Ranked 1 of 10 in Decking installers in Telford
Best overall decking installer in Telford: established landscaper with the strongest stated paperwork
Active
Trading as ARCOX LANDSCAPING LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire
Arcox Landscaping Ltd in short
Arcox Landscaping Ltd is a Telford landscaper covering hard and soft landscaping, paving, driveways and grounds work, stating establishment in 2005. What sets Arcox apart in this round is paperwork: safety accreditation and Trading Standards approval are stated on its site, its waste carrier registration sits on the issuing register, and the workforce is described as fully insured. A consultation booking route suits bigger garden briefs. Work runs across Telford and Shropshire from the Hortonwood base, spanning commercial and domestic rounds, with tree work beside the landscaping, paving and driveways.
Customer reviews are few but spotless, with five stars on Google across the board. Google is the only public review source on the record, so there is no second set to cross-check against, and the base is small beside some runners-up.
Our verdict: Arcox is our best overall pick for a larger garden project where the deck sits inside wider landscaping, carried by the strongest stated paperwork in the table. That judgement rests on the site and register evidence rather than review volume alone.
What counts against it: decking is not a named service. The limited company dates only to 2020, which is young beside the stated trading history. In our view those gaps matter less for a bigger brief than the documented cover behind the firm. For a deck-only job with no wider landscaping around it, the firms that name the work read stronger.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Arcox suits you if you want an established Telford landscaper for a larger garden brief, with stated safety and trade paperwork behind it [1] [4]. Decking is not a named service. Pricing stops at a booked consultation with no rates shown [1].

Questions about Arcox Landscaping Ltd
Is Arcox Landscaping Ltd any good?
On the evidence, yes for larger garden briefs: Arcox tops our Telford decking table, holds five stars on Google, and carries the round's strongest stated safety and trade paperwork. Decking itself is not a named service and the review base is small, so read the full page first. Book a consultation through the website to test the service yourself.
Is Arcox Landscaping Ltd SMAS accredited?
Safety accreditation and Trading Standards approval are both stated on the firm's own website, and its waste carrier registration appears on the issuing register. The site describes the workforce as fully insured without naming an amount or insurer. Ask for the documents behind each statement and keep copies with your quote.
How much does Arcox Landscaping Ltd charge?
It publishes no rates, free-quote terms or call-out fee, and pricing runs through a booked consultation. VAT registration is stated, so ask whether quotes include it or add it on top. Send your measurements and photos, and ask for the consultation terms in writing. Keep the consultation terms beside the quote for comparison.
Where does Arcox Landscaping Ltd work?
The firm works from Hortonwood in Telford across Telford and Shropshire on commercial and domestic grounds work. Decking is not a named service, so describe your whole garden brief when you enquire. Use the consultation booking route on the website to confirm you are covered. Mention the full garden brief, not just the deck, when you book.
How is Arcox Landscaping Ltd ranked?
It ranks first of the ten decking installers in our September round, our best overall pick for larger garden projects with stated paperwork behind them. Review volume is small beside some runners-up, so read the stars alongside the company record. Read the full review, then book the consultation. The position reflects the whole scorecard, not the stars alone.
How do I get a quote from Arcox Landscaping Ltd?
Book a consultation through the website, which is the firm's stated route for larger garden briefs, and send your measurements and photos of the garden with the booking. VAT registration is stated, so ask whether the quote includes it or adds it on top. Since no rates or free-quote terms are published, get the consultation terms and the fixed quote in writing before work starts.
What do customers say about Arcox Landscaping Ltd?
The public record is a single five-star Google set, with no second platform to set beside it. That makes the score spotless but narrow, and the small base sits well below the largest sets in this round. Read the reviews for garden-wide jobs like yours rather than deck-only ones, since decking is not a named service. Treat the paperwork behind the firm as the other half of the picture.
How does Arcox Landscaping Ltd compare with the other decking installers in this round?
It leads the table on paperwork rather than review depth: no rival matches the stated safety accreditation, Trading Standards approval, waste carrier registration and described insurance in one file. The trade-off is a small single-platform review base and no named decking service. Where the deck sits inside a bigger garden brief, that trade favours Arcox; where the job is deck-only, the firms that name the work compare better.
