Highlights
"What an absolute pleasure to deal with this company. I booked the work from where I live in the southwest of England, as a surprise for my Dad who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I explained the situation and what needed doing and these guys have been so professional. They have done an amazing job. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much."
"Adam has been excellent keeping on top of my garden and leaves at the front and back of the house this autumn/winter. I’m looking forward to seeing him again in 2026!"
"Adam was helpful from the beginning and maintained constant communication. The job was delayed by a couple of weeks but he completed it despite challenging weather at a good price. I would definitely recommend him."

Adam was helpful from the beginning and maintained constant communication. The job was delayed by a couple of weeks but he completed it despite challenging weather at a good price. I would definitely recommend him.

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.
