Highlights
“Gareth worked non stop to weed, mow the lawn and tackle some over grown shrubs. The garden now looks fantastic. I am very pleased with his work.”
“Another great job from Gareth! Our neighbour's ivy was growing over into our utility room roof and we needed it removing urgently before it did further damage. Gareth fitted us in promptly (within a week) and trimmed it back over into our neighbour's garden to the satisfaction of all concerned. He took away all waste and did a very neat and tidy no-fuss job. Thanks Gareth for another excellent experience, so glad we know a gardener who knows what they're doing and can be trusted to do things quickly and efficiently.”

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.
