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.

Highlights
“Tried for a few years to get work done at the front of my house, the old garden was unsightly and a few feet higher than the pavement making access difficult. This also meant there was a lot of prep work to be done before a driveway could be put in, which turned a few away from the job. Finally found a contractor willing to take it on. Peter and his team did a great job, kept me informed throughout, advised on some of the decisions that had to be made and I could not be happier with the end result. A great looking driveway and a dropped curb to get onto it. On time and within budget. A+”

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