SM Landscaping in short

SM Landscaping is a Telford design-and-build landscaper covering design through turfing, planting, fencing and driveways, with a free quote route over WhatsApp and installation photos on the site. Its Google review record runs to 4.8 from 45 reviews, showing consistent results across dozens of jobs.

Companies House shows an active Telford company behind the name, and the WhatsApp quote route keeps things moving fast. A second review source tempers the picture: Trustpilot records 3.7 from 9 reviews mentioning missed quotes and unfinished remedial work.

What counts against SM Landscaping is that split record plus a missing insurance statement, which says nothing about quality on its own. Our judgement: a good match for a design-led makeover if you read both review sets first and close the insurance gap by message.

Our verdict

Our judgement: a good match if you want a design-and-build landscaper in Telford with a solid Google base and a fast quote route [1] [2]. The Trustpilot page tells a harsher story at lower volume. The missing insurance detail is easy to close by message.
