## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I wanted the whole of my front garden laid to block paving. This would allow me to park my car without problems finding space in the road. I asked DB Groundwork’s for a quote. Danny, the owner, arrived on time and, after measuring the area concerned, explained in detail what he would have to do. He explained the depth that he would have to excavate to and how he would fill in to seat the blocks. He also explained about drainage for the new block paved area. This would need a soak away. I decided to go ahead and I am EXTREMELY pleased with the result. I thoroughly recommend DB Groundwork’s."

> "Dan and the team were asked to remove an existing patio, excavate garden and lay a new one. All work had to come through house as that was only access to rear garden. Absolutely wonderful job and could not be more pleased. Really high standard of work, really tidy, and really great guys. I highly recommend Dan for all landscaping jobs."

> "DB Groundworks were professional and hardworking. From the initial consultation to the final finishes, the work was carried out efficiently and with great care and attention to detail. All aspects of the job were discussed, and any potential issues were thought of beforehand which enabled the whole project to run smoothly. I can't recommend them highly enough. The transformation of my driveway is amazing and I'm so pleased with the finished result. Thank you Dan and Charlie for everything."

## Before you hire a landscaper
_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.
