Highlights
“Excellent no-fuss tradesmen. Gave good advice, worked hard throughout the two days and did the job brilliantly. Really chuffed with the end result!”
“Dan and team are skilled, reliable landscapers who efficiently transformed and split our garden from one of tiredness and neglect into two superb garden spaces. One area required clearance by way of hard hedge cutting and removal of general waste, with quality fencing service to create a space now secure for our dogs. Second area involved an exceptional patio design and build, with a fencing design and construction plus relaying of the lawn to leave us with a garden to enjoy. All work carried out in a neat professional manner. We're extremely pleased and would use their services again.”

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.
