“Very pleased with the garden transformation completed at my new home. John and James turned up when they said they would, worked tirelessly on the whole job, kept me informed of the progress, and were very pleasant and approachable at all times. Refreshing to have young lads at a family run business with great attention to detail and a passion for their work. Highly recommended.”

Highlights
“So pleased with the work done. The boys came to a very neglected garden, Steptoe’s Yard if you will. We had no idea of what we wanted either, other than fixing it. They have done that with aplomb. They have transformed my back and front gardens. They showed up when they said they would and kept us informed of changes as they arose. Their attention to detail is very refreshing. These young guys put their backs into this job and I am eternally grateful for what they have done. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Big or small jobs. You won’t regret it”
Detailed reviews
Work commenced without any issues until John suggested we increase a paved area without invoicing any additional cost. This added another £1300 to original cost. The joiner who came to erect the fence did not appear in the final week of the completion date. So the gates were installed with locks on the outside which means we need to reach over and unhook it when leaving the garden. Now the gates will not close properly with answer to phone calls or emails. Avoid and get a few quotes of others.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
