Highlights
"Zymba did an excellent job trimming and shaping our trees with his long-handled electric saw. He cleaned up so well afterwards that there was hardly a leaf on the ground. He also shaved our wooden gate which was sticking badly because the wood swells when wet. Now it opens perfectly. He came to give us a quote the very same day we called, and he did the work the next morning, all for a very reasonable price. Whatever the job, he can get it done, and I really appreciate that he insists you inspect everything when he finishes so he knows you feel is has been done to perfection. Highly recommend!"
"Mr Zymba and his colleague, did an excellent job of my hedge. It was a really wet day, my hedge is 3m tall and 2m thick, I wanted 30cm cut off the top and the front trimmed. They did exactly what I asked for, and took everything away leaving my garden neat and tidy. The service was very good, they came when they said they would, we agreed a price before they started, and they were cheerful and helpful."
"Zymber and his team did a great job on the hedge removal. Neat and clean top."

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.
