Excellent service, professional and well priced. Definately rexommend.

Mark did a great job putting up our new fence. Highly professional, and very hard working - especially in the recent bad weather. Even managed to help out our neighbours following damage to their own fence. Quote was very reasonable, and Mark’s communication throughout the job was great. Highly recommended!

Mark was great, arrived on time and did a great job putting up my fence and a new gate.

Great value for money, would definitely recommend Muddy Boots.

Mark (Muddy Boots) replaced two wooden fences for us in the back garden over three days. He proved himself to be reliable and a hard worker. His attitude and behaviour was professional throughout the whole process, and we were very pleased with the end result. I would definitely call on his services again.

Mark was brilliant from start to finish. Reliable hard working guy. Always arrived on time. Did a great job of clearing and laying new turf, he also replaced an old fence and all done in 3 days. Would highly recommend. Genuinely nice guy and not over priced.

Mark put up some trellises against a long brick wall for us. He was prompt and polite and we are very pleased with his work. He kept us up to date with any issues and offered options and advice.

Excellent work putting up posts and a trellis to support a heavy rose bush. Reliable and friendly.

Mark has done a few jobs for us fencing and slabbing. He is slabbing our fencing the front of our property. As always an excellant job done, highly recommended.

Mark did some work for me when I moved into my new flat. I am very happy with how the garden looks. He put down new grass and decking which looks great.

He was very professional and reliable. He made a big effort to keep costs down too. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Mark is excellent and we can highly recommended him.
He had previously planted the green hedges in our front garden and now he removed the grass from both front and back gardens and he laid the turf.
Mark is very professional and reliable, he did an excellent work from the day he came to have a look at the work to the day of completion. Our turf is thriving, we couldn’t be happier, thank you so much Mark.

Mark has done a couple of fencing and shed removal jobs for us in the last few months. Excellent work on both occasions especially as the jobs seemed to throw up a few tricky issues! He turns up and keeps in touch too! Have already arranged some more work with him that needs done. Many thanks Mark!

Mark had previously built a replacement new fence dividing my garden from my neighbours which was done to a very high standard. Mark has come back to replace my two side gates.

As a suggestion from Mark to have Grey steel posts I went along with his advice and have been completely surprised how effective the gates now look with new panels to complete the job.

Mark is a very professional Joiner, takes his time to complete each task of the job with pride and I would be very happy to recommend him for any joinery projects that I would make in the future.

Mark expanded the paving area for my patio. Everything was great from start to finish - he provided a very transparent quote, and explained everything to me clearly. He completed the job beautifully and gave me lots of great advice too (I am a novice gardener). I would definitely recommend Muddy Boots, and will use Mark's services again if I need more work doing.

Built a fence in the garden, did a good job. We had to submit documents to the council due to shared garden with the neighbor. He was very helpful, the job was done as quoted, no delays, no issues.

We needed a section of the fence in the back garden replaced. Mark came around to have a look and provide us with an estimate. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, and we appreciated that he looked at pragmatic ways to keep the cost down without compromising on the overall quality of the job - such as reusing the fence posts which were still sturdy and didn't need to be replaced.
On the day of the job, he ensured the work was done properly and to a good standard. We are pleased with the new fence and gate and would be happy to use his services again.

Mark did an excellent job. Would highly recommend him.

Very impressed with Mark’s work. Mark attached a trellis to our garden wall. He did the job efficiently and to a high standard. Mark also built a raised bed for us which was equally of good quality and done in good time. We will definitely use Mark again.

We contacted Mark recently regarding moving some fencing further down our garden - he responded very quickly and helped us plan out what we would like, including how best to reuse materials that we already had. We were able to book him in to complete the work very quickly, and he installed the new fencing this weekend. He did a brilliant job, and even helped my partner move one of the sheds to a different position, which was very kind. It has completely transformed our garden into a lovely space to enjoy in the spring and summer ahead. We would definitely recommend him, and would contact him again for future work. Thanks again Mark!

I asked Mark if he could double up an existing 6ft fence in my back garden. He came yesterday to measure and price the job, he gave me a price right away, ordered the materials, came back today and the job is all finished! Excellent service, so quick, efficient and tidy. Highly recommended. I would definitely use Mark again.

Mark did the job when he said he would, explained all costs and what was involved.

