Highlights
"The real gardeners have done the maintenance of my garden now for a significant number of years, their standards are extremely high and a lot of people comment on how well my lawns have been mown or my hedges cut. They pride themselves on the quality of the service they provide and often go above and beyond what I would expect. I would highly recommend them to anybody."
"I was delighted with the work completed by Peter who lifted and relocated a number of shrubs in our front garden. The work was completed on the date and time agreed and the area concerned left tidy of any waste. I’m pleased to confirm that I have now agreed with Peter a regular package of garden maintenance."
"Peter has provided a regular and flexible gardening service of a very high quality for us over the last ten years. As a result we have no hesitation in recommending him. He has a very good knowledge of horticulture and has helped us with interesting ideas for the development and landscaping of our garden."

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.
