Highlights
"We had Top Choice do quite a big project in our back garden which involved removing the old decking, grass and slabs, levelling off the garden and replacing with new composite decking, artificial grass and porcelain tiles as well as sorting out the drainage. We're delighted with the work that they carried out, it was all finished to a very high standard. Would recommend."
"Great work completed by Nathan, Jamie and team in my rear garden. Lifted a large collapsed patio area and re-set it in concrete and is now looking amazing! Also the gardening team arrived and did a brilliant clearance of overgrown shrubs and trees so my garden is looking like new. Good bunch of guys who worked hard and I'm a very happy customer :)"
"Replaced old patio and retaining wall. Garden now has a new lease of life. Work was carried out professionally after a discussion as to what we wanted and also some excellent suggestions by Jamie and Nathan. The team were always polite and took all the rubbish from the work with them. We would highly recommend them for any landscaping or gardening work."

Smart checks
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.
