Owner Testimonial

What a transformation!

Ever since we moved in four years ago we were unhappy with the garden, but like a lot of things it went on the back burner.

We had been searching for someone who would be able to undertake all aspects of the work – in particular maintaining the wildlife of the existing pond. Bob’s knowledge and his professional and practical approach impressed us immediately and we knew he was the man for the job! What was once an unusable and impractical space is now a joy to behold where we can sit out and enjoy both the view of the garden and also the view of the surrounding countryside from our elevated decking.

The difference with RJW Creations is that care is taken for what is in the garden as well as what it looks like. At the start of the project we were quite adamant that we wanted to move but still keep the pond and the majority of the life that was in it. This has been achieved, with the transfer of water and life-stock being carried out with knowledge and sensitivity. In addition we now have an environment that will attract other visitors to the garden such as hedgehogs and bird-life – not to mention lots of friends to help us enjoy our new outdoor space with a glass or two of wine!

We would happily recommend RJW to anyone wanting to give their garden a face-lift. Bob has a professional, friendly manner and is amenable to making changes that arise during the creation – whilst keeping a grip on practicalities – to ensure that the customer is happy with the end result.

Thank you BOB and team for a job well done.
