Complete Peace Of Mind

When you have work done on your outdoor space, it isn’t only the products that you use that need to be of a high standard – but the workmen you trust with completing the job.

When you invest in your home or garden, you choose the best materials you can afford (within budget) to bring your dreams to life. Having made all this effort to select the look and finish you want, isn’t it vital that the people you choose to complete work for you should be of an equally high standard? Untrustworthy ‘cowboy’ workmen are a reality within our industry and can cause significant stress, by making promises they can’t keep and delivering substandard, disappointing work.

Furthermore, issues with a decking installation may not present themselves for weeks or even months, by which time the cowboy has disappeared into the sunset with your hard earned cash.

Briarlea are proud to be members of the Marshalls Register of Accredited Landscape Contractors and Driveway Installers which is a list of professional and certified workmen who are continuously  vetted and monitored to assure you of our competence and high standards of workmanship.

The high level of workmanship required means all those on the Register must prove themselves in terms of their costs, the guarantees they offer on work completed and their professional methods.
