Privacy Notice – JH Landscapes
Who we are
At JH Hard Landscaping, we take great care in transforming outdoor spaces with durable, high-quality landscaping solutions, and we apply the same care to protecting your personal data. We specialise in designing and constructing driveways, patios, pathways, and other hard landscaping features. Just as we work hard to ensure every outdoor space is built to last, we also work hard to ensure your personal information remains safe and protected.
We understand that trust is as important in business as it is in craftsmanship. That’s why we’re committed to being transparent about how we collect, use and store your data. Whether you’re reaching out to discuss a new project, request a quote or enquire about our services, you can rest assured that your information is handled with care.
