It has been a very positive experience having them working on the front of the house - new paving slabs and stones. Albert was very knowledgeable, patiently answering our questions, and always very reassuring. Such a pleasure hiring his company to do the job and we are very happy with the end results - definitely we will use him again for similar work in future.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for AP Contractors, including the highlights above. The 88 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
We had failed timber retaining walls . We met Albert and his son James who identified why the walls had failed and advised on options and cost. This job was challenging due to established flower beds, patios and AstroTurf along with previous mistakes with the garden set out. Albert and James are a lovely very professional team who set out a plan of works and communicate every step and deliver on this. Nothing was too much trouble for having to overcome issues while protecting much of the existing garden. It's been a pleasure working with these guys. Thank you both so much for your help.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
