Our visits in the last year have been less frequent and the yard (trees, shrubs, herbs etc) was closing in on our couryard villa.

We called Rupert Cross...and are so glad we did. He arrived (later than he said but hey it's the villages, do we really need to hurry?), gave a fair estimate, and actually started the job right then. He and his crew of four did exactly what needed to be done, did it quite fast and did a MOST excellent job. What would have taken us many days was accomplished in a couple of hours. The cleaned up wonderfully at the end of the job.
It is very clear from the start that Rupert knows his business well. I will happily continue to use him.

P.S.....seems like a very peaceful soul....nice bonus.
