Highlights
"Darren and the team were on the ball from early stage. Communication was amazing. We got a quote and available dates in a couple of days. We were updated on progress during every stage. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. Even when we uncovered unforeseen issue hours before start of the job, Darren has provided advice and solutions, so the job cold go ahead as planned. Great team & great work, could not recommend high enough."
"We've had another great experience from Darren & the team at Farnham Groundworks & Landscaping. They've replaced our fence and removed the old one. The team are super reliable and do a great job, they are very professional. We've used these guys for various jobs over the last few years and they've consistently done a good job. I have no hesitation about recommending them."
"Darren and his team did an excellent job reusing and relaying a patio and path for us in our back garden. We were very happy with the work and finish and at a good price. Would recommend"

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
