Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Steven has done a great job on our garden. First of all clearing it - done properly not just hack and slash. Then building a new deep bed and patio area to a high standard. Will definitely use again for other garden jobs.”
“Omg what a transformation he did on my garden. We agreed on a very good price. He replaced my decking and turfed the lawn. Kept his number for when I'm ready for the other garden to be done. ????”
“Excellent job of digging up and relaying pebbles on a strip of land between neighbours. Very tidy and reasonable quote. Done in a few hours.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
