“Chris and the team at Balfour came in to fit a new drain down the side of our house and re-lay a couple of slabs in our garden. Their quote was fair and well explained, they arrived when promised and conducted the works exactly as discussed. There was an issue on the day, out of their control, and they happily came another day to finish up. The drain has made an amazing difference to our house and has been well tested with the recent inclement weather. They will certainly be our first call for any future works.”

Highlights
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Balfour. Their work 3 years ago was exemplary. With the piece of work just completed they have continued to live up to that standard. Carried out clearing and hard landscaping of front garden and block paving drive, installation of new soak away and other drainage, rebuild boundary wall, creation of lawn, border and gate. Materials and methods they use are excellent, they pay attention to detail, the team is extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Very consultative and flexible, responding positively to any changes required.”
“We’re delighted with the work Chris and his team have done for us. The process of designing the garden was really enjoyable and we felt like our ideas had been thoroughly explored. When it came to the build Paul and Dylan were lovely to have around and made a special effort to entertain our little ones!”

Worth checking yourself
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.
