How to Pick the Right Landscaper for You … 🫡
Choosing the right tradesman can make all the difference. Some top tips from us to help you!
✅ Are they qualified & experienced?
Check they have the right qualifications, experience and insurance for the work you need. Check companies house, VAT registration.
⭐ Do they have good reviews?
Look beyond the star rating. Read recent reviews, make sure they are legit & see what previous customers say about their workmanship reliability & communication.
📸 Can they show you previous work?
A reputable tradesman should be happy to show examples of similar jobs they’ve completed.
💷 Have you got more than one quote?
Don’t automatically choose the cheapest option. Compare what’s included, materials, timescales & payment terms.
📄 Is everything in writing?
Make sure you have a clear quote or agreement covering the work, cost, start date and what happens if the job changes.
💬 Do you feel comfortable dealing with them?
Good communication matters. If they’re difficult to contact before you’ve even hired them, that’s worth considering.
🚩 Trust your gut.
Pressure to pay upfront, vague quotes, reluctance to provide references or prices that seem too good to be true can all be warning signs.
The right tradesman isn’t necessarily the cheapest one, they’re the one who gives you confidence that the job will be done properly, safely & professionally.
