Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Tony and the team did an amazing job on my garden project. From start to finish they were easy to work with, super friendly, and really knew what they were doing. The communication was spot on, they turned up when they said they would, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The quality of the work is brilliant — the garden looks completely transformed, even better than I pictured. They were tidy, professional, and clearly take pride in what they do. Honestly can’t recommend Tony and his team enough. If you’re thinking about getting any garden work done, these are the guys to go with!”

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.
