Highlights
"The person who came to do the quote was knowledgeable and thorough the workers on the day did everything that was required. A reputable company"
"Lots to be done in the garden this year with major cutting back and pruning of 6 trees but they also went above and beyond tidying up other shrubs that needed doing that they'd noticed as they went around. Then everything was totally cleared up including masses of fallen leaves that were there when they first came. Definitely will be using them 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.
