Highlights
“I had a fantastic experience with Graftin Gardeners! The team was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about their work. They transformed my garden beautifully and paid great attention to detail, leaving everything neat and tidy afterwards. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they made sure I was happy with every step of the process. If you’re looking for reliable gardeners who genuinely care about the results, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using their services again”
“Needed some trees taken down phoned a few local companies felt these were the most helpful with my enquires read their excellent reviews so gave them the work. Adam was really helpful on the phone not at all pushy he gave me a quote which I accepted then booked the job in around my schedule. The workers turned up exactly on time their vans equipment and men all looked excellent. The workers were very polite and very good at their job you wouldn’t even know they had been my place was left spotless. I’m 100% happy to recommend The Grafting Gardeners and will always use them in the future.”

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for GraftinGardeners Ltd, including the highlights above. The 932 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Extensive amount of Ivy needed to be removed. Cadillac came to assess the job and listened to my concerns and agreed to meet the needs i expressed and said he would send a quote for the work. The quote was higher than the one r requested from a different company, but the discussion gave me much more confidence. Cadillac answered more questions and a date was arranged for the work to be done. It was carried out by a team of 3, who were careful, followed their instructions and removed the ivy, shredded it and tidied up the areas in which they had worked. I would recommend this company.
Customer recommends this business
Very knowledgable and great workers
Connor, Zuzanna and Kai were amazing. They arrived in great time, got everything done, gave me some great advice on how to look after the plants, as well as kept everything very tidy. I can't wait to see how things look like in the spring. It took a bit of emailing back and forth to arrange things, but we definitely got a great planting scheme sorted out, and even though it's the winter and things are still a bit small I can tell it's going to be perfect. Some of my neighbours thought the work might be a bit pricey but I think it's worth every penny.

GraftinGardeners did a wonderful job of removing our tree in difficult working conditions, going through narrow stairs and corridors to bring all out the front door. The place was left spotless both inside and in the garden when they finished. Communication on the whole was good, and any queries answered within 24 hours.

Cheerful and hardworking group of 3 men, who cut the tree down, and pruned another, tidying up afterwards. Really happy with their work
Verified by Checkatrade
Grafting Gardeners arrived at time stated, and explained the work to be carried out. Which was what I had requested and was explained in the quote. Work was carried out straight away, and all branches a leaves cut were cleared away.
Verified by Checkatradehappy to recommend Graftin Gardeners
Louise was very helpful when I called to get a quote and she quickly arranged a time and day that suited me. Kai, Scott and Fernando did a great job. They arrived full of energy and transformed my overgrown tree into a manageable size and took the trouble to shape it into a conical delight ! They left the garden neat and tidy. Definitely 10 out of 10 and I would be happy to recommend them.
Verified by Checkatrade
Great service from both the admin and tree surgeon teams. Most notably, they were happy to kindly arrange a return visit to trim back the trees further once I realised the sun wasn’t completely shinning on to the garden after the initial work.

The delightful crew of 3 arrived promptly and were very efficient removing my silver birch tree in my small garden. They were very polite, hardworking and cleared up all the debris from my neighbour's garden too. Amazing job well done, which didn't take as long as I thought it would. Very professional team.

Your own checks
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.
