Arcox Landscaping Ltd review

Ranked 1 of 10 in Drainage and groundwork contractors in Telford

Best overall drainage and groundwork contractor in Telford: Commercial-scale landscaper with its own plant fleet

Active

Trading as ARCOX LANDSCAPING LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

Arcox Landscaping Ltd in short

Arcox Landscaping is a Telford landscaping contractor working from Hortonwood on domestic gardens and commercial contracts, presenting its own plant fleet. The website states SMAS accreditation, Trading Standards approval, VAT registration and full insurance, with a waste carrier listing traced to its company number, which is the fullest paperwork on show in this round.

Customers rate the firm at the top of the scale, with five stars across a mid-thirties set of Google reviews. The limited company was formed in twenty twenty, and quotes run through a bookable consultation. Our review finds a commercial setup rather than a one-van outfit.

What counts against it is thin pricing paperwork: no rates or VAT position published, and insurance stated without detail. Our judgement: the stated schemes and the five-star record carry Arcox Landscaping for larger briefs, where plant, paperwork and scale matter more than an instant price.
