“We couldn’t be happier with the work John did in building our showjumping arena. He took the time to understand exactly what it was we wanted, and regularly communicated with us along the way to ensure it was what we were happy with. He exceeded our expectations with his conscientiousness and ensuring the technical aspects of the project were correct. We love our arena and we’d recommend John for any earthworks"
