Highlights
"Very efficient team who worked well together and completed the job in short time. Cleaned up the work area. Very good price."
"Jim Foster did a superb job. He was innovative, hard working with exacting standards. I have recommended him and service to a number of family and friends."
"Jim submitted a very fair quote, which was a relief to my very tight budget. Having agreed a date for the job, he actually was able to fit it in a few days early. He discussed my preferences and answered my questions so I was able to leave him to carry on. I returned to find my two out-of-control trees reduced to very pretty rounded shapes which are now in proportion with the garden size. Would heartily 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.
