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.

Highlights
“Elite have recently, totally transformed our embarrassment of a back garden, ravaged by moles, to a beautiful space we absolutely love! Dave and Ben worked extremely hard to remove large concrete posts, replace them and the back fence. They layed concrete across the back, to future proof any outdoor build we may want and gave us a lovely bright sitting space that's in the sun all day! They removed the grass slope, made it into two tiers, separated by hard oak sleepers, layed a sturdy meshing to stop the moles returning, an extra layer of scat then put some lovely Spanish Gold gravel down, which twinkles! They went above and beyond by spending time making the fence corners true again, getting rid of layers of fence, dug out unexpectedly large concrete posts. They tied in the oak sleepers with the wall by cladding it, which looks fab. They were prompt, tidy, fast workers who really worked very hard to way surpass what we hoped for! Very reasonably priced, cannot praise them enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Can’t recommend DS Elite enough. The whole team were professional and polite. Always kept me informed and did a fantastic job of my fencing. Highly recommend the team, will be using them again”
“Highly Recommend – Outstanding Team and Excellent Work From the moment they provided the initial quotation, the team at DS Elite gave me complete confidence in their knowledge and professionalism. I originally planned to replace a large decking area, but they recommended a raised solid patio instead, explaining that it would be a more suitable option for the space. I trusted their advice—and I’m so glad I did. Dave, Stuart, and Ben arrived promptly and consistently each day, always ready to get started. They were fantastic communicators, happy to explain their process and always checked in with us whenever a decision needed to be made. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the project. We couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. The workmanship is top-notch, and the finished patio has completely transformed the space. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DS Elite to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and thoughtful tradespeople.”

We really cannot recommend Stuart and his team enough. They are so hard working and they transformed our garden that had been a mess for many years. They were always punctual, incredibly tidy and very knowledgeable of their trade. We would highly recommend them.
Fantastic job! Lovely guys. Always arrived on time and kept site tidy. Have already recommended to several friends.
Seldom will you meet such a professional tradesperson. Excellent service all round and we have already booked him for another large job and recommended him to friends.
Very knowledgable and reliable. Did fencing for us in the garden and really pleased with the work.
Very pleased with the work we had done - totally transformed our front and back garden. All done to a very high standard & reasonable price. Great guys & really good communication throughout to ensure we were happy with the progress. We gave them a rough idea of what we wanted and they suggested various options for us to choose from which was really helpful. We've had so many compliments from neighbours on the finished product & would definitely use them again!

Excellent service from start to finish! Dave, Stuart and the team were professional throughout and always looked for that opportunity to go one step beyond at any given opportunity. The team were professional in their initial assessment of the work that needed doing, and were exceptional throughout our garden rennovation. We’re delighted with the end result! Would highly recommend and will, without doubt, use the team for any future work we need completing.
I was very happy with the restoration of my garden path. The work was exactly as agreed and completed quickly and efficiently. The garden was left tidy and all rubbish cleared. Happy to recommend.

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.
