Had some ivy and hedges tidied up. They did a great job and were really friendly. Very happy with the work done. Only complaint was that the communication side of things was not fantastic.
Never come across such a terrible company. The gardeners aren’t too bad but not great (can tell that these guys aren’t qualified as cutting wrong things at wrong time) BUT worst of all is the woman at the office, Stella. SO incredibly rude. Communication terrible - never knew their arrival time. She was so rude. They severed my mower with hedge cutters, didn’t admit to it & she asked me why they should apologise as we couldn’t prove it was them - only them and my kids in the garden! Now they have left a garden half mowed, cut a shrub in half so huge hole & ripped plants out. Appalling.

Worth checking yourself
Their public rating is on the low side. Read the most recent reviews yourself before deciding.
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.
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.
