## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "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!!"

> "I'm a garden designer and had the pleasure of working with Surrounding Counties on a new build recently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, skilled landscape contractor. Their enthusiasm and genial approach is matched by their attention to detail and their versatility in solving unforeseen problems. Many thanks Nathan and Kieran. I look forward working with you again someday."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- 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.
