Highlights
"The far end of my long garden had become overgrown with ivy, which had grown through the garden shed. Tom and his assistant demolished and disposed of the shed and cut back and disposed of huge amounts of ivy. This required 2 days of manual work in a scorching heatwave. Very happy with all aspects of the job and will be getting in touch with Tom again about further jobs."
"I requested a quote to cut / trim a large area of hedge surrounding my property. Tom of The 1 Property Garden & Maintenance was swift in attending and providing a quote for the work, which I thought was a fair price. Tom came the next day at the time he said he would and just got on with the job in hand until complete. I was very happy with the result and would recommend based on my own experience."
"We were very impressed with Tom’s work and his helpfulness in advising us for future work that maybe required. He has all the equipment needed to complete the tasks required. We have no hesitation in recommending Tom."

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.
