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.

Highlights
“Extremely professional from initial visit to carrying out the work. Very mindful, efficient, carried out excellent work and garden looking tidy. Would definitely recommend”
“Replacement fencing installed in our garden, part of which was in an awkward location due to the proximity of trees etc. Despite this, the work was done efficiently and to a very high standard. We'd previously used the Ed Gardener to remove invasive bamboo from tthe same site, and this work was also done very thoroughly. Ed and his team are very pleasant to deal with, and are quick to answer any queries we may have. Highly recommended.”

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.
