    Has anyone in dublin ever had any work done by a company called gardenstransformed.ie?
    We are getting our garden completely redone and we got a quote by this company.
    He seemed to know what he was talking about but he said they'd have it done in 2 days and we thought that seemed very quick.
    And we can't find any reviews of the company anywhere?
    Any help would be great thanks.

    Before any work is agreed draw up a detailed specification of all the work to be done & the standard that it has to be completed to. Get companies to price for that specification & then sign a copy as part of the agreement. Two days is very little time. What work is being done ?

    I'm at the quote stage with them. They seem good and the service is responsive and friendly. They do seem a little reluctant to engage in some of the heavier demolition work we need done, whereas other companies haven't considered it a problem. However we haven't had the best design guidance from other companies as we did from gardenstransformed.

    They have 8 lads on-site apparently so I don't know if that reassures you in relation to 2 days.

    Be sure to check their insurance.

    We are getting a fence at de back and old stones, paving and brickwork pulled out and redone. We asked for detailed quote and he gave us a not very detailed quote and never said a word about the vat. We're getting a couple more quotes so we will see if they come back any better.
