“We couldn't be more happy with the work that Ben and his team did on our garden. We went from a pile of earth, old cement and weeds to a garden we want to live in. The work and attention to detail was great. Ben was always giving us further ideas as well that they were able to implement during the job. Strongly recommend to anyone.”

Highlights
“Ben and his team are terrific. The work they carried out was completed to a high standard. They were extra careful not to damage anything else in the garden and tidied as they went. They all worked hard to get the job done as quickly and as well as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend them.”
Detailed reviews
Having paid Ben £30,000+to carry out an insurance Job, we have now been told there is a 6 month wait, really? When you were agreeing terms you never mentioned this delay.

Worth checking yourself
Their public rating is on the low side. Read the most recent reviews yourself before deciding.
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
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.
