I found the company pleasant to deal with, reliable and professional and did a good job at a reasonable price. Just as they were 10 years ago when I used them before.

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.

Mark and his trusty mate John carried out all the extensive work carefully and in a professional manner. Always good to see them both again, been coming here for a number of years now. As usual, tidied up after as well.
Excellent work, as always and most efficiently undertaken. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and am unable to speak highly enough of him and his colleagues.

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