Active incorporated business
The English Garden Company Limited is linked to a Companies House entry. This shows the business registration, not evidence of workmanship or service quality.
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 21 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Disappointed with The English Garden Company
I contacted them through the form on their website. As I didn’t hear from them, I texted. I then texted again to say I would contact Which if I didn’t hear. A week later, and no response. Are they still in business?

Request for an extra job that was perfectly executed.
We requested an extra job to be done in our garden from The English Garden Company with whom we have been for 5 years. Adam was sent to do the job and he executed it properly. It was a relief to get it done, and Adam did his very best to achieve it.

Excellent gravel work in garden
We recommend The English Garden Company and will use them again. We had part of lawn turned into a flower bed, part into a gravel pathway and part into a gravelled area, all with membrane and lawn edging. In the front decorative gravel and slate replaced bark chippings. The team of five arrived at 9am Saturday, were friendly, polite, and tidied up after themselves finishing the same day. They also identified cause of problems in areas of our lawn as chafer grubs and advised against planting anything in new flower bed until the chafer grubs are eradicated. Our garden looks great after the work done by team, and we will get them to do regular lawn maintenance in future.

Replaced hedge that was dying
Low hedge was dying after severe frost damage. Neil visited to advise on replacement. I wanted something bright and cheerful. Suggested several, and I chose Escalonia 'Glowing Embers'. They weren't happy with the quality of the nursery stock, so suggested Nandina Fire Power. I'm glad that they did as it's perfect for me. Gardeners removed old shrubs and rejuvenated the soil before planting. It looks great. The gardeners were very friendly and clean and tidy. Great communication with office, and all done on time and to budget. Highly recommended.

Another Job Well Done
We’ve been using English Garden Company for a few years now and have always been happy with the service – from the initial phone call to completion. The teams have tackled a mixture of work for us including cutting and pruning a very out of control pyracantha; cutting back a much overgrown laurel screen; reducing the level of some of our trees and shrubs; and removing of a rather large conifer. They work in a professional and methodical way and, very importantly, leave the garden clean and tidy.

Planting and pond clearance
The work involved some planting to hide a broken concrete upstand and clearing our pond which was choked with plants. Neil came quickly to discuss our needs and was helpful in suggesting alternative plants when we werent keen on the first suggestions. The work was done well and everything was left clean and tidy. I would be happy to use the company again.

Amazing work!
We needed to have a mature beech tree cut down and removed because it was too close to the rear wall of our house. There was a problem with access, as we have side alley or direct through-way to the street except via the house. Neil and his team did an amazing job. They took down the tree and removed every last trace of it within two hours, and they left everything so clean and tidy behind themselves we could hardly believe it. In addition to that, the members of the team were friendly, approachable and considerate throughout. Really, we don't have words - except for amazing!

Great Garden Autumn/Winter preparation
Having not had time during the year to keep the garden under control, the team did a great job tidying the shrubs and clearing the borders. The garden looked so much wider, with the side path now visible and a whole lot tidier. The team of two did an amazing job. One of their team had not come in that day but they came back two days later to finish off. The were very professional and cleared everything away and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Delighted with my new fence
Just a brief note to express my delight with my new fence! The workmanship is excellent, the team that completed the job were most professional and the price very competitive. The job was performed exactly as per the quotation. I would have no hesitation in recommending The English Garden Company Ltd.

Very professional tree felling/stump grinding
We contacted the English Garden Company (also operate as the English Tree Company) about a tree that was at risk of coming down following the recent storms. We received a quote and were booked in very promptly and a team arrived on a Saturday morning to complete the work. The work was done very quickly and to a high standard. They were very conscientious and tried to avoid making any mess where they had to pass through our utility room and checked with us to make sure we were happy with the completed work before filling in the hole the stump had been in. In addition to the work we'd hired them for, they noticed that a fence panel that had fallen down needed to be put back in place and did this as well which was greatly appreciated. Would happily use the English Garden Company again.

Trusted professionals
Have used The English Garden company several times eg work tree surgery. Yesterday they did a major garden pruning for us and the garden looks still great but twice the size with all the stuff gone that didn’t add any value. the two gardeners worked solidly for 8 hours easily, but were extremely pleasant and tidied up beautifully after they finished. Cannot recommend highly enough. They are very popular in the local area and rightly so. And they are not as expensive as you might imagine in fact I think they are very reasonably priced and good value. Before doing the work they came to discuss my needs, wrote up a plan and then did exactly what was agreed. Delighted 😀

A pleasure to deal with. The whole team is friendly, always courteous and professional. The work was carried out to a high standard and the whole area left spotless. You do get what you pay for. I wouldn't hesitate to work with the English Garden Company again. If quality and experience are important to you, give them a call!

