Landscaper/labourer recommendations gratefully received!

Hi all, I am looking for a really good landscaper/labourer for some garden work. I need someone (possibly a two person team) who has a really good grasp of landscaping basics, but I have a fairly clear idea of what I want and it?s not super fancy or enormous. Just a good eye for detail, heights of brick paving versus turf etc, and also happy to do a bit of light garden clearance, though nothing major? also there?s a problem with drainage re lawn in my garden so someone who is clued up about how best to lay turf with improved drainage etc. I have no side access so it will be quite labour intensive getting gravel etc through the house. I probably don?t need to describe all this, as I?m sure it?s just basic landscaping stuff! But just to be clear I need more than a gardener. Recommendations gratefully received. If you self recommend, I am hoping to get this done quite soon so if you don?t have availability for months, it won?t work this time, thank you!

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.
