Landscaping
Whole gardens designed and built, from clearance and levelling through to planting, turfing and clipped hedging.
Winscombe, North Somerset
Gardens built properly.
Houses kept right.
Landscaping, patios, retaining walls, plumbing, forestry and paddock work acrossNorth Somerset. One tradesman on the job from the first visit to the last barrow out.
What Tom does
Seven trades, one person, one price
Most jobs cross more than one trade. A patio needs a wall to hold the bank behind it, the wall needs the ground stripping first, and the outside tap wants running while the trench is still open. Having it all in one pair of hands is why nothing waits on somebody else turning up.
Patios
Indian sandstone, slate and reclaimed stone laid on a proper base, with the falls set so water leaves the house.
Retaining walls
Railway sleeper and dry stone retaining walls that hold a slope properly, with steps built into them.
House maintenance
The list of jobs a property builds up. Fencing, gates, roofs on outbuildings, sheds, repairs and the odd thing nobody else will take on.
Plumbing
Water mains renewed, stopcocks replaced, outside taps fitted and rainwater harvesting set up.
Forestry
Overgrown ground brought back. Scrub clearance, chipping, and orchards and woodland edges opened up again.
Paddock maintenance
Grazing land, paddocks and large rural gardens kept on top of through the season.

Get a straight answer
Tom comes back with what the job actually needs, what it will cost and roughly when he can start. If it is not a job for him he will say so and point you at who it is.
The work gets done
Same person quoting, same person on site, same person clearing up at the end. The site gets left clean and the waste goes with him.
Where Tom works
North Somerset and the Mendip villages
Based in Winscombe, working within about 20 miles. If you are not sure whether you are in range, ask. It is usually a yes.
Questions people ask
Does a quote cost anything?
No. Tom comes out, looks at the job and gives you a price, and there is no charge and no obligation for that. If the job is not worth doing the way you have described it he will tell you that too.
How far do you travel?
Roughly 20 miles from Winscombe, which covers Winscombe, Sandford, Banwell, Churchill, Axbridge and the villages between them, out as far as Clevedon. If you are near the edge of that, ask anyway, it is usually a yes for a job of a decent size.
How quickly can you start?
It depends on what is already booked and on the weather, since most of this work is outdoors. Tom will tell you a realistic date when he quotes rather than a hopeful one, and if it slips you will hear it from him before you have to ask.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes, particularly close to Winscombe where there is no real travel on it. A gate rehung, a patio repointed, a fence panel put right. Further out a small job is harder to justify on its own, so it is worth grouping it with something bigger.
Is it you doing the work, or a team?
It is Tom Nyamunda. One person on the job from the first visit to the last barrow out, which is slower than a gang but it means the person who quoted it is the person who built it.
What do you need from me before you can quote?
Your postcode, what you are trying to achieve and a couple of photographs if you have them. Photographs save a visit on the simple jobs and make the visit far more useful on the complicated ones.
How do I pay, and when?
Agreed with you before the work starts and set out in the quote. Larger jobs are usually staged so you are never paying a long way ahead of what has been built.
Is there VAT on top of the quote?
No. The price you are quoted is the price, there is no VAT added to it.