Clean and efficient removal of tree from front garden
The English Garden Company quoted a reasonable price to remove a tall tree from our front garden which had been causing us concern due to its size. The team arrived on time, were efficient in cutting down the tree in stages . They did not cause any damage to surrounding plants or fences and paving. they were very personable and cleared up all the branches, trunk sawdust etc and took them away. The job was neat and was done quickly. I recommend this company.

I highly recommend The English Garden Company: from Keirsa in the office who was extremely friendly and helpful, to Paul who came out to quote, gave excellent advice and then carried out the work to the highest standard. I am so pleased with the results of my garden makeover and I now intend to use the company to redesign my front garden later in the year. Thank you to everyone at the English Garden Company for carrying out an efficient and professional job.

Exceptionally professional organisation.
All dealings were very pleasant and professional: my initial telephone call and later telephone and e-mail contacts with Kiersa Cunningham and Jean Colbourne in the office; the inspection visit & quote from Neil Fletcher; and dealings on the day with Paul and Roo. Paul and Roo, arrived promptly and were very considerate as regards causing the minimum of disturbance in regard to parking, access and loading. My initial request, on which the quotation was based, was for the removal of four branches. After they had swiftly and efficiently removed three of the relevant branches they asked to speak to me. They pointed out that, whilst totally willing to proceed with the removal of the fourth branch, if I insisted on this, they would both strongly advise against it, both for the good of the tree and for my own longer term aims, as removal of the fourth branch would unbalance the appearance of the tree and lead more swiftly to the decay of a fifth branch, which I wanted to preserve. After a pleasant and, on their part, clearly well-informed discussion, I was convinced to follow their advice. I was impressed that they put the long-term good of the tree, and my ultimate aims, ahead of small, short-term financial considerations. They then proceeded to remove everything carefully and efficiently, leaving the area neat and tidy. I had gone to this firm because they had done a good job on another tree some ten years ago.

Thank you The English Garden Company
I would highly recommend The English Garden Company. My garden was overhung with neighbouring holly trees and fir trees creating a large canopy of shade in my garden. My fences and back gate were also in a very poor state. I called The EGC and spoke with the very friendly Kiersa who arranged for Neil to visit and assess the trees and for Savin who came to look at the fences and gate. Upon receiving the quotes for the work needed, I contacted Kiersa who arranged the dates for the work to be carried out. I thought that it would take a whole week at least to clear the trees etc let alone taking away the old dilapidated fence and gate and replacing it with the new one. To my absolute delight and amazement, the trees and overhung foliage was cut back and cleared away in half a day. The guys cleared up so well that you wouldn’t have known that they had worked so hard to clear away so much. The same applies to the fencing and new gate. Savin and his team did an amazing job and worked nonstop to get the new fences and gate completed in just one 1day! The whole team were very friendly and knowledgeable and the customer service was just fantastic. Thank you all at The English Garden Company.

Brilliant makeover for my garden
I had no idea really what a makeover for the garden would entail. Now I do. When I contacted the Company they explained options, were friendly, clear and communicated promptly. I had a consultation with Neil who patiently spent time looking carefully round the garden, commenting and advising and listening to me. The proposal that I received accurately mirrored our meeting. I cannot recommend the English Garden Company highly enough. They have transformed what I thought was in fairly decent shape and turned it into a lovely garden front and back. Steven and Alfie were professional, friendly and worked solidly through the day. They cleared up after themselves and left everything neat and tidy when they left.

Total garden renovation
Neil (head gardener) gave me invaluable advice when I started my garden project (get a designer to achieve a very special garden, thank you, Annabelle). Throughout the process, Neil and his admin team (Harriet and Keirsa) were fabulous support. The hard landscapers, Andrew, Martin, Mark, and Vasyl were consummate professionals - Polite, very tidy, friendly and SO hard working. The quality of the work is second to none. And I have a garden that was once derelict and is now a delight. I cannot recommend this company enough and I would suggest achieving your dream garden, chose them!
