Customer Feedback
Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the paving. Thought Kieran and Paddy were terrific, they have made a super job and paid attention to detail. Also left the place really tidy.

We used Kim and her team for our new build a couple of years ago, when we wanted to further develop our back garden we knew the only person for the job was Kim. Came back from work today and loved the transformation!! Thanks again.

Have used MCL since the founder began the business approx. 40 years ago. I am a local farmer and MCL have always got the job done to my specs and free friendly advice all part of the great package deal. I have never hesitated to refer them on to others being confident of their performance.

MCL did our landscaping for our new build and did a beautiful job, the planting was exactly as we envisioned. Kim was easy to deal with and ensured the right plants were chosen to fit the environment as well. We have a lot of admirers in the neighbourhood its turned our house into a home. Thank you so much for your hard work in pulling it all together MCL!
