Highlights
"Would highly recommend sam and his team! Was very polite, clean and tidy and a pleasure to have them work on my garden. They go out there way to keep you upto date on the progress. Will not hesitate to recommend to my friends and family for sure."
"Incredible. The team at Level Up have completely transformed my garden with artificial grass and the result is greater than I could have ever imagined. The artificial grass they have laid is seamless and to a higher quality than I expected. It literally looks like perfect grass, unlike many other artificial grass gardens that I’ve seen where you can tell it’s cheap and poorly laid. From initially quoting the job to completing it was less than a week. I could not be happier with the result and would highly recommend them to anyone!"
"Sam and his team done a great job of our driveway, I would highly recommend them. Great communication, reliable and generally nice people."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
