# The English Garden Company Limited The English Garden Company Limited is a landscaper in Hatfield. Rated 4.9/5 from 163 public reviews across 1 review source. This is the MyTrustedTraders public-evidence profile for this trader, with independent reviews, credentials and registry data from named public sources, no ads, and no paid placement. No Trust Score yet: not enough public evidence held to score this business. They state they've been established since 1974, but the earliest independent source we can find is 2005. Worth asking them about the gap. We cross-checked Companies House: this business is officially registered for work that matches the landscaper services it advertises - independent confirmation it's a genuine business set up to do this kind of work, not just a directory entry. ## About We are an award winning, family run garden and tree company.

Trusted Traders - Monday–Saturday: 8:30am–5pm ## Before you hire a landscaper _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - 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. - 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. ## Contact - Phone: 01707 645069 - Website: http://www.englishgardencompany.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/the-english-garden-company-limited Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
