“Clinton took on my project and made it a reality. He was reliable, trustworthy , dedicated and easy to discuss ideas with. Clinton went above and beyond when re-housing my fish and terrapin at his own place while the pond was being done ! I would recommend Clinton to anyone without skipping a beat. Thank you Clinton ! Annie”

Highlights
“Clinton had a good appreciation of the work involved. He carried out the work on time and to a competitive price, in a friendly manner. However, I found that he needed assistance on the setting out of the new overall levels, which I had to provide for him, as well as needing design input on a number of other smaller issues. All of his work was largely levelled “by eye” rather than using the simple basic equipment and methods that would have achieved the smoother surface to the lawn that we originally envisaged before we started.”
Detailed reviews
Clinton responded to my email enquiry quickly and courteously. His quote was competitive and his communication good. He reclaimed some lovely, small, weathered stones, ideal for the pond surround and appeared to have skill in cutting these to fit. However, unfortunately, he decided to cement them directly onto the soil without ground preparation i.E digging a trench and/or laying a sub base. The stones were not secure and the cement did not set so the job will require re-doing. Clinton agreed to redo the job however did not inspire confidence that the second time would be more successful.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
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.
