🚦🚧🚦Possible delays Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th October. 2-way lights for dropped kerb works in #Tankerton #Whitstable Thank you for your patience
Revisiting old projects. In a UK summer where paving has heaved up and down the country it was heartening to see a solid, well built project still looking as good as the day we left it
Another dropped kerb knocked out in just over a day including hedge removal in Swalecliffe, Whitstable. We've got another one coming up round the corner soon involving 2 way lights and maybe some disruption 🫢

Happy birthday big Irwin. Back for his third or fourth stint with us, this one has lasted the longest thankfully. Always ready to fix a machine, finish late, and get stuck in - it's a joy to go to war with him against the everyday difficulties we face. There has been some dark days in the trenches but he always drags us on, and many Google reviews mention him especially. Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" Have a great time in 🇩🇪 see you next week Owen Clark-Sivyer

While I'm away on a show garden build at BBC Gardeners World Live, Owen has brought this lawn back to life in Canterbury for a returning client of ours ⭐️
Driveways with the bairns 💚
Beautiful 13" Flemish bond retaining wall in Margate. Ready for client to choose slabs for step treads. The bricks were once part of Birchington Primary School and sourced from DDS Reclamation Looking forward to phase 2: chamomile lawn and wildflower turf in the lower tier. Sober Scotty on the trowel Sober Scotty Richardson owen on everything else, along with Alice and Lee on buckets and hod. All other material from @middletontipperservices Thanks all 🍻
Couple of loads out by 9.30am on this fine Monday for Earthstone Landscapes Ltd. Lorry in the back garden? My kind of property 🤩
Client approached us after her gates were fouling the tarmac and struggling to close. Fearing she'd need new posts and a fair bit of upheaval I arranged to take a look. Turned out far simpler than she expected; one new thunderbolt to secure the wall plate, both gates raised 30mm, and it's all back in service. Job done by 7.20am on Monday and still managed to get a full day in after 👍🏽
Flying visit from my old mate Tomco Landscapes Ltd who came down from Essex to buy a spare roller from us. Tom has always been a man of his word. Turns up on time, no haggling, and no messing around. I had a job in Essex last year that started going pear-shaped... one phone call to Tom and he sent 3 men round in an hour to help us out of the proverbial. Fantastic bloke, old school values, does what he says and always over delivers. Tom you're a gent, enjoy your new machine 🫱🏾🫲🏽🍻
Lift it. Haul it. Send it. Assisting tree surgeons, landscapers, builders and gardeners across East Kent with our grab in amongst our own landscaping projects. #grab #landscaper #treesurgeon #tree #sendit
Got my arse handed to me with the diesel prices at Stop 24 the other day 😂 last time I was here in a lorry was on the road planing nightshifts for Billy Middleton Love a bit of night work 🤩
Three things we actively encourage: - tobacco usage - methodical laziness - Duolingo Arabic lessons at lunch 🇸🇦 Work sets you free 🌄

