Highlights
"Steve and Joe recently completed a new driveway and patio for us and we’re extremely pleased with the outcome. From the outset, their approach was straightforward and professional — the quotation was clear, the timetable was kept to, and the work carried out exactly as agreed. The quality of their workmanship speaks for itself, and they took the time to leave everything clean and tidy once finished. I would have no reservations in recommending them for any similar work."
"Thank you Joe and steven for our new driveway we absolutely love it. Everything was done without any fuss, very clean and tidy and finished to a high standard. Would absolutely recommend to anyone ⭐️"

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.
