Highlights
"Excellent service delivered by a very friendly and professional team. They did a fantastic job, despite the awful weather leaving the garden transformed and very tidy. I can definitely recommend Richard and Anne to anybody looking for quality and affordable service"
"Quite a large rear garden and front that had become out of control over the summer. Initially had to put back a day due to rain but appreciated the update first thing in the morning so I could adjust my plans. Then I didn’t think they had time to complete the works but with 3 people they more than surpassed my expectations. They gave advice on what to remove/leave and gave the garden a complete going over in just over a day, something that would have taken me weeks. All waste was removed and the garden left in great shape."
"Richard & Nigel arrived in good time and worked efficiently on the labour intensive project. On the return visit, Richard arrived with Anne who, again, worked without a break. A friendly efficient service at a reasonable cost."

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.
