## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Extremely professional from initial visit to carrying out the work. Very mindful, efficient, carried out excellent work and garden looking tidy. Would definitely recommend"
> — Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "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."

## 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.
