Highlights
"From the initial contact to completion of the work Nigel was helpful, knowledgeable and very straightforward to deal with. The job involved the removal of an old concrete driveway and footpath and the removal and levelling of a concrete hardstanding area (around 195 m2 in total) followed by the installation of gravel on a proper sub base with granite sett edgings. The overall design was agreed beforehand with some of the details ironed out with Nigel's advice as the work progressed. Nigel and his team were friendly, efficient and considerate in the way that they tackled the work."
"We hired Nigel and his team after consultation with our garden designer. Our house is a new build and although we have no complaints about the build of the property the garden structure was made up of poor quality soil and a good deal of spoil from the build. Nigel and his team were tasked with creating two new patios and the removal and replacement of 35 tons of poor quality soil and building debris with high quality topsoil. The work was done to a high standard and the team were hardworking and polite and friendly throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Nigel and his team."
"Brilliant job! The team were really pleasant and accommodated all our requests. They put down slab work for a shed base and a stepping stone path, and shingled the rest of the garden. They also fixed some issues we had from a previous contractor, we were delighted with the work, highly recommended!"

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.
