Exactly what it says in the title! Thinking of erm, new garden path and steps and a hand rail and wondering how much it'd cost, and if there's anyone on the forum looking for work of this nature who's happy to let me look at other work they've done/give me a quote, etc.

Do you have an idea of what you're after ?. Are we talking concrete, gravel, stone, blocks, sleepers ?. Length of path, number of steps, is it replacing an existing path/steps ?.

PM'd you so we can keep the fascinating details of my (proposed) new steps a secret!

We'd be interested. Most of our landscaping work hasn't been in Sheffield but there's a school near here you could pop up and have a look at - we've done a quite a bit of landscaping work up there. Let me know if you're interested.

Apperknowle Primary School, Apperknowle - just outside Dronfield. The decking area, play boat, play house and pond area is all our work. Obviously if you do pop up then please ask permission of the head Sheila before you go hunting round the playground. Ta

Hope to solve any home improvemt problems you may have.
Got a little ad on the notice board if you care to browse with my details. Under home improvements.

Regards to previous work history to many to name, but all work guarenteed.

Dependant on size of jobs, payments received on completion and customers satisfaction.

thanx and Good luck!

Ok, update, and thanks for all the suggestions.

We had several people out to look but for various reasons, only had one quote: £3,000.

Like, slightly more than we were looking at paying! It's only a few steps ffs! And they're there anyway, only looking to extend them to make them shallower and thus more accessible to folk without long legs and a ballerina's sense of balance..........Maybe I'm just out of touch, but I was expecting something under the £1,000 mark.
