Ollie & Victoria5.0 / 5

Excellent service from start to finish! Dave, Stuart and the team were professional throughout and always looked for that opportunity to go one step beyond at any given opportunity. The team were professional in their initial assessment of the work that needed doing, and were exceptional throughout our garden rennovation. We’re delighted with the end result! Would highly recommend and will, without doubt, use the team for any future work we need completing.

Peter Manley5.0 / 5

I would highly recommend this team for garden landscaping / paths / patios etc. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to deal with: Hard-working, friendly and polite, (and flexible when we had a slight change-of-mind part-way through the job) :/ They installed a large raised porcelain patio, and also cut-out borders, laid brick pavier paths and planters. The entire garden was totally transformed in just one week. I expected to be left with lots of clearing up work afterwards .... but I had nothing more to do. All ready for planting out. Brilliant! We are over the moon with the results ! Before and after pictures to follow shortly...

I cannot recommend Dave & Stuart highly enough. Their price was fair, and once we worked out between us what our budget was they were happy to make suggestions to reach that without compromises. The job (new patio, new stones, new garden fence) took about two weeks, yet one time when I was unhappy with the finished product (which was only due to the setting-out of our extension, not their actual work) they discussed it among themselves and came up with a satisfactory solution. It now looks perfect, but it was clearly important to them that we were satisfied. All four of the lads were extremely pleasant, always willing to go the extra mile (helping to plant bushes and plants at no additional expense - as they had the equipment). Not only that but we always felt we could trust them in our home, even if we went out, and that's important. We are extremely happy with the final product and I have absolutely hesitation in recommending their work to anyone in the Bournemouth area.

We are very pleased with the patio fitted by Dave and the team. This is the second time we've used them and would do so again.

Nick Day5.0 / 5

Dave and Stuart team did a fantastic job for us. They transformed our garden in under 1 week. They listened to our needs and kept to our tight budget and delivered a garden to a superb quality. We're delighted that we chose DS Elite Ltd and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a garden renovation. Our neighbours were suitably impressed that they used DS Elite Ltd for a similar project a couple of months later! A final point - Dave was able to use his truck to store and transport all materials and waste from our house, which meant we didn't need to hire in a skip, which was a nice touch! Thanks again DS Elite Ltd!

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.
