“We’ve had several jobs completed by Matt from Franklin Groundworks and have been consistently impressed with the quality of his work and his professional approach. He rebuilt and stained a poorly installed fence, re-grouted our large multi-level patio with real care and attention, and repaired cracked render despite difficult weather, even staying late to maintain progress. Matt is reliable, communicative and takes pride in his craft. We already have further projects booked and would happily recommend him.”

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.