Mark (Muddy Boots) is fantastic and I would highly recommend him. Mark was extremely accommodating, was clear about the cost & time expectations. Mark kept me informed throughout and completed the work to an extremely high standard. I would happily use Mark again in the future.

Super fence work, Area cleaned up as ongoing. Just what I asked for. If i need any other fence work done then this is the person to call. Hi name is Mark & very reliable.

Mark replaced a garden fence at the back of our property. Very happy with the result, high standard of work and competitive price. Very helpful throughout the process, giving good advice and working to resolve some unforeseen issues at our end. Will be using again for other projects and would recommend to others.

Excellent service and very happy with quality of fencing

Excellent service all round. Mark was straightforward to work with - honest and up front about his scope and timelines. He kept me well informed throughout the course of an extensive fencing project which was brought in on budget and, most importantly, to an excellent standard of workmanship. Mark is a true perfectionist. I highly recommend his services and I will certainly be using him again in the future.

Mark undertook various Replacing & Repairing jobs of, Fencing including Rabbit-proof Fencing, Fence posts & Gates ( one of which he built ). He undertakes his work with enthusiasm and always displays a genuine will to please & co-operate. I have found him to be dependable & honest & despite his busy work schedule always makes time to return calls & to respond to texts/emails.

Mark was employed to replace the fences in our front and back gardens. The front was completed last year and we are absolutely delighted with the work he carried out. We agreed that as it was getting late in the year the larger back fence would be left until the spring. This is where the reliability issue comes in. We were given an early estimate of end of March/April and then a confirmed date which was moved twice. He has failed to contact me again to provide any further update so we had to cancel him.

Excellent at what he does but communication and commitment to timescale let him down.

Had a hazel and birch fence erected, and hedging trimmed.
Very pleased with Mark’s work. Friendly and efficient. Would recommend.

I needed to replace old fence posts that were not holding well after the strong gales . Mark came to assess what was needed and kept in touch as to timescales as to how and when work would be done . Mark was able to do the work earlier and demonstrated a high standard of work and expertise . He also was able to rectify another fence for me too at the same time . He definitely goes above and beyond and takes a pride in his work .
Thank you Mark

trees pruned and area underneath weeded and bark laid

We had used Mark before to save a broken fence - this time it was a full replacement. It’s the sturdiest fence, looks good, and Mark consulted us at all times to check we were happy with how the job was progressing. Mark takes great pride in his work. He is reliable and always keeps you informed on progress and planning. No hesitation in recommending.

Mark saved our fence after Storm Dudley did its best to destroy it! Mark was exceptionally helpful and extremley professional. He came when he said he would and worked hard whilst he was with us.
We are very grateful for the care and attention he gave and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
A job very well done and one we are very happy with.

Mark was recommended to us by a friend. He was very responsive and attentive. He kept to his word on timescales and did a great job in fixing our fence after the recent storms. We would highly recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.

Mark mended our broken fence even though the weather turned really nasty. He explained what he would do, turned up on time and did a great job. He says he takes pride in his work and this is evident. He got me to pay the timber company direct and then billed only his labour. I have booked him to re-lay a patio in better weather - can’t say better than that as evidence that we’re pleased with his work.

Mark was quick to reply to my initial contact and came out very quickly to give a quote. My fence was repaired in less than 10 days from my initial contact which was great. He kept me informed throughout and did a good job. I would use him again for any fencing jobs.

Very competent job, replacing a damaged fencing panel due to the recent gales. Would highly recommend.

We were recommended by friends to contact Mark. Our old fence needed replaced , Mark was very informative and explained everything that needed done , we had a 20ft fence and posts replaced in a timely manner and very organised and tidy work. We are really happy with the job done.

Mark put up a 6m length of fence at the bottom of our garden, replacing one that had rotted and disappeared over the years.
Excellent job, looks very sturdy and will no doubt outlast the rest of the fence!
Quick work, and no problems. Many thanks!

Mark has just put a new fence up for me and he has done an excellent job.
I am very pleased with his work. He is very pleasant, reliable and trustworthy and his charges are very reasonable. I have no hesitation
In recommending Mark for any garden work needed.
Thanks Mark for all your hard work.

