We let the work speak. Here's what it says.
"Rex is in the rare breed category of tradespeople, and with average being good in the construction industry Rex is excellent. He turned up when he said he would — did a great quality job — did what he said he would do and at the fair price that was agreed — job done! We look forward to hiring Rex again and would highly recommend him."
"Rex Rowell came to dig out hundreds of old stumps. He was meticulous with his work. Levelled the ground really well after each stump removal and left the site immaculate. A true professional — wouldn't hesitate to have him back."
