Best for: company-backed landscaping with strong reviews

SM Landscaping in short
SM Landscaping is a Telford landscaping business behind an active limited company, carrying a broad review base on Google alongside ratings on a second independent site. That company backing plus customer evidence is what carries SM Landscaping into the table. In our judgement it suits anyone who puts a live company record and customer evidence first.
The headline rating sits just under the top mark on Google, with a lower score on Trustpilot behind fewer reviews. What counts against SM Landscaping is checkability: its website meets readers with a bot-check page, so insurance, pricing and the service list sit beyond reach, gaps that keep SM Landscaping tenth.
The Trench base and live company record stand as the solid facts where the website offers none.
Our verdict
Our judgement: SM Landscaping suits you if a live company record and a large review base matter most, with 4.8 from 45 Google reviews behind the name [1] [2]. What counts against it is how little else is checkable: insurance, pricing and the service list sit beyond an unreadable website [2].

Questions about SM Landscaping
Is SM Landscaping any good?
On the evidence, mixed: a live company record and reviews across two independent sites sit behind the name, but the website meets readers with a bot-check page so little else is checkable. Read the full review, then confirm services, cover and price yourself before agreeing anything.
Is SM Landscaping accredited?
No qualifications are on record anywhere we checked, so nothing can be sourced on that front. Its company record is live and its reviews span Google and a second independent site. Ask about insurance and team qualifications, and get the answers in writing before you agree anything.
What does SM Landscaping charge?
The site states free no-obligation quotations but shows no rates, and much of the website could not be read when checked. Call with your garden outline and ask for services, price and cover together. Get the quote in writing. Keep a copy with the scope.
Where does SM Landscaping work?
The firm serves Telford and Shropshire from its Trench base, with the company record and listings behind the name. Send your postcode with the job outline to confirm you are covered. Ask what services are currently offered. Take the company details with you.
How is SM Landscaping ranked?
