Jonny and his friendly team did a great job of building a concrete shed base and a raised paved patio area in our garden. The work was done to a high standard, on time, and for a competitive price. Would definitely recommend his work.

Jonny Ambidge is very good to deal with. Responsive, prompt, helpful and professional. We had our rear terrace extended and a new pergola installed at the bottom of our small garden. It was good to see the care he and his colleague went to. We're very pleased with the result and more than happy to recommend him.
Jonny replaced worn out decking with paving slabs and steps. The job was completed on time and the quality of the work was excellent. Jonny visited the site quickly and discussed options with us. He checked that we were happy with progress each day and left the site very tidy at the end of the build, Would recommend his work ethic and workmanship.

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.
