Very prompt, very professional. This fence was my 3rd job with MaxiHandy and due to come back in a few months for another job. Very reasonable and always cleans up like they had never been there. They have totally transformed my gardens from what they once were. See you soon Nick." > Source: Helen Thompson (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "I have been let down so many times by various companies and right from the start Nick messaged me, turned up at the right time and commenced work on the date that he said he would. He and his work colleague have done a brilliant job and the results are beyond my expectations. They have worked so hard and are so professional, my garden, which had lots of components to it, paving, hedging, astro turf, pebbles etc was not simple and it looks sensational. My sister and a friend are so impressed they are going to use Nick for their gardens. He was also so helpful accommodating my budget to do what is an amazing job. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him. Its refreshing to get someone who is professional and is an expert in what they do for a competitive price. He is worth every penny. As soon as I have the funds I will engage Nick to sort out my garden at the back of the house." > Source: Teresa Callaghan-Sheppard (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "I cannot commend Nick and Marcus's work highly enough. From start to finish, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism. Their initial communication was prompt, clear, and concise, outlining the budget, timescale, and project progression with transparency. I had to request a few changes to various aspects of the job, which they accommodated with patience and courtesy. They worked tirelessly, with minimal breaks, transforming an overgrown space into a clear and well-prepared blank canvas. The fence they installed was crafted with meticulous attention to detail, achieving a level of quality that reflected their commitment to perfection. I am looking forward to working with them on phase two of the project, and I would highly recommend their services without hesitation." > Source: Katherine (5.0, via TrustATrader) ## Trades Builder ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Artificial Grass - Aviaries - Brickwork in the Garden - Composite Decking - Decking - Garden Design - Garden Structures - Golf / Bowls Greens - Grounds Maintenance - Hard Landscaping - Irrigation Systems - Landscape Contractor ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done. - Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced. - Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07367 008961 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/maxihandy Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
