Highlights
"Made good a crumbling stone front wall and replaced the wooden fence fitted along the top. Built a gate that fitted and so could be opened and closed."
"Stephen and Pete have done a fantastic job on a new block paved driveway. High quality craftsmanship and an excellent finish. He kept me up to date with progress and when we had issues with the supplier, he kept them accountable to deliver the right result. Highly recommend."
"Stephen gave good cost effective suggestions when quoting. Price split materials (settled directly with suppliers) and labour (paid as job progressed on agreed schedule). Work carried out to high standards with lots of attention to preparation prior to paving. Two small extras that we requested added at small fair cost. Work started when agreed, weather caused some inevitable disruption, with Stephen and Peter frequently working on in poor conditions, when possible. Very good communication throughout so that we knew what was planned."

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.
