“Fantastic renovation from Petru and his team. They demolished our existing front garden efficiently and in a very small time frame. The entire project was completed in a matter of days and to the upmost quality. There was minimal disruption and mess and they always cleaned up properly after themselves. The entire team was extremely polite and hard working and very attentive to your design and building preferences. The standard and finish is exceptional! They have also completed other building projects for friends and family and are highly reliable, reasonable and respected. Excellent work!”

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 19 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Worth checking yourself
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.
