Highlights
"Barry arrived to give a quote on time, I explained what I wanted and he gave me a really good quote for the work. Confirmed the day before that all was well and duly arrived today. The work was carried out efficiently, with no unnecessary noise or disruption to the neighbours, and the lads were pleasant and polite. I am very happy with the work and think the front garden looks so much better. Barry told me what to do to maintain the turf in a good condition, which advice was much appreciated. Would certainly recommend and employ again."
"Turned up when stated. Straight to work garden cleared and top soil delivered on day one. Unfortunately rain stopped work the 2nd day but received a phone call to advise us. Day three turf layer and area cleared. Kept us informed all the way through the work. Highly recommended"
"Let me start by saying a massive big “THANK YOU” to the team for making my son’s dreams turn into reality. From the initial quote visit to completion of work the level of customer service was outstanding, I was made fully aware every step of the way regarding the progress, the team would arrive daily at 8am and get stuck in straight away, ensuring the garden was left clean and safe at the end of the day. The quality of work is outstanding, I was blown away by the attention to small detail and the work being completed within the estimated time frame, I cannot recommend the team enough"

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.
