SM Landscaping in short

SM Landscaping is a Trench-based landscaper for garden-wide briefs, naming decking and fencing inside garden design, driveways, patios and artificial grass. Quotes come free including by WhatsApp with photos, which keeps first contact fast. The company record runs since 2021.

Customer reviews lean on Google: 4.8 from 45 ratings naming patio and garden transformations, with a weaker Trustpilot set beside it. Our verdict: SM suits one landscaper for a garden-wide brief with decking in it.

What counts against it: no insurance details are published, and no rates, call-out fee or VAT position appears. In our view the split between the two review sets matters more than the missing paperwork.

Questions about SM Landscaping

Is SM Landscaping any good?

On the evidence, yes for garden-wide briefs with decking in them: SM Landscaping names the work, holds a strong Google record and quotes fast by WhatsApp. Its Trustpilot set trails Google and paperwork is unpublished, so read both sets. Send photos for a free quote.

Is SM Landscaping a member of a trade scheme?

Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked, and the waste carrier register holds no entry for the firm. Ask what accreditation and insurance sit behind the quote. Get each answer in writing before work starts.

How much does SM Landscaping charge?

It publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT position, though a free quote route including WhatsApp with photos is stated. That means your quote does the talking: send measurements and photos of the garden. Ask for labour, materials and VAT priced separately.

Where does SM Landscaping work?

The landscaper works from Trench across Telford and Shropshire on garden design, driveways, patios, artificial grass, fencing and decking. Garden-wide briefs are its core work rather than deck-only jobs. Send your postcode with the job list to confirm you are covered.

How is SM Landscaping ranked?

It ranks tenth of the ten decking installers in our September round, the garden-wide pick with decking actually in the list. The trailing Trustpilot set is the gap behind higher firms. Read the full review, then send your photos with your postcode.
