MSR Building and Landscaping in short
MSR Building and Landscaping is a family-run Telford builder covering landscaping, groundworks, extensions and renovations, with a free-quote route on its site [1] [3]. You get garden and building work from the same small firm, which claims over fifteen years of experience, and the site offers phone, email and social contact routes [1]. The limited company record is active since 2023 [2]. It works from Hollybush Road in Telford across Telford and Shropshire, offering landscaping, groundworks, extensions and renovations with phone, email and social contact routes [1].
Customers give it top marks across ten Google reviews [3]. The quote route is clear and the company record is there to check [1] [2]. What counts against MSR Building and Landscaping in our judgement is fit for this ranking: the site presents landscaping and extensions rather than garden rooms, and no insurance details are published [1].
The customer evidence is perfect but tiny: Google shows top marks across ten reviews, a friendly signal that says little about garden rooms specifically, which the site barely shows [1] [3]. No other platform record is held.
In our judgement MSR suits a homeowner who wants garden and building work from a single small firm with a friendly quote route. Readers who want a dedicated room designer with named ranges and showrooms should look past it.
Our verdict
Our judgement: MSR suits you if you want a small Telford firm for garden and building work together, with a run of 10 Google reviews at 5 out of 5 behind it [1] [3]. The active company record since 2023 and the clear quote route count in its favour. What counts against it for this ranking is focus and paperwork: no garden rooms are shown and no insurance details are published.

Questions about MSR Building and Landscaping
Is MSR Building and Landscaping any good?
On the evidence, yes for combined garden and building work: it is a family-run Telford firm with top marks across ten Google reviews and a clear free-quote route [1] [3]. Its site shows little that is specifically a garden room, and it publishes no insurance details. Send photos of the space and ask for an itemised quote.
Is MSR Building and Landscaping registered with a trade scheme?
No. Industry qualifications can't be sourced for MSR Building and Landscaping from the registers, its website or the platforms checked [1]. Ask who would certify any electrical work on the job and check that scheme number yourself on the register. For a combined garden-and-building job, the building and wiring credentials matter more than any room brochure.
What does MSR Building and Landscaping charge?
It offers a free quote through the site but states no prices, rates or VAT position [1]. That means the quote does the talking: describe the full job and ask for labour, materials and VAT shown apart. Confirm the payment stages before work starts. Ask for the garden works and the building works priced apart so you can see where the money goes.
Where does MSR Building and Landscaping work?
The firm works across Telford and Shropshire from its Telford base [1]. Send your postcode with the job description and photos of the space to confirm you are covered, then ask for a written quote with dates, stages and warranty terms included. Its Telford base keeps travel short across the borough, which helps when the job spans garden and house.
How is MSR Building and Landscaping ranked?
It ranks third of the eight garden room builders in our September round, the pick for landscaping plus extensions from one family firm. It sits below the specialists on garden-room detail, so read the full review and its sources before you shortlist. It earns its place on combined-project fit rather than on room specialism.
What do customers say about MSR Building and Landscaping?
Google shows top marks across ten reviews, a clean but small record with no other platform held [3]. That says the firm is liked, not that it builds many garden rooms. Read the reviews for mentions of groundworks and extensions, which are closer to what the site actually shows. Treat the ten reviews as a character reference for the firm, not as proof of room-building volume.
How does MSR Building and Landscaping compare with the others in this round?
It sits third of the eight as the combined-project pick, above the purer designers on breadth of trade. It trails them on room-specific detail, named ranges and review depth. In our judgement it suits the bigger garden job, not the buyer who wants a room specialist. Breadth is its argument; specialism is what it gives away.
