Stephen is a very hard worker, very interested in the job. He made the grounds a lot more attractive than they were before. I would like to have retained him for a longer period.

Director of Operations, Pasadena/Los Angeles, USA

Stephen demonstrated his horticultural expertise and proved to have considerable skills in general maintenance and repair. Stephen's attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident and he proved adept at identifying and solving many of the problems that we encountered in bringing up to a high standard our 17th century home and its grounds which had previously been sorely neglected. He amply demonstrated his practical skills in reconstructing and repairing our centuries old flint and brick walls. His many abilities contributed considerably to the character and upkeep of the property.
