11/10 would recommend Howard’s Way! They completely overhauled and transformed our back garden last year and it was quite easy to decide we wanted them back to transform our front garden too💪Tom and his men are friendly, reliable and brilliant at communicating – they have accommodated everything we have asked for and they even installed a composite door into the side of our garage!

Fantastic service and quality work carried out by the team at Howard’s Way. Tom was very knowledgeable and listened to our thoughts and ideas to come up with a design within our budget. All of the team were friendly and hardworking. We couldn’t be happier with the finished result and would highly recommend using Howard’s Way.

Tom, Steve and the lads stepped in when we had been left with our garden project at a standstill. Understanding that we need a safe and useable space in the interim while we do some other work on our house was not only understood but delivered on and then some. We not only have a beautiful garden but also confidence in a company to help us with what we have planned in the future.

From first deciding what we wanted Tom was fantastic! very polite, down to earth and knowledgeable. Throughout the job both Tom and Chad were both very friendly, tidy and professional. Not a single detailed was missed nor a single corner cut! Would highly recommend! Definitely our first choice for any future projects. We’re absolutely over the moon. Cannot praise them enough! Thank you!
