Common landscaping jobs
Patios and paving
Ask what goes under the slabs, how deep the base will be and how water will drain away.
Driveways and front gardens
In England, government guidance says hard surfacing of more than 5 square metres of a front garden is permitted development "only where the surface in question is rendered permeable". Otherwise you may need planning permission, so check with your council first.

Before replacing a shared fence, check your deeds for who owns the boundary.
How to check a landscaper yourself
GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not check or vet them. Before you hire, do these checks yourself. They take a few minutes.
- Ask for photos of recent work, and if you can, go and see a finished job.
- Get a written quote that lists materials, the depth of the base and a timeline.
- If the landscaper trades as a limited company, look it up on Companies House: check it is active and the name and address match.
- Ask for their public liability insurance certificate and check the dates on it.
- If they say they belong to a trade body, check it on that body's own website, not on the business's.
- Agree stage payments tied to work done, never a large sum up front.
- Companies House: search the register: Free to search. Shows whether a limited company is active, when it was set up and who runs it.
- GOV.UK: planning permission (England and Wales): When you are likely to need planning permission, and how to contact your council.
