## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "What can we say ! Custom groundworks was outstanding from start to finish .. punctual work, professional, friendly, reliable and perfection, the list goes on. We highly recommend Martin as he has carried out past jobs alongside the large block paved driveway and fencing currently just completed. In doingso many have admired his work during the process and have also had work carried out by him since the completion. We will be booking more work with martin for our paving in the near future as he has s such a perfectionist and takes pride in his work. Thank you once again customground works 🤩"

> "Great service from Martin. Our garden is not an easy one to work with, as we are on a hill and the path was effectively curving around a slanted basin down to the house but Martin planned and executed a new path that not only looks amazing but has increased the safety of the access to the house. I asked for natural coloured stone and he provided beautiful buff sandstone in colours that really blend into the garden seamlessly. Martin is friendly, professional and we would highly recommend him."

## Before you hire a landscaper
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
- Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
- Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
- 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.
