. The team were highly knowledgeable, skilled, friendly and efficient. Throughout the process we were highly impressed how quickly they were able to deliver the construction of the wall and to such a high standard. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a reliable tradesman.
