Excellent job! My garden had been left for a couple of years unattended, and shrubs and trees had overgrown. It really had become quite messy. Darren responded very promptly in giving me an estimate, and in doing the work. It was really nice and easy doing business with him. I am very happy with the results, and my garden now looks amazing. Darren and his lads were all very efficient and very nice. It was obvious to me that they all truly care in doing a good job and pay attention to detail. I will be keeping DB Services for my garden on a regular basis from now on.Posted on Stephen HolstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We recently completed a 3-acre site clearance on the outskirts of Durham for a local ecologist and scientist. The site featured extremely steep hills and banks, making access and safety a key challenge.
Over two days, our team used 4-wheel-drive brush mowers and remote-controlled cutting units to tackle dense overgrowth and restore the land to a manageable condition.
At the bottom of the valley, we uncovered a large pond that hadn’t been seen for over 20 years. A moment that meant a lot to the landowner who had originally dug it out over 30 years ago.
There’s no doubt we’ll be maintaining the area in the future. It was a pleasure to bring such an overgrown site back to life.
