 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AJT Landscaping is a class act! They are not only incredibly skilled at their work, but very personable. The fact that they were a trusted installer of the manufacturer’s product meant that we felt assured from the outset that we were going to get a good result. And we did. We couldn’t be happier with our new Millboard deck. Thank you, AJT.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex and his team did an excellent job on our patio refurbishment. They did what others told us was impossible with decking and it still looks stunning a few years later. The team were really friendly and professional. Alex is great at interpreting ideas and making them reality. Highly recommend!

Excellent attitude, for over 4 hrs, to getting it right in 33c temperature.
Many thanks to them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly superb customer experience.  Alex kept me informed at every stage of the project, and his foreman, Aron, and team were an absolute pleasure to deal with onsite.  They were utterly professional, polite and very accommodating throughout.  No matter the challenge or ask, they delivered.  We are extremely pleased with our new patio paving under the gazebo and could not recommend Alex and AJT highly enough.  I will certainly be asking AJT for quotes for other landscaping work in the future.  Thank you again team for a job well done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a Millboard decking project completed by AJT Landscaping, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

From the outset, Alex Tickner was professional, knowledgeable and helpful, and his team carried out the work to an exceptionally high standard. Their attention to detail and quality of workmanship were outstanding, and the finished deck looks stunning.

The team were hardworking, courteous and a pleasure to have on site. They were always respectful, tidy and clearly took real pride in their work. We would have no hesitation in recommending AJT Landscaping to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping or Millboard decking projects. Thank you to Alex and the whole team for an outstanding job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a great pleasure to meet Alex and to engage his company to undertake a small patio project at our daughter's new development home. Jack, Max and colleagues did a wonderful job of removing a partially built patio of concrete pavers and laying a far more aesthetically pleasing replacement, finished in sandstone.

Although small in scale compared to many of his projects, Alex always conveyed the sense that this project was as important as any other; fundamental to this are his exemplary communication and interpersonal skills, setting him apart from most of his peers in this industry, in our experience.

We have no hesitation in recommending Alex and his team, who were polite, respectful and helpfully communicative throughout, They have contributed, in no small measure, to a vastly improved and happier outcome, which is greatly appreciated. Many thanks to Alex and his team at AJT Landscaping!
