## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Darren cleared and landscaped a (roughly) 100 square metre section of our garden and then constructed a paved patio area, a path and 3 concrete bases. He also replaced our back fence & rear gate using high quality posts, panels and fittings. The end result was a complete transformation - from an area that was previously overgrown, uneven and underused to a now smart and level sun terrace with accompanying foundations for a shed, a large cabin and a smaller workshop. Darren demonstrated a real 'can-do' attitude throughout in really wet & muddy conditions. I highly recommend Libra Landscaping."

> "Really happy with the work done by Libra. The new fencing looks great along with my new driveway. Its made a huge difference. Everything was done properly and with care. Would definitely recommend."

> "Darren and his team did an amazing job especially considering the challenging circumstances of the work we needed doing. They rebuilt part of the garden which is on a slope, installed new posts and gravel boards to create a retaining wall, removed and replacing fencing and gate, built new steps and returfed the garden. Darren was incredibly accommodating and responsive to our requests, completed the job in half the time we expected and left everything immaculately clean and tidy. He and his team were super hard workers and provided highest quality workmanship. I can’t recommend them enough!"

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
