Detailed reviews
Excellent service from start to finish. The team were professional polite and punctual and kept everything tidy, the quality of the patio workmanship was outstanding and completed on schedule, Highly recommend and very competitive
Sam turned up on time and was very polite. He provided a quote and stuck to it. The work was carried out as planned and he did a great job of clearing up afterwards. He is very conscientious ensuring with the decking he was replacing, that extra supports were added where needed. Finished work looks good and we are very happy with his workmanship and service.
I recently hired Sam for some garden work and driveway repairs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From the moment he arrived, his professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Sam’s work is top-notch. Each task was completed efficiently and with great care. What impressed me the most was his commitment to ensuring everything was perfect Have already booked him for a few more jobs and would not hesitate to recommend.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
