Highlights
"We used Olie and Katherine last year and they charged £20 less than quoted becauuse they said "the job was slightly easier than expected from your description" - How many companies are that honest? That, on top of the excellent work done led me to tell them we wanted them again this year. The same will apply each year!"
"Very friendly and worked like trojans for two days. Results were amazing. Thoroughly trustworthy and would recommend to anyone."
"Ollie and Katherine were great at pruning our shrubs and fig tree. Always polite and on time, clearing up eat the end of the day. We would happily use them again"

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.
