SM Landscaping in short
SM Landscaping is a Telford landscaper putting driveways and patios inside garden design, fencing and turfing, and our review reads it as the makeover pick rather than a paving specialist. Free quotes come through a quick message-and-photos route, with the company record stretching back several years [1] [2]. Gardens first, patios inside them, is the offer.
The record shows driveways and patios inside a full landscaping offer across Telford and Shropshire from Trench, with design, fencing and turfing beside them [1]. Project photos sit on the site beside the message quote route, though no hours or company details appear [1]. It reads as the firm to message with garden photos where the patio is one part of a bigger change. The firm works from Trench with Telford and Shropshire both named on the site [1].
Customer reviews divide by platform: a strong Google set against a weaker Trustpilot one [3] [4]. Our review reads the split as the story: strong on Google, weaker on Trustpilot, with the makeover work appealing either way. Single-platform praise would mislead here, so both sets belong in the decision.
Companies House flags the confirmation statement as overdue, and no insurance details are published [1] [2]. Our review still sees an appealing garden offer for a full makeover, with the filings and cover the lines for the quote to settle.
Our verdict
Our judgement: SM Landscaping suits you if your patio sits inside a wider garden makeover, since landscaping is the firm's core and Google shows 4.8 from 45 reviews [1] [3]. Against that stand a 3.7 Trustpilot set, no published insurance and an overdue filing flag on the company record [2] [4].

Questions about SM Landscaping
Is SM Landscaping any good?
On the evidence, a mixed yes for patios inside garden makeovers: it sits tenth in our table, holds a strong Google set against a weaker Trustpilot one, and offers quick photo quotes [1] [3] [4]. Filings and insurance need confirming. Read both review sets first. The message-and-photos route makes starting easy, with garden photos doing the early talking.
Is SM Landscaping accredited?
Industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked [1] [4]. No scheme membership is on record at all. Weigh the reviews and the garden portfolio instead, and ask for any scheme details in writing before you decide. With nothing claimed anywhere, the reviews and the garden portfolio are what this file stands on.
What does SM Landscaping charge?
It offers a free quote by message but publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT position [1]. Send photos of your garden with the full scope and ask for an itemised fixed price broken into labour, materials and VAT. Confirm what the figure covers first. Photos start every quote here, so send garden pictures with the full job list from the off.
Where does SM Landscaping work?
It works across Telford and Shropshire from Trench, putting driveways and patios inside garden design, fencing and turfing [1]. Send your postcode with garden photos to confirm you are covered first. The message route starts the conversation, so use it early. Trench anchors it, with message-and-photos quotes making distance less of an obstacle.
How is SM Landscaping ranked?
It ranks tenth of the ten patio installers in our September round, the landscaping-led pick for patios inside makeovers. We looked first at what customers say, then qualifications, history and cover. Read the full review, then confirm both in writing. Garden-makeover appeal is what keeps it in the table despite the split reviews behind it.
How do I get a quote from SM Landscaping?
Use the message route on its website with garden photos, the rough size and the full job list, since photos start every quote here [1]. Ask for an itemised fixed price split into labour, materials, VAT, drainage and waste removal. Confirm the figure with the insurance position in writing before you agree anything.
What do customers say about SM Landscaping?
Google reviewers rate it strongly while Trustpilot reviewers mark it weaker, the clearest platform split in the round [3] [4]. Read both sets rather than either alone, with an eye on full-makeover jobs like yours. Ask the firm about the weaker reviews and weigh the answer beside the quote. Full-makeover mentions are the ones to find, since that is the work you would be buying.
How does SM Landscaping compare with the others in the round?
It sits tenth of the ten, behind Pavecraft on review scores across the garden-led half of the table. No rival offers a quicker photo-quote route into a full makeover. Where it gives ground is the Trustpilot set with filings and insurance beside it, the most to settle of any file here.
