Highlights
"When it comes to groundworks, Pete is king! He really knows how to plan, organise and deliver. We had previously used him for a complicated patio, and he has given us a great new concrete driveway, lowering a drain manhole to be flush with the drive. His price for the job was competitive and fair. The team worked hard and professionally. Even brought their own portaloo so did not bother us for breaks, though grateful for refreshments whenever offered. We are really pleased with the finish and did exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended and know the work will last decades."
"Pete was professional from the very start. Communication was great from quote to end of work being carried out, including aftercare. All work carried out to a high standard. Very please with the results! Would definitely recommend!"
"Pete has done work in our garden, including work on our driveway for the past 10 years. He's always helpful, and the standard of work by him and his team is always first class. He's just done a small job, but we'll be using him again next year for a couple of larger projects."

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.
