What customers say.

4.7 from 17 Google reviews

“Jack & his team worked with us to firm up a clear scope of work for a difficult driveway and parking area project from our initial plans. The work was done to a high standard and we found him very easy to work with when any issues arose.

We hired his team again for a refurbishment of our compost area and the construction of an access path about 18 months later and we had the same good experience.

We have no hesitation recommending him for garden and driveway projects.”

Gordon Dallas, Google review, January 2021
“Jack, ably assisted by Darrell, did an excellent job making a patio and steps in my awkwardly sloping garden. They also levelled and turfed a scruffy raised border. Very professional, hard-working, punctual and helpful. Highly recommended.”
Gillian Swinburn, Google review, October 2023
“Jack and Darrell cleared our garden and relaid the patio, paths and gave us gravel with stepping stones. They made raised beds which are lovely. It is now easy to manage and looks good. We are very pleased with the work. They are a good team. They arrived promptly every morning and worked hard all day. They are neat and clean and we will ask them to sort out our front garden when we are ready. They are very polite and helpful.”
Candida Rom, Google review, January 2022
“Jack and his crew are extremely professional and always keep you informed . I am very satisfied with the excellent work they completed for our new driveway and always feel so grateful when they have been to do the garden leaving it tidy and well maintained. I can highly recommend them if you are looking for a reliable friendly service . A big thank you Jack and to the lovely team that supports your excellent business. . Grateful to have found you”
IkIGAI Therapy, Google review, May 2022
“I needed a gardener for regular maintenance, after some dreamers on price, the usual unreliable newer companies, I was recommended Jack and his team. They are reliable, helpful, efficient, polite, turned up on time and did a thorough job, really happy with it. Two nice lads and they even did a Saturday morning as that was the only time I was free. Can’t recommend them enough.”
Jamie Salmon, Google review, September 2022
