Our verdict

Our judgement: the stated range and history suit built garden features, but the review score and thin paper trail mean extra checks are warranted. Before booking, read the Google reviews in full, ask for recent local references, the insurance limit and the waste carrier number.

Strengths

  • The site names walls, design, fencing, turf, ponds, lighting, artificial grass and paving [1]. It states the firm has served Shropshire since 2007 [1].

  • Name, phone and Telford area agree across the site and the Google listing [1][4]. The firm is reachable on a single long-held number [1][4].

Limitations

  • The 3.8 rating across 6 Google reviews is the second-weakest customer evidence in this round, so read the individual reviews before you call [4].
