Best for: design-led makeovers with free quotes

Active

Trading as S M LANDSCAPING (2021) LIMITED · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

SM Landscaping in short

SM Landscaping is a Telford design-and-build firm covering garden design, fencing, driveways and artificial grass, with a free quote over messaging and project photos on a clear site. Customers rate it 4.8 from 45 Google reviews, consistent results across dozens of jobs. A smaller Trustpilot set sits alongside the Google record.

The company file is active at the same Telford address since 2021, though a many-successful-years line on the site gives no firmer history. No insurance detail or rates are published, and no trade scheme membership can be sourced from the site. SM Landscaping suits you if you want a design-led makeover with a fast quote route and a solid review base. The missing insurance detail stands out against an otherwise well-evidenced profile.

The firm designs and builds from its Telford base across Telford and Shropshire, covering garden design, fencing, driveways and lawn finishes with aftercare advice on the site. Quotes come free, including over messaging with photos of the plot, which keeps small makeovers moving fast.

Customers rate it 4.8 from 45 Google reviews, consistent results across dozens of jobs and one of the deeper records here. A smaller Trustpilot set sits lower, and no insurance detail or rates are published — the messaging quote is where both get settled, so use it to close the insurance question first.

Strengths

  • We rate the customer record a strength because 4.8 from 45 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, shows consistent results across dozens of jobs [2]. The company's own site adds installation photos and a clear quote route [1].

  • Companies House shows S M Landscaping (2021) Limited active at the same Telford address since May 2021 [3]. The site covers design through to aftercare advice, so you can see what a finished job includes [1].

Limitations

  • No insurance details are published, which we scored as insufficient evidence rather than a failing [1].

  • The 'many successful years' wording gives no firm trading history beyond the 2021 incorporation, and no rates are published [1][3].

Questions about SM Landscaping

Is SM Landscaping any good?

On the evidence, yes for design-and-build makeovers: consistent results across dozens of Google jobs plus installation photos and a fast messaging quote route [1][2]. A smaller Trustpilot set sits lower, so read both. Read the full review, then send photos for a free quote.

Is SM Landscaping registered with any trade scheme?

No trade scheme membership can be sourced: the site claims professionally trained staff but names no scheme, qualification or register entry [1]. No mandatory registration applies to this work. Ask for training details and insurance together, and get both in writing before work starts.

What does SM Landscaping charge?

It offers a free quote, including over messaging with photos, and describes quotes as competitive — but no rates, fees or VAT position are published [1]. Send the full project scope with measurements and photos. Confirm what the price covers, including waste and aftercare, before you agree anything.

Where does SM Landscaping work?

The firm works across Telford and Shropshire from its Telford base, covering garden design, fencing, driveways and artificial grass [1]. The company file sits at the same Telford address [3]. Send your postcode with the project scope to confirm you are covered.

How is SM Landscaping ranked?

It ranks sixth of the ten gardeners in our September round, picked for design-led makeovers with free quotes. Its Google record is among the deepest here, with Trustpilot alongside. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised fixed quote.

How do I get a quote from SM Landscaping?

Send the full project scope with measurements and photos through its website or messaging quote route [1]. Ask for an itemised fixed quote that names waste handling and aftercare, since no rates are published. Photos of the plot get you the fastest answer, and the written quote is where the insurance question gets settled too.

What do customers say about SM Landscaping?

Customers rate it 4.8 from 45 Google reviews, consistent results across dozens of jobs [2]. Installation photos on its own site sit behind the score, showing finished makeovers rather than promises [1]. A smaller Trustpilot set sits lower, so read both records before deciding — the gap between them is worth understanding.

How does SM Landscaping compare with the others in the round?

It ranks sixth of the ten gardeners, picked for design-led makeovers with free quotes. Its Google record is among the deepest here, though the missing insurance detail stands out against an otherwise well-evidenced profile.
