Highlights
"Sam's team arrived early and were very professional. The job took less time than estimated and an issue arose, which was dealt with quickly and efficiently."
"From start to finish these guys provided a top service. The initial response from my enquiry was efficient and I spoke to James the next day. He then made himself available for a meeting over the bank holiday weekend at the most convenient time for us. He brought samples and gave solid advice. The quote was attractive compared to others and the speed at which they could complete the job was amazing (within a week!). They arrived on time and worked hard and we are delighted with the result. Massive thanks again to James, Tommy and all the lads just getting my new pizza oven sorted!"
"Abbey paving were a delight to deal with from the initial quote to have a section of my driveway tarmac resurfaced. The men that turned up were extremely proficient, very polite and carried out the work in a very timely manner. I would definitely use or recommend this company to anyone wanting, driveway, or patio work carried out. Thanks, Terry"

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.
