⚠️ WARNING - DO NOT USE SKIPPENS FENCING AND LANDSCAPING ⚠️
I hired Adam (Skippens Fencing and Landscaping) in September 2025 to landscape my front garden. This was one of the worst contractor experiences I’ve ever had.
THE WORK WAS ABANDONED AND LEFT IN AN APPALLING STATE:
❌ Sleepers installed unevenly and misaligned
❌ Sleeper tops completely unlevel
❌ Soil left unlevelled despite this being agreed
❌ Turfing NEVER laid - not even started
❌ Significantly fewer plants supplied than paid for
❌ Large pile of dirt and slabs dumped on my driveway and abandoned
When I contacted Adam to rectify these serious issues, he point-blank REFUSED to return to complete or correct the work. He told me to “finish the work elsewhere.”
THE CONSEQUENCES:
• I’ve had to hire another contractor to fix his botched work
• Additional unexpected costs
• Weeks of delays and stress
• Garden left in an unusable, unsightly mess
This is not just poor workmanship - this is a contractor who took payment, abandoned the job incomplete, was out of his depth (way unqualified) and refused to honour his commitments.
STRONG WARNING: Do not make the same mistake I did. There are plenty of reputable, professional landscapers who will complete the work properly and stand behind their commitments. Adam/Skippens Fencing and Landscaping is NOT one of them.
Save yourself the money, time, stress and disappointment - look elsewhere.
I am sharing this review to warn others and prevent them from experiencing what I went through.
