Highlights
“Ross and the team replaced our tired and messy driveway with a lovely new resin bound driveway. They also carried our other supporting adjustments such as replacing steps and removing raised brick flowerbeds. We are very happy with the standard of work and the team were great the whole way through. Kept us informed, very polite and helped get kids / dogs in and out the house whilst work was ongoing.”

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.
