Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
builder and tiler for front garden
Hi there
I am having trouble searching for previous posts on this...so posting about this again. We are looking to redo our front and back gardens. At the front, we are looking at rebuilding the wall, laying slabs and putting down some victorian black and white tiles. At the back, we need to remove the old slabs, lay down new ones and change fences on one side. Some garden landscape design ideas would be great too. I have been trying to get a quote from Marcos at Belo Horizons for a while, but he has not got back to me yet, so looking at other alternatives.
If anyone has had their gardens done recently and wouldn't mind sharing their builder's details (and pics too if possible), that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Antonella

I'm about to employ this guy to do my front garden. Loads of ideas. Worked within a budget. Sent me loads of amazing photos of his work and did my internal kitchen limestone floor. Phillip.Myers@alexandrapalace.com Really nice guy.

We had similar work done and used Marcos for most of it. All very good but he is often very busy.
Used a specialist (Kieron Harney) for the 'victorian' path tiles (after Marcos had done the path ground works to the correct specification. http://www.victoriantiler.com/?page_id=60 http://www.victoriantiler.com/

Hi Glen, it was two separate jobs:
First was everything excluding the path which took about a month approx £5k including all materials, bricks, Brazilian black slate, cedar wood fencing (not in the photo) etc. etc. Probably had about 1-2 tons of material taken out and similar amount brought in.
Second, more specialist, job was laying the path - £2k including cost of about 1,000 individual tiles. N.B. this does not include the ground works to required specification before the path tiles could be laid. The ground works for the path were included as part of the first job in order to ensure the black slate and path aligned and coordinate the fall of the two areas.
