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. The firm works from Hollybush Road across Telford and Shropshire, putting landscaping, groundworks and building services into a single brief.
Customer reviews are perfect but few, with five stars on Google across ten ratings. It is the smallest Google set in the table, and the only review source on the record. The perfect score reads well, but ten ratings leave plenty unseen. Every one of them sits on Google, with no second source behind it.
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. Few firms here bundle groundworks and planting into one brief, which is the comparison that favours MSR.
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. A deck-only brief has stronger addresses elsewhere in the table. The redesign brief is where MSR earns its place.
Our verdict
Our judgement: MSR suits you if you want a family-run Telford firm for a garden redesign with groundworks in the same brief, quoted free [1]. The Google set is small at 10 reviews and decking is not a named service [3] [1]. Insurance and pricing detail are unpublished [1].

Questions about MSR Building and Landscaping
Is MSR Building and Landscaping any good?
On the evidence, yes for garden redesigns with groundworks: MSR is a family-run Telford firm with a perfect if small Google record and a free quote route. Decking is not a named service and paperwork is unpublished, so match the brief first. Ask for a free quote on your job list.
Is MSR Building and Landscaping a member of a trade scheme?
Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. The firm describes its experience rather than any scheme membership. Ask what accreditation, insurance and references sit behind the quote, and get each answer in writing. File the references with the quote, with names and dates on each one.
How much does MSR Building and Landscaping charge?
It publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT position, though a free quote route by phone, email and form is stated. That means your quote does the talking: send measurements and photos of the garden. Ask for labour, materials and VAT priced separately. Get the fixed total and the payment stages set down too.
Where does MSR Building and Landscaping work?
The firm works from Hollybush Road across Telford and Shropshire on landscaping, groundworks and building services. Garden redesigns with groundworks in the same brief are its core work. Send your postcode with the job list to confirm you are covered. Describe the redesign, not just the deck, when you enquire.
How is MSR Building and Landscaping ranked?
It ranks eighth of the ten decking installers in our September round, the family-run pick for redesigns rather than deck-only briefs. The small review set is the gap behind higher firms. Read the full review, then ask for the free quote. The position reflects the whole scorecard, not the stars alone.
How do I get a quote from MSR Building and Landscaping?
Use the free quote route by phone, email or the form on the website, and send measurements and photos of the garden with the job list. Since no rates are published, the quote does the talking: ask for labour, materials and VAT priced separately. Describe the whole redesign so the groundworks are priced with the garden.
What do customers say about MSR Building and Landscaping?
Customers give the firm five stars on Google, its only review platform, naming patios, sleeper walls and full garden transformations. That theme fits the garden-redesign brief better than any deck-only job. Read the reviews for redesigns like yours, since ten ratings leave plenty unseen. Treat the perfect score as promising but thin.
How does MSR Building and Landscaping compare with the other decking installers in this round?
It sits eighth as the family-run pick for redesigns: no rival in the round bundles groundworks, planting and building services into one brief quite like this. The trade-off is the smallest review set in the table and no named decking service. For garden-wide redesigns that trade favours MSR; for deck-only jobs the firms that name the work compare better.
