Highlights
"We hired Coningsby Cultivation to replace our gravel/bush front garden with a turfed lawn and replace some flowerbed edge sleepers in the back. Right from the start they communicated clearly and came with a positive attitude. They offered options, advice and tips on aftercare - and the work is just so neat. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again!"
"Coningsby Cultivation did a wonderful job of quoting for and installing a new high quality back garden gate for us. From start to finish the communication was clear and the finished gate is perfect for what we asked for. Sounds a simple job to replace a gate but the guidance and expert advise given by Coningsby really help us. Removing the old gate whilst keeping the lock, replacing with a new lovely gate that was advised to be durable and pleasing on the eye. Fantastic service will be using for gardening needs again in the near future."
"Well presented and on time - He was very knowledgeable and would employ him again - really pleased with the price and the end result - amazing"

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Coningsby Cultivation before you contact them.
