Arrived late, but I was offered a 10% refund for the inconvenience. I cannot fault the work that was done, a large patio area quite overgrown with weeds cleared and removed completely in 1.5 hours. They also took care to avoid treading mud into the property. Overall, very happy with the skill to do the job
