Highlights
"This is the second time I have personally used Rutland and Co and they have been excellent. Very transparent with the pricing options and the works were undertaken on time, on budget and to an excellent standard. I will be using them in the future!"
"Nice bunch of lads , quality work , very flexible around my changing requirements (!) , price agreed and no changes to the financial plan - I’m very fussy but delighted with the results"
"We asked for a brick path in the garden to replace the existing lawn, with uneven curves on either side, that widened into a seating area before it reached the back fence. The garden is also, awkwardly, only accessible through the house. David Rutland were happy to take on the job. Communication was very smooth, the quote was clear and competitively priced. The work was carried out on time, neatly, and with patience when moving materials through the house. And the guys doing the work were great. A year later, it's still looking as good as new. I highly recommend them!"

Smart checks
Before you hire a landscaper
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.
