    Rob Cleese - Image 1 "I would highly recommend The Motherinlawns. During the initial consultation, there was an open conversation regarding the options, with several suggestions given. They arrived early every day, and cleared up every afternoon. They were friendly, and suggested different ways of doing things during the work. The quote was very competitive and the work was of an extremely high standard. We are really pleased with the new fence and paving slabs, and would not hesitate in using The Motherinlawns again."

    Trader reply: "Thanks Rob . Was a pleasure thank you to you and your mother-in-law for all the coffees 👍"

    Alice - Image 1 "We had a really good experience with Robert - we found him approachable, friendly and honest. The price was reasonable compared to the other quotes that we received, and the quality of the work was very good! We asked Robert to dig out the bigger half of our driveway, put down hard core and sand ready for us to put the grids/gravel in ourselves. The work was completed in a few days, with the finishing touches done a few days later. He offered practical advice for our patio (for which, we had a very bad experience with another tradesperson) which we found very helpful. He was honest when he chipped the slab on our front porch, and fixed it for us. We would be keen to have him back to fix our patio and do some more work on the garden. Thoroughly recommend if you’re looking for someone to do some landscaping! (The picture is the finished driveway, after we laid the grids/gravel)"

    "We were so impressed with Robert and Mothers in Lawn. Robert was friendly and approachable and his advice was spot on. Nothing seemed too much trouble and he went over and above on getting the job done. The quality was superb and so was his flexibility and willingness to understand our needs, as well as his patience with our many questions. We’d definitely recommend him to other people and hope to use his services again at some point in the near future ."
