Highlights
“Darren was the only tradesman who had the manners to return my elderly mum’s requests for a quote from several called. He promptly visited to view the job and give a quote which I consider good value. The work was scheduled for within a week. On the day Darren & his colleague arrived promptly and worked solidly through to its completion, tidying as they worked. The work was of high quality and both guys were very polite to Mum. Can’t fault them, highly recommended 5*****”

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.
