Highlights
"I recently hired Costiff Gardeners, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about their work. The team handled everything—from weeding, to reshaping the lawn, and purchasing the plants I wanted for the beds—with real attention to detail. They worked efficiently, cleaned up thoroughly afterwards, and left the garden looking the best it has in years. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled and hardworking gardening service. I’ll definitely be using them again!"
"Extremely happy with the work carried out by Mark and his team. They were very professional and thorough, very friendly and super tidy. We would highly recommend them to others!"
"Costiffs did an excellent job of replacing our horrible gravel with beautiful new turf. They were more expensive than other quotes, but once you see the difference in quality of their work and professionalism you realise you get what you pay for. We cannot fault anything throughout the process. Highly recommend giving them a chance even if they aren't your cheapest option, you won't regret it."

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.
