Highlights
"10/10 Steve and his team did a fantastic job clearing out the back of our garden including an old outhouse and debris. Efficient, timely and great communication."
"Excellent service - two fence panels replaced very efficiently. Very professional service and would recommend."
"We have a courtyard garden and needed a small patio laid to connect the house to garden. Based on work carried out nearby by County Landscapes we engaged them to carry out the work once we had received a very reasonable quotation. Steve and his team did a fantastic job with minimal disruption to us. The work was to an exemplary standard with craftsmanlike attention to detail. The work was undertaken as quoted and at all times e were kept appraised of progress. I would highly recommend County Landscapes for this type of project."

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 County Landscapes before you contact them.
