Highlights
"John and his team did a great job on replacing some wooden fence posts with concrete posts. They also did a brilliant job with fixing a leaking garage roof for us. They were very punctual, polite and cleaned up after themselves. You could not have asked for more. Will be having them back for sure for some further projects."
"Recently had another job done by John as we moved house and needed a new driveway. Extremely happy he’s super friendly and professional couldn’t recommend him enough. Thanks again will definitely be using him again"
"I recently had work completed on my driveway by John and his team. From start to finish the work conducted was of a high standard. The team were always on time and left the work tidy at the end of the day. Despite bad weather the job was completed as discussed to a high standard. Overall I would recommend John without fail."

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.
