Highlights

"This is the second time I have Aquarius Landscaping. Ben and Josh worked extremely hard. I have always been pleased with what they have done. Both times while working for me I have asked them for extra work to be done. The amount they charge me extra for the additional work I have always been happy with."

"Could not recommend Ben & Josh more highly. Prompt, polite, professional & have done an amazing job remodelling our garden even with the challenges of the great British weather! From initial contact & throughout the job, Josh has always kept us up to date with progress & checked in regularly to confirm requirements. We’ve already booked them in for part 2! Thanks both, it’s been a pleasure having you around. See you soon!"

"Josh, Ben and Billy were simply fantastic! Professional, friendly and courteous. Very knowledgeable with the materials available and what would be best for our drive. Any questions we asked were fully answered, along with some no obligation recommendations. I also wanted to keep the majority of the old paving blocks and asked if they could just dump them round the back, not only did they take the old blocks to the rear garden, but they also stacked them all neatly, plus they took away some old rubble and hardcore away for me. Always cleaned up each day.... True and trustworthy professionals."

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
