“M and R did a fantastic job. We hadn't been able to look after our garden since August. The perimeter of the property, the grass, paths, trees, hedges and pond were all overgrown and full of weeds. The guys worked hard, they were thorough, reliable and professional. They worked for a week. Cleared everything away and washed everything down. It looks amazing, can't thank them enough as it means I can now walk in my garden. I will definitely using them again and would highly recommend them.”

Highlights
“We are really pleased with the garden and how Mark & Ross involved us with decisions they thought would/wouldn’t work, explaining about the grass and how to look after it. Watching them concentrate on laying slabs and edging I was confident they were giving my little job as much attention as they would a larger more expensive one. My neighbour has commented on a job professionally done. The guys worked non stop and got the job done in 3 days. We are so very pleased, thank you both, will be recommending to anyone who mentions to us they want garden work doing :-)”

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.
