Highlights
"Dave had excellent comms from the offset, coming round to price the job and giving a quote within a day. He fitted us in with really short notice and when the job required extra work on top of what we’d discussed, he communicated and was able to fit us a new fence at the same time, without a change to the time frame. The quality of the work was carried out to such a high standard. Would really recommend Coldharbour Landscaping."
"The team came in and did an amazing job on our fence, not only does it look amazing, they quoted me at around 20% cheaper than 4 other local companies. Also they went above and beyond and fixed our gate free of charge. They were very polite hard working and left the place immaculate. I'd highly 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.
