The people got to work as soon as they arrived and dis an excellent job
good job at a competitive price.
Highly professional company from organising the initial visit to the day of work. They turned up on time and carried out the works exactly as we wanted. They cleared up the work areas and took everything away. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
