Highlights
"It was a pleasure to work with Col Turner and his team at Colt Landscapes on the design and building of our summer house. The garden is elevated above the house and needed careful designing in order to maximise the view. The care given to this, the planning stage of the project, meant that the resulting building fitted our needs as well as fitting into the overall aesthetic of the house and garden. The team who carried out the work with Col were required to carry the materials to the site, which they did cheeringly, before the build began no matter what the weather."
"Excellent, professional company. Work was completed to a high standard and with great attention to detail. Col and his team take pride in their work and we are delighted with the result."
"Col Turner and his team at Colt Landscapes are always proffessional and friendly. We are midway through building and designing a garden room and at every stage Col has proved to be full of useful information regarding suppliers etc and very adapt at coming up with design solutions that ensure that the final building and surrounding landscaping will look terrific yet stay within budget. A pleasure to collaborate with we look forward to the end result having enjoyed the inspiring and exciting process so far."

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.
