Highlights
"This house is in the process of being cleared to be sold. I needed the driveway to be cleared of bushes. John and his team did an excellent job, they were on time, efficient and I'm very happy with the results. It has made a huge difference as you can see!"
"I had my overgrown garden cleared and unwanted concrete items removed. Leaves cleared up."
"These guys were brilliant! Turned up and had a look and said they could do it today, they came back in 30min and did the whole job, super quick, super efficient and whats more they cleaned up thoroughly after themselves. Highly recommend."

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.
