Default Choosing companies to do garden work

Hello all

We need various things doing in our garden that we simply don't have
time to do. We need a new lawn laying, some fencing and decking done, a
pond building and a shed moving.

Gardening companies in Yellow pages seem to provide some of the services
but not others and we don't really know where to start, we just want to
find someone who can do it all.

Is there a specific category in Yellow Pages we should be looking for or
does anyone know of companies that can provide this sort of thing. We're
in Stockport.

Thanks
D


This isn't an answer to your question, but in case you are not already aware
of this, there have been a number of TV programs over the years such as Rogue
Traders demonstrating how just picking a firm out of the Yellow Pages
according to their self-description and claimed skills may result in very
seriously botched jobs, being ripped off, and worse. Any cowboy can put an ad
in the YP, and many do. My suggestion: a personal recommendation is the only
way to be safe.
