MSR Building and Landscaping in short

MSR Building and Landscaping is a family-run Telford firm for garden redesigns with groundworks and building services in the same brief, quoted free by phone, email and form. The firm describes more than fifteen years of experience, and the company record runs since 2023. Customers name patios, sleeper walls and full garden transformations.

Customer reviews are perfect but few, with five stars on Google across ten ratings. Our verdict: MSR suits a garden-wide redesign where groundworks and planting matter as much as any deck. That breadth is the firm's real offer.

What counts against it: decking is not a named service, and no insurance details, rates or VAT position is published. In our view the thin review base matters more than the missing paperwork at this stage.
