Having already used R&J Garden Landscapes before, I knew my garden was in safe hands. A very reasonable quote given to remove old paving slabs and create a much larger patio with new raised flower beds. Several options of paving slabs to choose from along with what sizes and colours would work well, together with photos of past jobs to help me visualise how my new patio would look. Despite awful weather, the guys carried on regardless. You will not be disappointed to hire R&J Garden Landscapes; their years of experience shines through creating the very best for their customers.

Rod, Josh and Dan completed a large landscaping job for us, which included garden clearance, patio and turf laying, sleeper work for raised beds, cleaning and restoration of an existing patio, block paving, replacing a gate and other soft and hard landscaping work. The work they did was excellent and the final results fantastic. They were very friendly and professional, flexible giving good technical advice and ideas. Time keeping and communication was always good. The whole experience, was positive, progress was always good despite some inclement weather and for us stress free.

Worth checking yourself
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.
