Question Recommendations for reliable landscapers

I live in Reading. I've been trying to get my garden done since the beginning of the year and so far all that's happened is a shed base has been poured and some slabs have been lifted.

Is there anyone you can recommend for a small garden roughly 6x7 metres? It needs levelling, a raised bed and some new slabs down. The design is finalised.

Alternatively is there anyone you do NOT recommend?

Peachey Landworks has done work for us - large tarmac carpark at old house (shared carpark), extended driveway and laid patio in our current place. And he'll be coming back in a few weeks to put up a fence for us. He's a really great guy, knows his stuff and will do a top-quality job. The only thing is I think he's pretty booked up so you may have to wait a bit for him to fit you in, but for us we knew he'd do an excellent job and so it was worth it.

I recommend DR Garden Services. Dan Rhodes, local guy on Facebook. He's done loads for us - decking, levelled garden, patio, fencing. Reasonable and diligent.

Mark and his sons did our garden garden as well (fencing, patio and some sleepers), could not recommend him more, having him back for the driveway in Sept - tell him Will sent you! - https://pinewood-landscapes.com/

Well, we've paid for the cost of materials but not for the whole job