Nice job for iSecure (UK) Ltd down at the Grove Ferry removing and refitting a wobbly gate post. Andy is the man for all things automation, security, and even home cinemas. You'll struggle to find a nicer chap 🍻
Dropped kerb in Margate for a very nice chap indeed. Working on this close was like being transported back 25 years - all the neighbours looked out for each other and cups of tea were flying in from all angles. In and out in just over a day ☕️ Gear delivered by the one and only @mswtarmac
Tumbled sandstone and clay pavers made a difference to this garden over in #Whitstable Finished with an Oak planter for herbs 🌱
Always grateful for reviews like this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice little enquiry came through Jacksons Fencing recently to re set a 40 year old gate post that was damaged in a car crash. Job done while the client was out and even cleared up the pieces of car before we left 💚 We love working for nice people 🙏🏽
Nice little garden built in Canterbury recently. Real turf, rustic slate paving, sandstone walls and setts, etc. With Thanks as always to the team, suppliers, and of course our clients 🥂
Wildflower Co. 🌼 4 months difference. Landscape 34 - Unbeatable product, that thrives in impoverished soil 💐
I think the hedges and planting looked quite nice in the before pictures, but client required a new Jacksons Fencing woven gate and fence for security and to create a bit more light, space and order. All done on a Saturday between projects 🌞
Simple transformation in Ramsgate recently
Big juicy full-width DK constructed in Whitstable over the last couple of days. For dropped kerbs, driveways, patios, gardens and fences you know who to call ☎️ #weareAPL #bradstoneassured #jacksonsfencingapprovedinstaller #streetworks
Free as a bird. Nice milestone for the business today - final Bounceback Loan repayment - and also our 14th anniversary of trading. Anyone who knows me knows I despise debt or borrowing of any kind. But six years ago when they were offering up to 50k overnight with tiny interest rates it was too good to ignore. Finally having a float in the business allowed me to breathe, reinvest, reposition, and build a bulletproof costing spreadsheet to be sure I could always make the repayments and continue to progress while supporting my young family. For context, the monthlies since 2021 have been slightly higher than my mortgage repayments. Today the agreement ends and I'm chuffed to say we're still the same limited company, we never took a payment holiday nor extended the term, and didn't play any silly games. Call me old fashioned but when you make an agreement with anyone in life you see it through to the bitter end with no excuses. The same attitude goes for handling client money. I always request a mobilisation payment for future works and the same fear-driven care and attention goes into protecting your investment before, during, and after your project too 🫱🏾🫲🏽
Irises, loads of Rosa rugosa just about to flower, Acanthus, and an established Philadelphus come out of a garden. Free to a new home in the next hour. Collection from Chestfield asap or they go to the burn pile at lunch time 😪
As a 2 man team, finding casual personnel to help us deliver challenging projects is a crucial part of the process. It's important that everybody upholds the basic standards of courtesy, respect and cleanliness before we even get to workmanship. Reviews like this aren't just earned by Owen and myself - they extend to Lee who did the majority of the brutal bucket runs and Stevie on the trowel who taught me a thing or two along the way. Thanks gents, another job done - and more importantly a client treated like royalty throughout the process ⭐️
Hedges grubbed and a pair of shed bases poured in Whitstable as the first enabling phase of an evolving project. Concrete from @mitchambuildingsuppliesltd Sheds to follow from @quinneys.ltd and all the general waste taken by my old mate Perry Kemp Rubbishmaster
Ashingdon Grey faced retaining wall with access through the house! Monstrous effort from all the boys. Neat, tidy and respectful as standard. Onto the next one ⭐️
A little story about my journey with @jacksonsfencing Well over 10 years ago I bought this little truck from a gent named Paddy Moyna in Broadstairs. I ran it into the ground and it didn't look that great anymore. One day I popped into Jacksons to ask about their Approved Installer scheme and was rebuffed. The polite excuse was that there were too many installers already in the area - but the state of my truck and my relative inexperience probably didn’t do me any favours either! Fast forward to 2021 and I tried again. New(er) truck and with a cleaned up image I got the nod. A local installer had relocated to Cornwall and there was a space for us. Turns out it was Mr Paddy Moyna's shoes I was filling! And here we are today with scores of installs under our belt and always proud to offer the wide range of quality Jacksons products along with the market leading 25 year guarantee. Long live Jacksons Fencing X Cordès Horticultural Ltd 🇬🇧 Paddy if you're reading this I hope you're well brother 🙏🏽❤️
Capped off our project in Essex with this simple garden just as the client specified - XXXL Balau-clad table to cover the septic tank and pump chamber we installed last year, finished with artificial grass and a bit more Balau around the garden room. Thanks to the team for their hard work, looking forward to staying local forevermore 🙏🏽
Made to measure @jacksonsfencing gates complete this job in Tankerton. Failed stock wall replaced for Venetian Hit and Miss fencing with new brick pier. Missing section of stock wall rebuilt, and overgrown border reduced and replaced with @wildflowerexperts meadow turf. Old photo of the Antique yellow limestone patio supplied by @_londonstone Big thanks as always to Owen, Scott, Scott, Stevie and Rhett who all contributed to this one, our suppliers, and our lovely client who kept inviting us back ☀️
A few small jobs from this week. @jacksonsfencing Chilham panels around an oast house in #Harrietsham; a mid range back fence in #Beltinge; and a willow pollard with @minterstreecare in #HerneBay
Nice little nod on local radio from one of our clients Kim who spotted our post about charity tree chipping. Truthfully the plaudits should go way beyond our small contribution, and highlight how so many local businesses and individuals gave their time up to raise nearly £85k for Pilgrims Hospices 🙏🏽
3x hardcore loads out from a tight access site in Whitfield, Dover. Thanks for the job @middleton_tipper_services 🚛
Nice way to start the year 🌲 Well done all
Great weekend spent at Pilgrims Hospices in Margate, chipping Christmas trees for their fundraiser. Ably assisted by our two new best mates Reg and Doug who were at the coalface with us non-stop, rain or shine!

Replaced this dropped kerb opposite the house I grew up in, just in time for Christmas 🎄 Crashed many bikes and go karts on these paths as a kid - feels strange to be replacing them now! Thanks to @hythegardenlandscapes for the referral 😃
