Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
Border Gardening has been looking after our garden for about 5 years. They are very reliable and leave our garden neat and tidy each visit. They will cut back bushes as and when they need it without being asked. We have always been extremely satisfied with any additional work they have done on request.

Ben provides a first rate service. Honest and reliable.
Border Gardening has been doing my lawns for the last 6 years. I hope to continue with their services which I find very reasonable, reliable, trustworthy and... Am more than satisfied.
I recently had my flags power blasted and my garden fence painted by Border Gardening. What a fantastic quick and efficient job. I recommended Border Gardening to my mother who also just had some work done which involved more of a tidy up. We will continue to use Border gardening on a regular basis and I would recommend them to anyone :-).

I needed my garden tidying up and jet washing and had Border Gardening round to do it. I was very impressed by the way they worked and the results they achieved. I would recommend them highly to others.
We have used Border gardening and home maintenance for a number of jobs over the last couple of years. Ben is friendly, reliable and and his work is of a high standard, particularly the maintenance of our large garden. Highly recommended. Ged B. Dukinfield.
Border Gardening has been doing my lawns/borders for the past 3 years on a fortnightly basis. They do a great job, can be relied upon and even weed the flowerbeds/borders for no extra charge! (saomething other companies wanted extra for when I was looking for quotes).
I have a fortnightly arrangement with Border Gardening. I have been a customer for over 12 months. I have found our gardener Ben, to be consistent and reliable. Ben advises when trees require trimming back if they have grown to close to the property. He always let you know he intends to cut trees back before doing so. Really pleased with the quality of service and very reasonably priced. Would recommend!
Ben has been doing my garden for the last few years and I'm very pleased with his work. Prompt efficient friendly service.
I have used Border Gardening a number of times now and have always been very impressed with the attention to detail of Ben's work. I have found Ben to be friendly and polite and has an extensive knowledge of plants and gardens. I would have no doubt at all in recommending him to anyone.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
