We approached Duncan Ross Ltd with our problems and objectives; they studied the site and came up with the solutions and a plan of action. We are very impressed with the final results. The work is of top quality. Now anyone who wants to come and enjoy this area of natural beauty will be able to enter the woods with ease.
