Got three vetted landscapers to quote in Colchester through BestBuilders. Picked on the strength of an immaculate site setup at their previous job. Soakaway crate buried under the lawn for SuDS compliance. Final invoice ยฃ11114 over 10 days. CCTV drain check before the dig.

Two years on, the pergola has weathered beautifully. Landscaper we found via BestBuilders in Colchester persuaded us into a slightly larger patio than we asked for - much more useful in practice. Total ยฃ12944. Genuinely no part of it I would change.
