Highlights

"More than happy with my new decking. Pete was polite, prompt and workmanship excellent. Fair price and would definitely recommend him."

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Outback Landscapes transformed a derelict, old orchard for my neighbours, based on my rough design - grubbing out 5 ancient apple trees, erecting security fences,constructing a new decking area with a bark mulch path to connect the orchard to the rest of the garden. Then planting 8 new fruit tree varieties and turfing the whole area. Pete was punctual, hard-working and extremely pleasant. He knew when he came to quote that he would not have an easy time dealing with an unpleasant & obstructive neighbour (not me! 😂) His handling of the situation was exemplary. Assertive but calm. 5 stars."

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?
