Great job and recommended
“Just had a new drive provided by Michael and his team. Discussed our requirements on the Thursday and his team were onsite Monday to start the job. The team worked non-stop and 3 days later we had a great looking driveway and secured recessed manhole covers which had previously collapsed. We requested a change to the design and without hesitation Michael organised it the next day. Great job and recommended.”

Courteous and easy to get along with
“Cannot recommend Michael and his team highly enough. Michael responded quickly and provided a very reasonable estimate within my budget. His team got to work the following week and cleared, redesigned and created the new garden in 5 days. Hard workers, always courteous and easy to get along with. Great bunch of lads. Thank you. Absolutely love it..as do the dogs.”

Friendly, skilled, and professional team
“After the recent storms managed to destroy our front fence I asked Armstrong if they could repair the damage following the excellent work they did on our garden last year.
