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. - 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: 07426 903754 - Website: https://msskinnerfencing.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/ms-skinner-fencing-patios-driveways Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
