5.0out of 5
Highlights
"Friendly, personal, responsive, reliable and very professional service all round for a garden renovation project (including laying of artificial grass). All done for a very reasonable cost. Everything was consideration to me as the customer. Very recommended."
"I asked Proximity Landscapes to remove an old, rotten deck and replace it and the path beside it with a brick patio. To say they did an excellent job is an understatement! They worked with diligence, politeness and professionalism. I could not be more delighted."
"We recently had a full garden makeover carried out by this fantastic team, and the results exceeded all expectations. From the outset they were friendly and incredibly welcoming – even to our curious children who couldn’t resist popping out to look. The workmanship was exceptional and their commitment never wavered, despite two relentless weeks of rain. Their good humour/ energy never dipped, which really set them apart. As complete novices they offered helpful advice and guidance, their pricing was competitive and a special mention for the unground trampoline- the highlight for the kids!"

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.
