Highlights
“Excellent throughout. Malcolm has a wealth of knowledge and guided me excellently on choosing materials, designing and planning an extended concrete base for a log cabin and an adjoining patio. Excellent craftsmanship throughout the project all completed with a smile and a chat.”
“Malcolm and Kevin provided ideas, understood budgetary constraints and implemented our requirements to the letter. They were on site for almost 2 months and they never let us down with failing to attend or making their own decisions - everything was talked through and agreed. And are we delighted with the outcome - absolutely!! Would recommend them without any doubts.”

Worth checking yourself
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.
