Our verdict

Our judgement: a good fit if you want a well-documented landscaping firm with the round's highest rating at volume [1][2]. The gaps are all closable paperwork and numbers. Before booking, ask for the insurance limit and a written quote, and check how the pre-2020 trading years were structured.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • We rate the review record a strength because 5.0 from 34 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, is the joint-highest rating at real volume in this round [2]. The site's own gallery and dated customer comments back it up [1].

  • The company record is active and the site documents its fleet, team and commercial plus domestic work, which tells you how jobs get done [1][3]. The stated 2005 start gives the longest claimed history in the round [1].

Limitations

  • No insurance details appear anywhere, so safeguards scored as insufficient evidence rather than a failing [1].

  • The 2005 start is a claim only; the limited company itself dates from 2020, and no rates are published [1][3].
