## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "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."
> — Jude B (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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 :-)"

> "Ross and Mark at R&M Paving and Groundworks installed an ACO drain in front of our garage to prevent water ingress, and we’re extremely pleased with the result. The work was completed in just 2–3 hours, very reasonably priced, and carried out with real care and attention to detail. They thoughtfully tapered the cut edge of the tarmac so water flows cleanly into the existing drain. Everything was left neat and tidy, and it’s already working perfectly. Professional, efficient and highly recommended."
> — John S (5.0, via Checkatrade)

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
