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.

Official checkOn the public register
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 12 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
Jo and her team are amazing. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. A complete update of our garden was done, including extensive ground works for two patios, custom built pergola, fence panels painted, rework of current plants plus additional plants for larger borders, complete re turf. At all times everything was kept clean and tidy. Great recommendations for an electrician for outside electrics and Penkridge Woodcraft for bespoke builds. Amazing all round.
Unequivocably I would recommend them. They were wonderful. Professional and friendly. They constantly checked with me if everything was ok. All along they were so good.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
