“Nicholas McCartney, with his deep knowledge and expertise, has enabled me to realise my dream of easy to maintain, colourful, scent-filled garden which is welcoming to wildlife and has enough room for my own small fruit orchard. The work, materials and planting are of the highest standard.”

Highlights
“I am so glad that I went with Alexander John Garden Design and Maintenance. I needed so much doing in my garden that I felt overwhelmed. I now have narrower borders with a paver mowing edge, new lawns and new fencing. The lads that did this were always on time and worked very hard, they were a pleasure to have around for 2 weeks. I would recommend this company and also would recommend that you view their website which is full of wonderful photographs of work that they have completed.”
Detailed reviews
This company quoted and charged £1100 for 4 days work to clear my elderly mother's garden despite doing barely 10 hours and not properly finishing. No reply to comms following. Disappointing seeing as all reviews were 5 star and appeared to understand remit.

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.