We needed a fence built in a tight space between a wall and the hedge for security and privacy, as our garden backs on to the street. Mark turned up when he said he would and even though the job turned out to be not as straightforward as first thought, he came up with solutions to make it work and didn't complain once, even when crawling under the hedge to fit the fence. I would and will use Mark again and without hesitation would definitely recommend him.

Mark put in seven posts and rebuilt a fence and gate that had been damaged in the recent high winds. He came out promptly to view the job and proved to be reliable and friendly. I have recommended Mark to family and friends and have no hesitation in recommending him to you.

Mark repaired a falling down garden fence. Knowledgeable offering a range of options to replace or fix. Good communication about the job and very reliable.

Mark had been maintaining my previous garden for a number of years and agreed to do my new (new build) garden when I moved house.

He worked tirelessly extending the patio, assembling a garden shed, digging over the very compacted soil, building raised beds and laying turf. As always he kept me informed and was continually looking for the most cost effective ways to do the work.

I trust Mark completely. He is honest, reliable and very helpful.

Great job Mark!

This is the second time this year I have had Mark do fencing for me , again he carried out a great job from start to finish and did't stop all day until fence was completed, would not hesitate to use again for any future jobs, thanks again Mark.

Old slabs uplifted and replaced with new ones. A few problems did not phase the gardener and he took his time and made sure all was perfect. Would use him again in the future.

Mark put a couple of fence posts in for us today.He did an amazing job.He did work for us a few years ago as well.
He is very very reliable and always on time,and goes out of his way to help people.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs garden work done!!...

Very efficient, accommodating and pleasant to deal. Excellent work delivered

Mark is a really hard worker. Went out of his way to fit us into his very busy schedule. Really pleased with the quality of work, carried out at a very reasonable price.

We needed a fence repair at pretty short notice and Mark fitted us in to his busy schedule which was just brilliant. He did a great job at a very reasonable price. His communication is good and he always turned up when he said he would! Very happy and would use Mark again in the future.

Mark replaced my gatepost. The work was done very quickly at a very reasonable cost and he explained in full everything he needed to do and why.
Mark came to my rescue within days of me initially making contact with him over the phone.
He went over and above by attaching my gate locks and latch that I had bought.
I would definitely recommend Mark from Muddy Boots.
Thank you again Mark!

Mark did a great job of a small, but really awkward, bit of fencing for me.
He was prompt in coming round to give me a quote, and the quote was very reasonable.
He was good at keeping in touch about when he was able to do the work, and he turned up when he said he would.
Will definitely contact Muddy Boots next time the garden needs attention
Thank you again

Following a work colleague’s recommendation I contacted Mark to see if he would build a gate for our driveway. Couldn’t have asked for better service. He called me back straight away, stopped by within a day to see where the gate was wanted and had the gate built on site within 2 days of contacting him! Excellent value and more than happy with finished product.

We are super pleased with the work Mark completed for us. He is a great communicator, trustworthy and very timely. He helped us work out exactly what we wanted before starting and where to buy the materials from for a good price (hard to do during Covid!). He broke down old planters and cut down our old hedge, removed a tree stump and then built us a brand new fence. Will be booking him again for our patio! Cheers Mark!

I would highly recommend Muddy Boots Gardening and Fencing Service.

Mark transformed my front garden by slabbing, installing a new gate to allow me to put my caravan in and he also landscape my garden which has made life easier for me.

Customer service and reliability was excellent I will be using Muddy Boots again for my back garden.

We had Mark lay a rear patio and lift and relay a large drive and found him to be very friendly and offered lots of advice on different ways of achieving a very good finish. He is always striving to keep the customer happy which he certainly achieved in our case. Would not hesitate to use him again, highly recommended

Mark removed two hedges and some old fencing and replaced them with new fences.
Mark provided a friendly service and delivered to a high professional standard. I would have absolutely no hesitation in using him for any future garden services.

We found Mark to be friendly, helpful, and professional. Our 6-foot-high stock fence was built in a timely manner. He had some issues to deal with because of where we wanted the fence but he dealt with them and the finished product looks great and does what we need it to do. Marks prices are also more than reasonable, and we will definitely be using Muddy Boots again in the future. Thank you for a job well done Mark.

Mark built a new fence for us and we are extremely happy with it. Good price, very reliable and great work, what more could you ask for!

