MSR Building and Landscaping in short
MSR Building and Landscaping is a Telford family-run firm covering landscaping, groundworks, extensions and roofing, claiming more than fifteen years of experience. The site offers a free quote and carries detailed client feedback on garden and renovation jobs. The limited company record starts in 2023, so the formal history is short. MSR reads as a household-scale builder-landscaper, in our opinion.
The record shows a household-scale builder-landscaper: garden works, groundworks, concreting, drainage and foundations plus extensions and roofing from one Telford firm. The patch covers Telford and Shropshire for garden, groundworks and extension jobs. That breadth suits households who want one firm for the garden and the building work beside it, in our view.
Customer reviews are spotless so far: five out of five from ten Google ratings. That is a strong start rather than a deep record, in our view. What counts against it is the quiet paperwork: no insurance detail, prices, VAT terms or named accreditations are published. Our review finds a promising family firm with transparency gaps to close. Transparency on cover and prices would lift it further, in our judgement.
Across the held sources, customers are warm but few: a perfect Google headline across an early set of ratings, echoed by detailed feedback quoted on the firm's own site. That is a strong start rather than a deep record. What would strengthen it now is checkable paperwork and more reviews at volume, in our view.
Our verdict
Our judgement: MSR suits you if you want a family-run firm for garden, groundworks or extension work in Telford, with 5 out of 5 across ten Google reviews [1] [3]. What counts against it is the absence of insurance, pricing and accreditation detail on the site. The company record starts in 2023, so the limited-company history is short [2].

Questions about MSR Building and Landscaping
Is MSR Building and Landscaping any good?
Early signs are good for garden and extension work: five out of five from ten Google reviews and detailed client feedback on the site. The limited company dates only from 2023 and no accreditations are named. Read the full review, then ask for a written quote. Ask for recent garden examples near you.
Is MSR registered with a trade scheme?
No. Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. That is recorded as a gap, not a failing. Ask what training or scheme paperwork it can show and get the answer in writing. Firms of this size often train on the job, so ask what that training covers.
How much does MSR charge?
It offers a free quote but publishes no rates or VAT terms. Send photos and measurements and ask for an itemised fixed quote covering labour, materials and waste removal. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Ask for recent garden examples. Ask how extras such as drainage runs are priced.
Where does MSR work?
The firm works from Telford across Telford and Shropshire, covering garden, groundworks and extension jobs for households. Village lanes and suburban estates both sit inside a normal patch. Send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered. Ask about current lead times. Ask about current lead times for garden jobs.
How is MSR ranked?
It ranks sixth of the ten groundworkers in our September round, picked for garden and groundworks from a family firm. The review record lifts it above older firms with weaker feedback, though the company is young. Read the full review, then compare quotes. Youth against reviews is the trade-off in a sentence.
What do customers say about MSR?
Warm but early: a perfect Google headline across ten ratings, echoed by detailed feedback quoted on the firm's own site. That is a strong start rather than a deep record. Read the garden-job feedback closely, then weigh it against the young company file and the missing paperwork. Treat site-quoted feedback as a starting point only.
How do I get a quote from MSR?
Call, email or request the free quote through the website. Send photos and measurements and ask for an itemised fixed quote covering labour, materials and waste removal. Confirm what the price covers, including VAT, and ask for recent garden examples before you agree anything. Photos and measurements speed up the reply.
How does MSR compare with the others in the round?
It sits sixth, lifted above older firms by a spotless early review record despite the young company file. The missing paperwork is the trade-off. Read the full review, then compare its quote against an older firm with deeper customer evidence. The missing paperwork is what holds it back for the moment.
