## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "This is to confirm that Brad Pike has been working for me as a gardener for the last 6 years. I have always found him to be extremely helpful, conscientious, trustworthy and willing to go the extra mile to make sure a job is well done. We are often not here when Brad carries out his work and he has complete access to the premises as we can trust him completely and on our return the garden always looks pristine. Over the years Brad has added enormously to the look of the garden. He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession and is always happy to make suggestions, procure plants etc for us"

> "Bradley has been providing regular garden maintenance and additional garden work for a few months and I am extremely pleased with the quality of the work Bradley provides. He is also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and is working with me on a long term plan to bring the garden up to where I want it to be. Very pleased with the overall service and input."

> "Brad has worked fortnightly since February 2020 and occasionally before that. He has helped me maintain and improve my neglected 180 foot garden. He's pruned apple trees, shaped bushes, planted, weeded, mowed and will shortly work with a colleague to revive a wildlife pond. He's knowledgeable and hard-working and I recommend him highly."

## Before you hire a gardener
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
