## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Martin had already did a small paving job for us before doing this job. I was very pleased with the finish so wanted him to do our driveway. Due to unforeseen circumstances he couldn't do the job immediately so we waited it out and stuck with him as the quote was very reasonable and he was genuine. I cannot commend him highly enough. Very down to earth, professional and did the job on his own. Explained the whole process as he went along. He had to get a team to remove the existing drive and this was done very efficiently and done in a few hours. I was amazed how quickly the removal was done as it was a decent sized drive. The laying of the drive was done diligently and efficiently and in good time. There was a small concrete ledge adjoining a part of the drive that had better days and Martin replaced this with kerb stones after removing the concrete and the finish was excellent. people passing by have been saying how nice the drive looks. I'm really pleased and highly commend Martin."

> Source: Kay (5.0, via TrustATrader)

> "Martin was punctual polite and trustworthy and kept us informed at each stage of the job which was professionally competed as agreed and in a timely fashion. Would certainly not hesitate to recommend him to others"

## What this business says about itself
_Self-declared on the trader's own website, not independently verified:_
- Insurance: public liability insurance

## Before you hire a landscaper
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
- 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.
