Highlights
"Derek and his team dug out our front beds, replaced the sleeper edging and laid a new path along the front of the beds. Derek spent plenty of time with us when planning the job so we were all on the same page and the team made suggestions after they had started of ways to make the new beds look nicer. I was really impressed by their attention to detail and I'll definitely be calling them again for the next landscaping job we need doing."
"Derek and his team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I was given a firm price, and approximate start date which they stuck to. The team were polite, friendly and respectful of my property. I was kept informed of their progress every step of the way. I am delighted with the end result and would happily recommend this company."
"All the garden workers were politic and friendly. They were done everything I asked . When they finished the whole place was clean"

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.