Mark repaired our fence after storm damage. Perfect job, wouldn’t know it had been damaged.

Fence and gate. Mark and his labourer did a grand job, turned up on time did the job quickly. We have asked him to do another job for us. Highly recommended.

Mark and his team fixed my garden fence by installing new fence posts and attaching the fence panels so that they were no longer bowing over the pavement. Very friendly service and kept me up to date with timescales for when he could complete the work around his pre-existing work.

I needed to have a garden gate and posts replaced following storm damage. Mark responded quickly to my call, came round to view the damage at the weekend and had completed the job within a couple of days. He was responsive, polite, helpful, quick and good value for money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

Pruning apple and pear trees. Having had bad experiences with garden work in the past it has been a relief and pleasure to find someone who listens to requests and completes job without problems and removed every bit of pruned branches. I would recommend Mark to anyone needing work in garden.

Garden makeover to replace grass with slabs and stones and create two raised beds. Mark was conscientious, arrived when he said he would, and kept us informed throughout.
Very happy with result. Will use his services again in the future.

Job Description - Clear out old and very weedy flowerbed replace with slabs and stones.
Job was done promptly and to my complete satisfaction. During the work kept me informed of what he was doing thus giving the opportunity for any admendments if wished.
Have used Mark before and will do so again if I have another gardening job.

We recently moved into a new build and the builders had left our garden space in a right mess - the garden was in no way level and the soil was full of rubbish. From the outset Mark was extremely attentive to our wants and needs - taking an hour to inspect the garden so that he could make an accurate and competitive quote. He started work almost immediately and put in long hours to transform our garden - laying a patio, raising the level of the garden and seeding it. Mark was consistently keeping us updated with the progress and cost of the project, ensuring that we were happy with each stage.

We would definitely use Mark again in the future.

Landscaping and raised beds, starting from scratch. Mark reliably turned up at agreed times - initially working in atrocious weather. Attentive to keeping costs down where possible. Very patient when thoughts and plans changed! Happy to work long hours in order to complete work in agreed time frame.

Small picket fence 17.6.19
Mark did an excellent job, delighted with his attention to detail and
his friendly and professional skills.
Highly recommended and I will certainly use his services again.
Thank you

Mark replaced a 26 ft long fence and I am very happy with the completed job.
Mark was very conscientious and turned up early on a Saturday morning as the job had been delayed by the weather.
Mark is thorough and pays attention to detail.

I would have no problem in recommending Mark and I am planning on using him again for a future job in my garden.

Mark did a great job with our fencing at our new property. We needed the job done quickly and Mark fitted us in around his other jobs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and to recommend him.

Came recommended. Came at short notice and completed job quickly. Very satisfactory service.

Excellent service from Mark at Muddy Boots. Was very detailed about the work to be performed and knowledgeable. Good at adapting materials to the needs of my garden. I am delighted with my new fence and raised plant bed.

Mark created a good raised bed (in very difficult soil and a difficult shape), repaired a fenced bin area, fitted a new garden gate and built new fencing for us. He was patient, punctual and well-organised throughout the process, making the most of limited resources and a fairly demanding client!! He did a good job, was great at getting back to us promptly and we plan to use him again for more gardening work.

Friendly, punctual, efficient and cost effective. Would highly recommend.

Mark was very reliable and knowledge in designing my new house garden. He kept me all the time informed. I am very happy with his work although it was not the best time of year to work in the muddy garden.

November 2018

Mark did an excellent job cutting back Leylandii and putting in new fencing. His customer service was particularly good, keeping me informed and consulting me throughout the job.

Mark came out at short notice to replace rotted fence posts. Did a good job, we are already discussing other landscaping works we have been considering.

We asked Mark to come quote for a fence repair after a storm. He arrived quickly to quote and completed the job when he said he would.

His price was very reasonable.

We have already asked him to come back to do more work later in the year and will be our go to man for any garden work.

Completed a big job very well. Perhaps could have done with a labourer to assist. We made one or two small changes which Mark took in his stride.

We are delighted with our new garden. At our first meeting we gave Mark our budget and he came up with brilliant ideas.We had a relatively small budget which he worked with! He lifted turf, put down stones, built wall using railway sleepers and also laid a new patio. He was lovely to deal with and took pride in his work. We have booked him to come back in September to do more work for us.

