Shropshire Gardener in short
Shropshire Gardener is a small Wellington outfit reached on its listed mobile, with no working website and no company record behind the name. The firm is listed in Wellington and serves the Telford area, reached on that listed mobile [3]. The listing carries the firm's phone number as the only contact route, so every brief starts with a call [3]. What can be checked is its lower-tier waste carrier registration, which sits on the register under the same name and address as its listing. That single matching entry is the whole of its paper trail.
Our verdict is that Shropshire Gardener may suit small garden jobs where the brief is simple and the waste position is already covered, and little else needs verifying. Small, simply specified briefs with their waste position settled need little more than a willing pair of hands and a working number.
Customer reviews are spotless but few, with a five-star Google rating across a handful of reviews [3]. The listing is the only place the firm can be inspected at all, and no second platform holds reviews to set beside them. With no company record and no working website, those reviews stand almost alone as the public evidence.
What counts against it is how little exists beyond the listing: services, prices and insurance cannot be checked online at all. In our judgement that leaves this as one of the thinnest assessments in the round, suited only to small, simply specified jobs.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this may suit small garden jobs where a lower-tier waste registration covers the arisings, but the dead website leaves very little to go on.

Questions about Shropshire Gardener
Is Shropshire Gardener any good?
On the limited evidence, possibly for small jobs: it ranks sixth of the ten Telford landscape gardeners, holds a five-star Google rating across a handful of reviews, and shows a matching waste registration on the register. There is little else to check, so read the full review. Keep the first brief small.
Is Shropshire Gardener registered with a trade scheme?
A lower-tier waste carrier registration is on the issuing register under its name and address [2]. No other trade scheme can be sourced from the registers or the platforms checked [1][2]. If membership matters to you, ask the firm directly and get any claim in writing. Get the reply with its dates before work starts.
What does Shropshire Gardener charge?
No pricing, quote statement or VAT terms are published anywhere checkable [3]. That means your call does the talking: describe the job and ask for a fixed price in writing. Agree the price before any work starts. Ask whether waste removal and VAT sit inside the figure. Get the fixed price confirmed by message.
Where does Shropshire Gardener work and how is it ranked?
The firm is listed in Wellington and serves the Telford area, reached on its listed mobile [3]. Send your postcode when you call to confirm you are covered. Ask for a written quote on the same visit. Mention access, parking and green-waste removal when you describe the job. Note the mobile is the only contact route.
How do I get a quote from Shropshire Gardener?
Call the listed mobile, since no working website exists to brief through [3]. Describe the job with your postcode, access, parking and green-waste removal, and ask for a fixed price in writing on the same call. Agree whether waste removal and VAT sit inside the figure before any work starts.
What do customers say about Shropshire Gardener?
The held evidence is a five-star Google rating across a handful of reviews, which is spotless but among the thinnest sets in the round [3]. With no website and no company record, those reviews are almost the whole public picture. Spotless across a handful of voices is encouraging rather than conclusive. Read each one in full through the listing link.
How does Shropshire Gardener compare with the others in the round?
It ranks sixth of the ten, the first of the thin-trail firms below the well-papered top five. Our verdict is that the matching waste entry is what separates it from the firms below: a small but real check where they have less. For anything beyond a small job, the firms above give you more to inspect.
