Highlights
“From the outset it was clear that we were in top notch hands. Discussions at the site visit showed that Tommy understood the brief thoroughly, so the quote covered all aspects of the build in sensible detail. The whole team worked their socks off and we were kept in the loop with Tommy’s daily updates. What a lovely bunch! Tidy, courteous, knowledgable and a pleasure to have around. It was obvious that the whole team were passionate about their work and this showed in the exemplary fit and finish with a tidy site left at the end of every working day. In one word - “Brilliant!””

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.
