Highlights
"GBS was recommended by a friend to lay a new resin bonded dive. Paul initially came measured up and discussed in detail what we would like in style and design. The quote was received and excepted within a week. Once the work started its been a very easy process to navigate. Sam was there at the beginning and he was there when the drive was completed, as we had uncovered a couple of unforeseen issues it was reassuring to know he was onsite to explain and use his experience and expertise to fix those potential problems. We can not recommend this company highly enough. Thank you Paul+Sam."
"This was the third job GBS have done for us. This time it was an ornamental path and garden lawn. Throughout the project their communication was excellent ensuring we got exactly what we wanted and their workmanship was second to none. We had an issue with the lawn which required a treatment. GBS helped us throughout and would not take payment until the problem was rectified a number of months later. We now have a lush green stripy lawn which finishes off our garden work perfectly. Thank you GBS - a fabulous job again!"
"Paul and the team were amazing from start to finish. This is our second time using them as they did such a good job the first time and they’ve done a great job again this time round. Very professional, reliable and communication throughout was great. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be using them again in the future :)"

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.
