Detailed reviews
John and his team extended our existing block paved drive. Results exceeded my expectations, job was done like clockwork. We felt in safe hands throughout the whole process, would highly recommend. Thanks guys
Couldn't be happier with the transformation of my garden from SOS Garden Services. John and his team did an exceptional job of putting in a new patio area and new fencing. Will be looking to have them back again to tackle the front garden and drive, would recommend their services to everyone whose looking to improve their garden.
SOS garden services were recommended to us by a neighbour & they didn't disappoint. Every aspect, from communication to carry out the cutting down of our hedge to completion was faultless. We have now asked them to quote on another job.
John and his team have done an amazing job of turning our very tired,drab patio into smart,stylish space,from initial consultation and throughout the works the guys were punctual,professional and very considerate of the neighbour's,would highly recommend and have booked them for phase 2 Thanks guys!
John and his team totally transformed my garden and I couldn’t be any happier with the work they carried out. They were extremely polite, punctual, tidy, and very helpful with helping us create our vision of our dream garden. We had a patio, fence and raised beds and it looks amazing. Would recommend to all.

Very friendly, polite, hard working staff that put up our new garden steps in just one day. Very pleased with the result and would definitely use this company again. They worked really well and really hard on one of the hottest days of the year.
I do not recommend this company I had an awful experience. The tradesman came to my home, rushed the work and then walked out leaving the work unfinished. They refused to return, refund, or put things right as promised in writing. Despite sending in all my evidence, they ignored me and blocked me. I entered mediation through this website thinking it would resolve the issues, but please be aware, mediation only works if both parties agree. If there is no agreement, there is nothing further they can do. Please be cautious when hiring this company.
Reply from the business
We were surprised and disappointed to receive this review, as we always strive to maintain the highest standards on every project. This particular job was carried out by two of our highly experienced, fully qualified team members, and the workmanship met our usual professional standards. The project was neither rushed nor left incomplete and there were no concerns raised during the project. In fact, the customer settled the full balance on the day of completion without hesitation and even requested quotes for future projects, which we took as a sign of their satisfaction at the time. To anyone considering our services, we encourage you to review our profile, explore our project photos, and read the many positive reviews from satisfied clients. We remain committed to delivering quality work and excellent customer service on every job.
John and his 2 colleagues, did an amazing job, very polite, punctual, tidy, the finished job looks fantastic, myself and hubby are soo pleased with the finished product. Plus they completed work during a heat wave. Would definitely recommend to others.
My star rating says it all
Would highly recommend SOS Garden services. John & Mike provided a great service, they arrived on time, were very polite and completed the job efficiently and to a high standard. Very pleased with our new fencing to the back of the property, the driveway and new gate
Nice guys. Did an excellent job on our fence. Highly recommend
Absolutely thrilled with the new fence installed by John from SOS Gardening Services. From the very first point of contact, he was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to listen to my needs, provided helpful suggestions, and gave a clear, competitive quote. The installation process was seamless—John and his team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and the quality of the work is outstanding. The fence is not only sturdy and well-built but looks fantastic, too! What really stood out was his attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the end result and would highly recommend SOS Gardening Services to anyone in need of fencing services. Exceptional service at a great price.
Great work, excellent service.
We needed block paving leading to a side gate and underneath an EV charger. John provided a competitive quote, and arrived on time on the day, carrying out the work over two days. John and Mike were polite, friendly and efficient, and the quality of the finished product is excellent. I would highly recommend SOS Garden Services to anyone needing landscaping or related garden work.
Very good service. Very quick, efficient and great communication

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
