Highlights
"10/10 cant fault james and his team great job done at a reasonable price."
"from first looking at the work required a clear outline of what was to be done and associated costs were provided. All communication was clear with an onsite meet-up to ensure we were happy with the work. Everything was as discussed and all rubbish was cleared from the site. A final check before the invoice was issued also took place. I would highly recommend."
"In general, courteous and professional communications conducted during discussions. All questions answered professionally on topics such as warranty, work planning, quality and start and finish dates during work. Did what they said they would on time and to a very high standard."

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.
