If you enjoy having your time wasted, then I can highly recommend HCL. An unfortunate example of a small business being run badly.

We have used Sam and the team for complete redesigns of the gardens at our current and previous home. From the design, through to the build, planting and ongoing maintenance we have found them all to be a real pleasure to work with. HCL find a way to bring originality, pragmatism and high quality workmanship together to deliver an end product that hits all the buttons - including budget. Thoroughly recommend.
