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.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 4 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Both Kieran and Nathan worked with us closely from start to finish, were adaptable to changes in our plan and a few unexpected surprises that nobody could have foreseen. In the end, they delivered a top-rate block paved driveway, bike shed and planters and completely transformed the front of our home. Their work gathers continual impressed comments from our friends, neighbours and anyone who happens to walk by.”
“Kieran and Nathan turned up at the time and date arranged, kept us fully advised and Just cracked on and got the work done. Somewhat complicated by 2 sets of steps meaning all of the materials needed to be transferred by hand. Nothing fazed them and I now have a shed base to build upon and fill!!”

Your own checks
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.
