Highlights
"John and his partner did a great job cutting back two plum trees, a large magnolia tree and a hedge. They gave me some really good advice, and checked in with me regularly, especially when there was more than one option on how to cut the trees/hedge. The job was done efficiently and they cleared up all the rubbish and took it with them. No complaints at all, and I'm hoping the trees grow back in a much more controlled way next spring."
"John took large tree back to roots and killed roots, removed large holly tyree as well. Left the garden spotless, was very professional and helpful."
"John did a total refurb of our garden. This entailed clearing away all the old rubbish, including large removal of large established trees and shrubs and weeds, levelling and re turfing the entire lawn, installing sleepers and fence panels. John was very helpful, and reliable. The team worked really really hard to make sure everything we asked for was completed and to our satisfaction. Great job! would highly recommend."

Smart checks
Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
