Jane K, North Yorkshire, March 2025
“North Yorkshire came and gave me a quote for drainage work in my back garden. They kept to the time scale and were very efficient. This has made such a difference and means that we can go in and out of the back door in the winter instead of wading through a pond!”
Claire, Bishopthorpe, March 2025
“Lorne did a great job to a high standard and transformed our unpromising small outdoor space. His workmanship was excellent, he was reliable and friendly and always cleared. up thoroughly. A definite recommendation.”
John, Thirsk, March 2025
“Excellent service. Lorne is professional yet easy going, experienced and a throughly decent gentlemen. We talked through the job I needed doing of some posts to assist as framework for growing fruit trees. The posts are robust, which Lorne fitted with with great precision and thoughtfully chamfered the tops and bottoms for rain runoff to help minimise wood rot. They look professionally finished, and my wife and I are very grateful, Thank you very much Lorne!”
Bob, Harrogate, March 2025
“We were introduced to Lorne by a neighbour who had redone his drive a few years ago. Within a few hours he came and measured up and by the weekend had estimated what we felt was a reasonable sum. Having given the go-ahead Lorne set a date which was kept to. The work was diligently carried out and any minor issues that arose were discussed with us and resolved jointly. He was proactive with suggestions to make the overall effect better. We were unsure about the doorstep once it was partly done but it was no problem to have it redone to our changed requirement. The estimated duration of the work was kept to. He and his colleague worked tidily and all debris was removed.
We are very pleased with the final look and would not hesitate to use Lorne again should we need work of his speciality done in the future.
Bob, Harrogate”
Georgia O, North Yorkshire, February 2025
“Recommended through a community page. I was apprehensive after receiving horrendous quotes and pushy sales but it wasn’t the case here. Provided a detailed quote straight away to replace a fence and gate and did the work the next day. Extremely happy with the result. They were very friendly and professional. And they cleaned up after. Would 1000% recommend”

Beth Marie, Yorkshire, September 2024
“Our garden was completely overgrown and needed a lot of maintenance, Lorne was great and got it under control quickly and left it very tidy, we now have regular slots – very. professional, tidy, respectful of any plants or furniture you have and reasonable pricing. We can now enjoy the garden!”




Mark & Den, Green Hammerton, September 2024
“From the first meeting and throughout the project, Lorne, Jamie and Faith were a pleasure to work with.
We had an initial idea and Lorne helped us refine and improve it with great advice along the way.
The finished work has made an immense difference to our outside space and looks fabulous!
Lorne and Jamie were on-site when they said they would be and worked long hours to get the job done. This also included a weekend. Their customer focused work ethic is a rare thing these days and must be commended, they were also fun to be around.
I can’t recommend North Yorkshire Groudworks highly enough, if you want a top notch job completing, please consider them first, you will not be disappointed.
All the very best,
Mark & Den”

“Very professional, highly recommend, very good price”
Beth, York, June 2024
“So happy with the job Lorne and his colleague did on our garden! It was an absolute jungle full of tall grass, overgrown hedges and rubbish. Now it’s a beautiful space that we can enjoy and have plants! Very reasonable quote for the size of the job. Arrived on time, got straight on with the job and was done quickly and tidied up after, So happy and big recommendation and will definitely be regular customer!
Mark H, Pannal Harrogate, June 2024
“Excellent work by Lorne. I would recommend him and hire him again. The project involved laying sublease, sandstone cobbles and self binding gravel paths in my garden. Turned nice and looks smart, and means my children can enjoy the garden a lot more.

David, Malton. May 2024
“Excellent job putting in a concrete ramp at my back door to ease my access. Arrived on time, worked tidily and efficiently and cleared up afterwards. I throughly recommend them and would certainly use them again”

John, York. May 2024
“Lorne and his college turned up early Saturday morning, lifted all flags and dug out for the hardcore on one of the hottest days of the year so far. Put down the hardcore for a temporary road so that we can now park our car without water splashing up all over. Would highly recommend North Yorkshire Groundwork’s for any future jobs.”

Anonymous, April 2024
“Lorne was excellent, a serious grafter with a lovely sense of humour. He factored in all issues we would likely encounter and arranged solutions before they even became an issue. Using again in a couple of weeks such is my confidence in his abilities after his first project with me. Recommend.”
