Highlights
"Smp contractors have done excellent work for us, laying paving, repairing and replacing fencing as well as installing a gate and a concrete base. They were quick to respond and completed the work to a high standard. They even did an extra job for me at no cost. Lovely guys, highly recommend hiring them if you want to get work done without fuss."
"Had my driveway extended last week - from quoting to completion was problem free and the end result was amazing - so pleased with it. All the workers are so polite and work hard through all weathers to complete the job on time. Would definitely recommend and use them again."
"Sean at SMP Contractors was very helpful and completed the works required quickly and efficiently. I would recommend SMP if anyone has any groundworks to be completed."

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.
