Highly recommended
Absolute Gardens replaced an 11m fence with concrete foundations and grade 5 wooden slates to ensure it lasts a long time. Chris was able to slot my job in quickly so I was lucky to get it done quicker than expected, and they stuck to my budget. Chris is friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy, as are his employees, who work incredibly hard to very high standards. I can highly recommend this company.

Garden transformation
From initial meeting with Chris who quoted for our big garden and front drive project with his recommendations on the design and specifications to Pete, Adrian, Jack doing the work over 8 weeks it has been an absolute pleasure to have the guys here. They arrive early every morning and work really hard all day. Nothing was too much trouble. We had small changes during the project and they could not of been more helpful and professional. They tidy up every day and really helped with access for our two dogs. We had top quality fencing around the bottom of the garden They built a custom made pergola with really chunky timber. We had gravel laid in the area, turfing to the lawn where required. We had a beautiful path laid and a complete patio and side passage paved with retaining walls and steps. Bases laid for 2 sheds. In the front drive they fenced both sides laid a gravel driveway new front steps to our front door and it looks amazing. There was a huge amount of prep work needed an old concrete shed removed old fencing removed. Every thing was removed from site, the delivery's of materials were always on time. It has actually transformed our property and I cannot praise them enough. What a fantastic job done. Well done guys. I would 100% recommend this company if you want a really professional job done. Some neighbours have already contacted them for work and im not supprised. Excellent result.

Great Landscaping Company!
I've recently had my garden landscaped by Absolute Gardens and couldn't be happier with the results. From initial consultation with Chris around design and what I was looking for with the project, to Dan and Conor working tirelessly to get the work done, the guys were always professional and punctual, as well as being very friendly and courteous. Our outdoor space has really been transformed and I would have no hesitation in recommending Absolute Gardens to anyone looking to get similar work done.

Professional Work
The job required close boarded fencing to front and rear gardens. 41 metres to the rear and 11 metres to the front. The removal of an established hornbeam hedge and some repair work on a sandstone patio. All this was achieved in a professional manner despite some appalling weather. Any problems were resolved with helpful discussions. The team came up with several recommendations which were welcomed and carried out. We are extremely pleased with all aspects of the end result. We would highly recommend Absolute Gardens and would not hesitate to use them again.

Stepping stones - great job
Having had a great experience from Absolute in the past for our patio and fence, we got them back to lay some stepping stones up the garden. They arrived on time, were polite, were meticulous in laying everything straight, cleaned up and took away the rubbish. Couldn't ask for much more.

Driveway
Peter and Jack from Absolute Gardens came to lift my existing tegula block paved driveway which had been installed some 25 plus years ago. I had the blocks lifted and a new base put down and my exisiting blocks replaced. They put in a new boundary edge to one side of my property which now looks so smart along with the whole driveway. They were punctual every day, neat and tidy and fastidious workers. They worked really hard on my very large driveway and I cannot fault them at all. They are father and son, two really nice guys who were so polite and courteous and very helpful. (They even brought my bins in after the refuse collections). I cannot recommend highly enough. If I need work in the future I will certainly get in touch with the company again.

Beautiful terrace
Absolute Garden built a terrace with planters and trellises at our ground floor flat. The craftsmanship was a high quality, the work completed to time and within budget and nothing was too much trouble for Pete. He consulted us at every step, was always considerate to other residents and was punctual and efficient. An excellent job.

Absolute Garden Ltd.
Absolute Gardens recently completed a driveway project for us, and we were completely pleased with the result. We were also massively impressed with the attention to detail. From the outset, Chris’s inspection and quotation were thorough and informative. The timelines he discussed were quite a bit longer than the other quotes we had, but when he went into the details, you could see his process highlighted where other contractors were potentially cutting corners. Chris’s team, especially Dan, were polite, clean, and very respectful at all times. They constantly liaised with us on details of the project and kept us updated with the progress. Overall, the whole project was completed very professionally and to our complete satisfaction.

Garden transformed
Absolute have transformed our garden. They were a pleasure to work with, Chris visiting twice initially to discuss design options and quote, and the subsequent work onsite mainly done by Peter and Charlie. We had eight weeks of work overall, including new fences, retaining walls, two patio areas, a new path, a pergola and a new lawn, and the overall standard of finish is very high. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them.

Built New Brickwork Planters
We had to large planters built from sleepers which had been attacked by wood wasps and contacted Absolute gardens to get them removed and replaced with Brickwork, and also built two low walls around separate borders. Peter and Charlie carried out the work of dismantling the planters, pile the soil in the garden, then carrying all their tools, equipment mixers etc through the garage & kitchen and were very careful not to do any damage in the process as it is quite a restricted access. They arrived on time every day, they worked hard, were polite and tidy, cleaning up any mud etc on the route through the house and were always willing to discuss their progress with us which meant we ended up with exactly what we had wanted. Based on this experience we would thoroughly recommend and would certainly use again if needed.

Excellent work as always
Dan & Charlie carried out extensive work in replacing an old fence. They worked extremely hard as there was a lot of groundcover to clear before commencing as well as digging new post holes all along. We and our neighbour are delighted with the outcome and the fence is far more robust than the old one and will last many years.

Such a great overall job on all fronts!
The team at Absolute Gardens were just fantastic. As a first phase of my garden renovation I had a supporting wall constructed around a raised bed. Chris did the initial consultation and was really helpful. Pete and Blake, who made the wall, were absolutely lovely! They were extremely communicative in when they would be around and what they were doing. The job was done brilliantly and quickly and they both went above and beyond with extra help. Chris came around to advise on phase 2 of my garden renovation and was so helpful with thoughts and suggestions, taking the time to explain the "why's and how's". I might have to wait a bit for the work to be done but in my opinion it's definitely well worth it! Overall just a fantastic experience with a wonderful end result.

Driveway
Created a new blocked driveway with brick work to two new beds. Original design had to be changed slightly with full and open communication between both parties. Work was completed ahead of schedule with minor budget changes. The finished work is excellent with a very professional service from all the workers and the company's owner.

Absolutely Great
We have recently used Absolute for a second project as we were so pleased with the work they did for us last year. This time they have built a smaller patio at the bottom of the garden - a perfect "sundowner spot" to match the larger patio they built last year. They also created a small wildlife pond and finally a gravel garden area to match in with our existing front drive after renovation works. The new works blend in perfectly with the old house as we had hoped. Pete, Charlie, Blake and Dan all did an excellent job each playing to their individual skills. A real team! We would heartily recommend Absolute for any landscaping projects.

Excellent Work!
The team at Absolute did a fantastic job landscaping both our front and back gardens. They were incredibly efficient, hard-working, and dependable. They kept us informed at every stage of the project and were very patient and adaptable when we requested changes to the original project scope. Pete and his team were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. It was a pleasure working with them. I would certainly use Absolute for any future projects and have no qualms recommending them.

New fence installed and patio relayed.
We had the team from Absolute Fencing come and remove an old chain link fence and hedge. Then install a new fence. We also had them take up and relay the area of slate paving we have in front of the main entrance and it now much more solid and looks nice as well. They did a really good job the fence looks really good. They removed all the rubbish and where able to accommodate getting the skip moved when a neighbour needed it to be moved for a delivery. Would recommend to others to use them.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
