Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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 3 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
Having previously reached out to a bricklayer who told me that he would not be able to match the existing bricks and who then failed to quote for the job I contacted Better Call Paul. Could not be happier with the work completed. They rebuilt the collapsed part of the garden wall to match existing brickwork and removed and disposed of several large overgrown bushes. Afterwards the patio was left cleaner than I have ever seen it. Would have no hesitation in using this company again in the future.
Paul and Mason did an amazing job with installing 2 patios. We are really pleased with the workmanship carried out. Thoroughly recommended.

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.
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.
