Highlights
"Bobby cut back a laurel hedge and removed an overhanging oak branch. All mess was cleared and I was delighted with the outcome. Would not hesitate to use again."
"Excellent service and attention to detail. But by and his son worked very hard to achieve a first class result. Highly recommend."
"Bobby and his son did a superb job laying a new patio and rebuilding the retaining wall. They also built a stock proof fence around my vegetable patch and rear garden to stop deer and other wildlife. They were both hard working, courteous, and good at time keeping. Bobby’s communication skills were good too - he also kept me up to date with where we were on the project and kept me informed of any issues encountered so that we could work through these. I would certainly use Bobby and Elliot again for any hard landscaping and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

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.
