Highlights
“Shane has done an absolutely amazing job on our driveway. From the initial contact, he was responsive, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. When we encountered an issue along the way with the footings for our stairs, he was able to suggest a solution without charging a bomb to make amendments and was happy to amend those plans alongside my final vision for the driveway and we were able to incorporate a raised flowerbed which is going to look great. His team worked non-stop all day every day and were very professional and polite. I’m absolutely delighted that I chose Shane and his team to do our driveway and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
“We are very impressed with Shane’s landscaping company. They laid our driveway and paths with block paving and replaced our fence. All the work was carried out to a high standard with great attention to detail. We were consulted all the way through the job and Shane was very well organised with the logistics, such as delivery of materials, etc. The team were polite, puntual, hard working and left the site tidy at the end of each day. We totally recommend this company - don’t hesitate to use them.”
“Had a new driveway installed as well as my garden landscaped, Sl group also installed a garden room for us. We are so happy with the service they provided and the quality of the workmanship. We highly recommend this company to anybody who are looking at having any work done. 5 star all around from us.”

Absolutely delighted with the transformation of my garden. Was very nervous about going in blind but I checked the reviews and everyone seemed happy!!! The boys were punctual, tidy and excellent workers. They never asked for anything up front and did exactly what I wanted and suggested other solutions. My garden was a bombsite after having a New septic Tank and drainage installed and now it looks amazing. I can’t wait for next Summer to use my new pergola! Id designed the pergola myself And gave Shane a drawing of that and my garden design and it’s now exactly what I wanted. Cannot recommend this company enough.

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.
