“What an amazing team.. from meeting Ben who quoted the best price to having Mark and Ryan do the tree cutting, exceeded my expectations! They worked tirelessly and were so courteous the entire day. They were so easy to have around and just got the job done. The conifers were pretty high and thick. Mark And Ryan worked so well together cutting back the trees and did exactly as I asked. The garden was left in a better state than when they had started. The finish was excellent. I have no doubt what so ever in recommending this company and will have them back every year!”

Highlights
“Ben's team is absolutely amazing! They all worked really hard nothing was ever too much trouble, all very kind and polite and completed the work with high standards in just 2 weeks!! My special thanks goes out to Mark that stayed till late a few times making sure that everything was completed and attending every request we've made. Very good price for all the work carried with high standards! They will be back again to do our lawn and I would definitely recommend Ark landscaping!”
“We used Ark Landscaping to install a new deck area and are very pleased with the result. We met Ben initially who discussed the project with us and made helpful suggestions. Mark, who installed it, worked incredibly hard over three, long and very hot days to get the job completed. I am looking forward to using Ben/Mark again in the next phase of our garden refurb and would not hesitate to recommend them.”

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
