Excellent job! My garden had been left for a couple of years unattended, and shrubs and trees had overgrown. It really had become quite messy. Darren responded very promptly in giving me an estimate, and in doing the work. It was really nice and easy doing business with him. I am very happy with the results, and my garden now looks amazing. Darren and his lads were all very efficient and very nice. It was obvious to me that they all truly care in doing a good job and pay attention to detail. I will be keeping DB Services for my garden on a regular basis from now on.Posted on Stephen HolstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
