Testimonials
Thanks Marty for an awesome job completing our fence. We appreciated your personable service and quality workmanship, we will be recommending your services to our friends and family for sure.
Matthew and Karen, Manurewa - Dec 2011
We would be extremely happy to recommend Martin to anyone as he has done a fabulous job on our garden. He also fixed the hinges on our kitchen cabinets and our kitchen tap. He is very professional with a personal touch in his services which is very rare to find and he goes the extra mile to assist. The tap that we bought had a small part missing and he took it personally to exchange it. His pricing is also very reasonable. We are very happy to know someone so reliable as Martin.

Martin recently came and completed various jobs around my property. He did these to a very high standard. He also did other jobs which he could see needed to be done and after consultation did these free of charge, completing them also to a high standard. It is the first time that I have come across a tradesman with such reliability, enthusiasm and integrity. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for work that you need to be done. Ensure that you include him in your list of tradesmen when you are obtaining quotes; I'm sure that like me you will be equally impressed!
Mandy Ladds, Howick - Jan 2011
I needed my decks painted, trees and hedges cut/trimmed, house washed, paths and driveway cleaned. When I phoned Martin he came to give me a quote very promptly. The work that was done was excellent and he went beyond the bounds fixing my vacum cleaner and clearing out leaves from soakage holes without extra charges. I would recommend him as he is lovely to have around and very very reliable.

Thank you for the installation of the watering system on our property. We were most impressed with the thoroughness with which you planned the work, the way you kept us informed of timeliness and the extremely neat installation. We are very satisfied that we received value for money.
Grant and Diane Taylor, Mission Heights, Manukau - July 2010
Marty has done a lot of work around our property – from fencing, replacing boards on our house, replacing locks and building gates. He is always prompt, professional and very reasonable in his pricing scheme. I wholeheartedly recommend his work to anyone who needs any kind of house/garden maintenance work done. Oh yes, and he also does lawns beautifully too!

I am delighted ! Excellant job done. Marty was quick with contact, did what he said he was going to do and when. Price was spot on and made some recommendations for the future. I would not hesitate to recommend and use again.
R Moore, Avondale Auckland - May 2010
As per Marty's web site, I pre purchased 10 fortnightly lawn cuts in December and last week Martin (after he asked when I would like my windows done) did a great cleaning job on my windows at no cost! Not often that you get someone who is willing to go that extra mile, show enthusiasm and be so innovative in developing his business. Job well done Martin, Thank you.
Robyn & David Edwards, Somerville - February 2010
I had Martin paint around a recently installed large external window reaching stories and paint some exposed brick work. His service was excellent, he was very pleasant and I am extremely happy with the professional result (undercoat/sealer and 2 top coats) His $ charge was VERY reasonable. I will be utilising his services again!
Alison Greenhorn, Howick - February 2010
We called Martin one evening to get a quote for our lawns, he was here within 30mins, said he'd be back the next day to mow, but after seeing the weather forecast that evening, he was back to mow that night. Wonderful, prompt service, we would totally recommend him :-) We wish you well in your new venture!
Dion & Sharlene, Northpark - December 2009
I have known Martin for the last 8 years. He is an honest, ethical and positive individual, with lots of passion. I had no hesitation for Martin to do some work (concreting, door lock fixed, hinges on outdoor kitchen and serviced my mower) around our house as soon as I heard about him venturing on his own. The work done was excellent and met our expectations. In fact, he even gave us a few tips around the house and garden that would enhance the value of our property.
S, Contractor Botany - December 2009
I have known Marty for a number of years and seen what he has done at his own place. Building a fish pond with precision and taking pride in the task resulted in a professional outcome. Marty never takes short cuts and the work he has done for me (lawn mowing, house washing and laying cobble stones) was done with a lot of care and attention. I would have no problem recommending his services so give him a go!
Len Gilray, Dannemora - December 2009

Michele Fanamanu, Maraetai Beach, Manukau City - December 2009
Martin has worked for me for a number of years. He is reliable and committed to providing an excellent service, often asking for feedback on his performance. He often goes beyond expectatations! I can highly recommend him and the service he provides.
