Highlights
"Charlie and the team were great from start to finish, tidy and clean. Everything was explained and the work cracked on with, they even finished earlier than expected which was great. The project looked even better than I imagined."
"10/10 to Charlie and team having done an excellent job of paving a brand new patio area for me. It looks really lovely and now all set for the summer. They have worked all weekend in very we weather and left the garden all clean and tidy."
"Nothing tops these guys, hardworking and friendly and kind. I live in a mid terraced house with very limited access and a pretty much one way road. They didnt have an issue with this. They had to hand dig and stump grind 2 pesky stumps and lift some slabs we put down in order to even begin the job. Which was a patio at the top of my garden. They managed to hand dig, stump grind, lay the patio including building a step, top soil and gravel the sides in less then 3 days! The owner also came down to do a final inspection to ensure it was up to his standards. I would have them again everytime"

Smart checks
Before you hire a landscaper
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour — a vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials' — agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated — protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
