Highlights
"Craig was very quick to get in touch, offer a quote and complete the job to a wonderful standard."
"Many thanks to Craig & Fred for a great job on my decking & turf. Competitive quote. Came to quote at the time & date arranged. Job carried out on day arranged. Very tidy and professional service Thank you Kim"
"C W Pattenden Garden Services have helped us out twice, once for the back garden of our new build house and once for the front. Craig and his team were fantastic: from helping with ideas for our new garden, to procuring the plants and doing the groundwork and planting. We are really pleased with the results and regularly receive compliments from passing neighbours! Work was done to time and to budget and with great communication. Would highly recommend."

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.
