Highlights
"S M laid our new patio at short notice with minimal disruption. Very friendly workers who worked very hard to complete the job in less than two days. Finished patio exceeded our expectations. This is the second time we have used S M and have no hesitation in recommending them."
"Seans team came to block pave our driveway ( 4 cars) and put up some concrete fence posts and gravel boards in the garden. They arrived on a friday morning worked hard all day and completed the work Saturday afternoon. The work was completed to a good finish and the workers tidied as they went and made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving i would recommend them."
"This is the third job Sean has done for me now. He did the block paving to the driveway and as with the previous jobs him and the guys did the work quickly, efficiently and to a high standard. Thanks again!"

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.
