Hello Rob, When dealing with any tradesman make sure you get a quote in writing which includes the tradesman's address. A deposit is normally around the 20 - 25 % of the total job. Be careful as there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there, in general if it sounds too good to be true then it is! Best of luck Craig Young Spruce Garden Services Edinburgh & Lothians
