Highlights
“Received a message within an hour of posting. Following a few more messages, Dan said he would be there the next day! The advert I posted was on a Sunday so to not only have a reply but to come the following day (I was honestly expecting a week or 2) was fantastic. Was kept informed of an ETA and Dan done a fantastic job on cutting the grass. Very nice man and highly recommended.”
“T was a job well done. I will recommend Daniel to many who needs him for the job. I am fully satisfied with the job he did for me. Moreover, he was very friendly. Good communication skills.”

A very mixed experience. Dan did some of agreed work then didn't come back the next day to complete or get in touch to say when he would. I was pleased that Dan cleared brambles. However hedge was not cut to a professional standard, I suggest if you use Dan being very specific in your instruction. We had days booked in, Dan dis not show on 2nd day due to a problem with his van, however this was quickly fixed and he did not show again nor communicate re next date.

Dan came and within 1.5 hours cleared all the weeds from my driveway front garden, and back garden. Dan was polite, cheerful, and did a great job.

Unfortunately, Dan did not arrive for the scheduled appointment and didn’t communicate in advance. After I reached out, he mentioned an emergency had occurred, which I understand can happen unexpectedly. However, there was no prior notice or apology for the delay or inconvenience caused, which I found disappointing. Clearer communication and a simple apology would have made a big difference.
Lawn maintenance
Did precisely as asked! Would go to for future jobs as well.
Verified by Checkatrade
Dan arrived on time and set to work right away; even though it was the first grass cut of the season , so the grass was very long, Dan did an excellent job, edges strimmed and grass cuttings removed; I couldn’t be more pleased.

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.
