The mornings are just that little bit warmer and the evenings just a tad lighter – spring is on the way.
It’s that time of year when we can finally start to think about mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges or maybe even making a few cosmetic changes to the back yard.
But while some may know their ‘double shovels’ from their ‘garden spades’ and others can produce the perfect concrete mix, most of us will cry for help when it’s time to erect the garden fence.
After you’ve researched trellis and palisade fencing; weighed up the benefits of concrete and metal spears; tossed and turned in bed assessing the strength of your DIY skills - you will probably end up deciding it’s all too much hard work....and call the professionals.
When that time comes (and it will) it’s a good idea to have Brooklands Fencing on speed-dial.
Brothers Terry and Dave certainly know a thing or two about garden landscaping – and they carry out their work with smiling faces.
The brothers, along with their sidekick Les, carried no fewer than 10 fence panels and 11 posts through the flat and deep into the garden before they could even begin work.
While some traders trample mud and dirt across carpets leaving your home looking like a 1970s rugby pitch, the threesome were professionalism personified.
Mats were laid down, shoes were taken off and great care was taken to leave both home and garden looking spotless upon departure.
And after four hours of measuring, digging, drilling, hauling and hammering – not a single daffodil had been snapped and not a single neighbour upset.
These may be big men who wear heavy boots and drink tea like it’s running out – but once in the garden they show the elegance, finesse and teamwork of Torvill and Dean.
The care taken to ensure the fence was both true and sturdy was striking – and the price? Dead on budget with all the quality fencing materials supplied by Sidcup's Weatherley Fencing Contractors.
The Brookland brothers are clearly passionate about their work and, speaking as someone who is distrustful of London traders and reluctant to invite strangers into my home, I can say my eyes have been opened.
Brooklands Fencing covers Lewisham, Greenwich, Bromley, Bexley, Dartford, Gravesham and Croydon.
