Highlights
"We’ve just used Arron and his team for the 3rd time at this property, but they’ve also done work for my parents, and for us at our previous property. We’ve primarily had patios, lawns, fencing and a pond installed, all of which have been done to an extremely high standard. Arron and his team work exceptionally hard, are precise, clean and tidy, have lots of knowledge and experience to be able to provide useful advice and support, are competitively priced, and a pleasure to have around. We’d never look to use anyone else and we recommend them whenever anyone’s asking about landscape gardeners."
"We have used Arron and his team previously and again they have come up to our expectations Excellent results Fully recommend them for their politeness professionalism and quality of work Thankyou all"
"Arron and his lovely team did an absolutely super job on our front garden. We are so pleased with all their hard work. They got on with the job, with quick progress. No mess at the end, very tidy work. Would thoroughly recommend them."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
