“Had Robert back to add some ballustrade to my decking. It’s always a pleasure to have him over and no job stresses him out. He adapted the decking he’d previously laid to add the ballustrade (I only decided after he’d finished the decking it needed balustrade) perfectly. This company are always friendly, reliable, do a very professional job and won’t rip you off either as their prices are very reasonable. If you want a garden transformation I’d definitely recommend them.”

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
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.
