Highlights
"So grateful to Ray and the team for a wonderful job. I underestimated the amount of prep work needed for the job, but they were very considerate, helpful and professional throughout. I am delighted with the end result and would not hesitate to recommend this company."
"I had paving done by R&S in Feb 2026. They are very reliable and work delivered in timely manner. Very professional. Definitely recommend it!"
"Have used this firm before on my daughter’s house to install block paving and they did a great job I engaged them to replace a broken concrete drive and paths with a resin bound finish. Job completed and looks great and they were very professional and considerate when working."

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.
