“The work in our garden included; 30m2 of Modak patio laying, including digging and removal of hardcore and adding water trays. The work was undertaken at the agreed start date, within the expected time, at the agreed price, and with great suggestions throughout as to the kind of grout and pebbles to get for our garden. The team was from both Gary Ely’s team and SA Martins Landscaping both from Colchester. I cannot rate them highly enough!!! There was a big group that came even on rainy days and went above and beyond, and they always cleared up after themselves, very happy with the work.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Fast, reliable, very hard working and friendly. Fence work was very good. New lawn was okay but prep could have been better, less bumps, grass quality is good with no weeds. Gravel patio was completed quickly and to a satisfactory standard. Ceramic patio prep wasn't really up to requirements but did their best.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public rating is on the low side. Read the most recent reviews yourself before deciding.
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.
