SM Landscaping in short

SM Landscaping is a Telford landscaping firm working from Trench on garden design, decking, fencing, driveways, patios and artificial grass for domestic and commercial clients. The site offers free quotes over messaging with photos of your garden, which keeps first contact simple.

Customers rate the firm differently by source: near the top of the scale on Google against a middling Trustpilot set. The limited company dates to twenty twenty-one, and no qualification schemes appear on the registers, the website or the platforms checked. Our review finds SM Landscaping a garden-first firm.

What counts against it is the split record and thin paperwork, with no insurance details and no rates published. Our judgement: the larger Google set tells the fuller story next to the smaller Trustpilot one, and the firm suits a brief that mixes planting with hard surfaces.
