I can highly recommend them." > Source: Martyn (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "Tom and his team did an absolutely fantastic job replacing our old patio. It was a challenging job due to access constraints, uneven ground and a few curve balls along the way. The level of professionalism and genuine pride in getting the best possible outcome was clear from the outset and maintained throughout the work. The level of finishing was exquisite which is testament to their attention to detail and craftmanship. The area is completely transformed and better than we could have imagined. We will be getting Oakland back for other jobs in the future and cannot recommend them highly enough. Brilliant landscapers, great communication throughout ... and lovely chaps too." > Source: Andrew (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "Really pleased with Tom and his Dad’s work. Not a straightforward job, but they did it well, a nice straight and level fence. Would definitely recommend." > Source: Mike (5.0, via TrustATrader) ## Trades Landscaper, Decking installer, Fencing Contractors, Gardener ## See their work _Portfolio and gallery links this business publishes.

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: 07307 238695 - Website: https://www.oaklandfls.co.uk/ --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/oakland-fencing-landscape-specialists-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
