Highlights
"Following the initial quote and follow up visit, John and his team got working the next week, which was impressive notice. 1 day to clear and hard pack the area then half a day to tarmac over. Very courteous throughout, also went above and beyond with a tiny bit extra not originally quoted. We are absolutely delighted with the work done at a great price, and 100% would recommend. Thank you John and your team."
"Scheduled work which was carried out over two consecutive days. Removed lawn on day 1 and left at the end of the day with work area in neat and tidy condition. Concreted next day, tailored to path already there. Very neat, tidy and no fuss job. Pricing very reasonable with good advice on best ways to have the job done. Also advised on drying time for concrete, important after job consideration. A very good all round experience. Photos are for before, after day 1 and in job completion."
"We were very impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail. John and his team were excellent to work with."

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.
