"They arrived to quote for the work exactly when they said they would and gave me a very fair price and a date to start the work. They arrived on time every day. The work was finished on time at the price they gave me to a very high standard and we were very satisfied 100% with the finished Job and would highly recommend this company for the work they carried out which was extensive ground works Re-laying of Indian sand stone paving areas which was a poor job from a previous builder."

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.
