Highlights
"Ben and Nick came to the property to remove overgrown ivy on the side of the house and part of the roof. They got the job done fast and exceeded my expectations. They were both incredibly friendly and down to earth guys. Highly recommend 👌"
"Had front garden cleared and horrible spiky hedge trimmed. Ben and his partner were fantastic and didn't stop working the whole time they were here and everything was left tidy and they brought the equipment to ensure their own safety. They were prompt at arriving, very polite and helpful and checked at the end to see if it was to my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to book them again if I needed anything else doing. Would definitely recommend them."
"Ben and Nick did an amazing job trimming back my large hedge and three trees. They were really polite and friendly and communication was always good prior to the job taking place. Ben really listened to what I wanted which was for the garden to still be natural and informal. Nick did an excellent job clearing everything up so well the garden looked really good. At all times Ben checked that I was happy with what they were doing and if I wanted anything more taking off. I would thoroughly recommend Ben Haley gardening services to anyone looking for a great gardener. Thank you guys!"

Smart checks
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.