Mark has done exellent work, on several occasions coming out at short notice to tidy up, cut grass, tame an unruly Hawthorne hedge. I can't praise him highly enough. A good worker and a nice bloke.

Mark put down two tons of lawn dressing, levelled the ground and laid grass seed.
We found Mark's work to be excellent, well priced and professional.
Mark himself is friendly and is happy to give advice.
He has cleared and rotavated the garden for us prior to this latest work he has done and we will be contacting him again for further work.
Very highly recommended.

Mark carried out some landscaping, in my front garden. Removal of existing grass , preparation, laying chips and fitting concrete decorative edgings. Then spreading grass seed to fill in bare areas on the existing grass areas.
All works carried out to the highest level, Mark is friendly, polite and on time every time. Nothing is too much trouble. I found Mark great for ideas and general advice, I will be hiring Mark later in the year to carry out further changes to the remaining garden. I would without hesitation recommend Muddy Boots garden/fencing services to everyone!. Fantastic Mark!

Mark responded quickly to my telephone call came within an hour to have a look and did work the following day. Renewed 3 fence posts. Hard worker kept garden tidy and removed debris.
Very reasonably priced when others were not really interested in such a small job. Would recommend and use again.

Mark has built a garden fence with gate for me at the time no other traders were interested in doing such low value work. The quality of the work and communication with Mark has been excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. In fact, I'll be using his services again for another job in the garden.

Mark was prompt at getting back to me regarding a quote for the work to be carried out.
I agreed to the quote for installing a gate and clearing a small piece of ground, putting down membrane chips and a raised bed. However the work was very rushed which equates to it costing £50 an hour and of very poor quality and finish.

I would not recommend Muddy Boots and have arranged for another person to finish the job to an acceptable quality.

Mark was recommended to me and I was very happy with the work he carried out. He replaced our back fence, put in a front fence and side gate. He was very reasonably priced, friendly and approachable. Would use him again.

Mark was extremely reliable and kept us informed of any delays (few) caused by the very bad weather. He kept costs to the minimum and we would certanly use him again.

Replaced an old garden gate with a new one and also replaced a gate post and a fence post. Mark did a good job, was very helpful and my garden looks all the better for it. Good value for the money.

Excellent work, high quality finish. Great value.

Putting in 2 x new fence posts in back garden as the original ones were coming loose and the fence was starting to fall down.

Mr Gerrard was most helpful. I originally spoke to him on the phone as I saw his name on the East Lothian Council website so I knew he could be trusted. I am very very pleased with his work and his polite manner. I would definitely recommend him to friends !!

Large hedge cut. Weeding and laying bank around base of hedge. Edging grass. Planting plants.

General gardening and tidy up. Path laid and edging put in place.

This was a general tidy up job and not a gardening project. No plan or structured timetable was required.

Custom built side gate, 5 new fence posts and gate post in rough ground: Very good at being  reasonable on timing and cost.  Recycled our old wood too.

Remove old 6' garden fence.  Install new 6' fence and gate: Reliable and value for money service.

Removal of Leylandii hedge.  Replacement with wooden fencing.  All rubbish to be removed: We were very satisfied with the standard of work which was carried out efficiently and in good time.

Taking out old fencing and shed.  Post re-attached: Very pleasant man, I would recommend.

Digging over final section of very compacted garden, prepare it for use and lay a lawn: Mark came when he said he would following a prompt reply to an email enquiry.  He advised us to use seed instead of turf with a full explanation, saving us money.  He worked diligently when here and returned 3 weeks later to check that the seed had taken and offer further advice.  We will definitely use his services in future.

Removal of some very large shrubs.  Cutting back and tidying up a few more shrubs: Mark is an extremely hard worker.  A polite and courteous man.  I was very pleased with the work done in my garden.  Highly recommend.

Dug garden over, put rails in for borders and pegs, put grass seed down: Mark kept us informed and came when arranged.  Nice person to talk to and seems to enjoy his work.  Only thing is we ordered too much materials which cost us more than it should have.

Stock fencing along a garden/field boundary.  24m in length (10 posts): Mark worked hard and was always polite and courteous.  He kept us fully informed throughout the job, and used same re-claimed materials from another job in order to keep costs down.  We would recommend him for garden work and would definitely use him again.
