Groundworks begins with correct excavation and preparation

Groundworks starts below the finished surface, where correct excavation, compaction and depth determine the stability of the completed structure. Bruce has run these sites for over 15 years and works alongside Steve, Jacob and Max. The team levels and compacts each base to the depth required by the planned build, providing stable support for slabs and retaining walls.

For a building base, retaining wall or drainage run, we assess the site before quoting. We then price the work in full and fix that figure before ground is broken.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hired Penny Tree Surgery and Landscaping for a big garden project and couldn't be happier. They did a brilliant job with our new brick retaining wall and stairs, patio repointing, new fencing, and tree surgery on our gum tree.

The work is excellent, the finish is fantastic, and everything was completed exactly as quoted. They are a great bunch of guys -  A big thanks to Bruce, Jacob, and Darren and Jack (fantastic brickies!).

If you want a friendly, professional, reliable, and highly skilled team for your landscaping or tree surgery needs, look no further. We highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future! Many thanks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bruce and his team have just completed the installion of a set of steps and a handrail at the front of our property. They have done an excellent job and we would not hesitate to use them again. The team are hard-working and they coped well with difficult (and changeable) weather conditions as the job progressed. They were always very polite, easy to deal with and they kept the site tidy. A pleasure to have them working on our property. Definitely recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a follow up review to the one submitted perviously following tree and shrub management undertaken in January in our recently acquired garden. At the time, we were very pleased with the whole team, but Bruce was amazing; taking the time to talk the work through, make suggestions and explain the tasks. The trees and shrubs are now in leaf and/or blossom (hence review 2) so we can really see how successful the work has been. Very happy with the team, very pleased with the work and we would say the service has been outstanding. We would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bruce and the Team did some great work in our new garden. We moved into our new home in the Bembridge area 3 months ago and the garden need some work: 1) large trees needing cutting back / pollarding; 2) numerous small / medium trees and shrubs clearing and grinding out; 3) approx a dozen medium and large tree stumps grinding out; 4) new fencing and clearance at the side / front garden; 5) a brand new 13 metre long raised bed with sleepers. The work was completed over 3.5 days. We are very happy with the outcome and quality of the work and look forward to enjoying the garden in spring / summer. Bruce and the team were very polite and discussed options, the work and quoted costs clearly in advance. They also gave the garden a good old tidy after the work too so we had no mess at all to deal with afterwards. Would certainly recommend them.
