"John is an excellent operator. Easy to communicate with, ensures he knows exactly what is required and delivered an outstanding quality job on time."
"John did a sensational job removing my pool and creating a garden. His advice & knowledge made the process seamless. I can't recommend John & Dog Rocks South West enough."
"John was incredibly helpful and skilled in all aspects of the big drive way that John advised on and then did it all in a few very long days. Always polite, cooperative and at a darn very competitive price. Highly recommended."
"We used John from Dog Rocks on our house pad and will be using him in the future. Fair, punctual, proffessional and a nice guy. My neighbour has just used him on a driveway resurface and it looks great!!"
"We asked John for a quote on what we thought was going to be a difficult job in adding a few courses of limestone blocks to our existing wall, his quote was very reasonable and he completed the work in a timely and very professional manner, we would recommend him for any works.."
"John was absolutely amazing. Super nice guy, great communication, did an awesome job and really cared about making sure that you were happy with it."
