Highlights
“First off, our garden was in a right mess, it hadn’t really been touched for a couple of years so it was heavily overgrown! I felt comfortable as Phil said he’d seen worse (whether it was true or not I don’t know 😂) Communication with Phil was via text and call only due to me working which was a challenge for them in itself. But overall, they managed to do a great job. There were some issues due to neighbours fencing and an unremovable tree stump so it wasn’t quite as we had planned. But they managed to work around the challenges and pull off a lovely landscape with a patio and astro!”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Old Town, including the highlights above. The 6 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
I have already reviewed this business but feel I need to do an update for anyone that’s looking to get artificial grass from them. Unfortunately, undergrowth sprouted through the artificial grass within a few months of the work being carried out. For this reason, I have had to update my previous review as we will need to have the work redone properly so it is dug down properly. I do have to say, the hard landscape seems to be doing well though. Just a shame about the weeds growing back through so soon.

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.
