Highlights
"I don't think I have ever met a tradesman quite as professional as Ben. He turned up on time to provide a quote, and did everything in his power to keep within budget. His workmanship is next to none, and he takes pride in doing an excellent job, always ensuring I was happy with the progress. He arrived at 7:30 each day, and worked solidly through the wind and the rain. I cannot recommend him enough!"
"Fantastic. Really happy with all the work. They took a garden like a building site and made it lovely. Same with the front garden. They built walls, laid victorian tile path, did the paving, fences…everything. Would definitely recommend and use again."
"In September 2025, Ben aided by his son Frankie, spent just over a week transforming our front garden landscaping. We had well used concrete tiles in two paths from pavement to the front door and side gate respectively, that needed to be replaced. Before he started Ben described how he would approach the project in detail, gave a recommendation for materials, confirmed our proposals were feasible and gave a fair cost for the works. During the clearance and construction they couldn’t have been more diligent, keeping us informed throughout, being prompt each day and tidying as the job progressed"

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.
