Highlights
"Very professional, on time and worked their socks off. Very happy customers"
"From the initial quote to the jobs completion, James and his team were excellent. They arrived on time, were very hardworking and respectful. They gave me time to choose what I wanted and a couple of last minute changes were Implemented without any fuss. Everything was kept neat and tidy. As someone who is newly widdowed it was daunting trying to find someone I could trust to do the job and not feel ripped off or unsafe. James and his team reassured me and have transformed the outside space around my home into something to be really proud of."
"Had new block paving laid this week and honestly cannot fault Laurence and his team, from the get go, guys turned up promptly, completed job looks outstanding - highly recommend"

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.
