“Thrilled with the work carried out by Kieran! Installed some new decking in my garden which completely transformed the look of it. Super friendly, reliable, and knows what he is doing. Listened to what I wanted and made it better than I imagined. Will definitely be using Grassroots again.”

Highlights
“Kieran was clearly passionate and full of ideas and input right from our first meeting. He’s a true grafter in every sense of the word, the range of skills he has are impressive, he’s a natural. His attention to detail was great, his communication fantastic, his understanding of what we wanted was really important and he nailed it. We can’t believe it’s the same garden. I’d recommend Grassroots in a heartbeat. Service second to none.”
“We had three quotes for the landscaping of our rear garden and Grassroots were without a doubt the right choice. From the first meeting with Kieron it was evident he was very professional and cared passionately about his work, this shows in the quality of the finished product. Our requirements were quite demanding and we made a few changes along the way which Kieron took in his stride. I would not hesitate in recommending Grassroots and if I need further work to be carried out I know where to go. First class service!”

Worth checking yourself
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.
