Just had my back yard flagged, but think it is a very poor job, and the bloke who did it is refusing to put it right.
was wondering if i needed a second opinion (in writing) on the standard of work carried out and the cost of putting things right, who would be willing to do this?

there are people who can give second opinions for payment but that doesnt mean your contractor will come back and put it right
If you can post a picture we will give it the onceover here, have you paid all the money?

ive done such a thing in the past before, the bloke only went and told the guy that did it. "Dan from DN Groundworks came and had a look and he reckons its a right bodge" - cheers for that pal.

Lets have a look at the photos.

Looks pretty cheap, the weather seems to have spoilt the Pointing round the edge and it's all a bit scruffy on the finish details but if those are the materials you chose, it looks basic but ok, what's the problem?
