Blackthorn Gardens MMXXII
What customers say
In Cambridge, this gardening and tree care outfit has built a strong reputation for tackling both routine maintenance and larger jobs such as felling and hedge safety work. Recurring feedback describes overgrown gardens being brought back under control, with several accounts mentioning weeds cleared, box hedges trimmed for public safety, and pine and conifer trees felled or reduced near houses without incident. Clients repeatedly note prompt quotations followed by quick booking, and work being completed within the timeframe promised. Richard, Matthew and Jack are named by different customers as reliable, friendly and hardworking, often going beyond the agreed scope, such as mowing lawns or clearing extra rubbish at no additional cost. A point that comes up often is the tidiness left behind, with debris and logs stacked neatly or removed entirely once a job finishes. Turfing, fencing and full garden clearances also feature, alongside precise laurel and box hedge trimming for privacy and access. Photographs of completed work are sometimes shared with clients managing multiple properties, reflecting a service used for both one-off renovations and ongoing upkeep. Operating hours run into the evening on weekdays, which several customers have found convenient for arranging visits and quotes around other commitments in the city.

Matthew is friendly, professional and very reasonably price. He was very helpful when I recently needed my garden tidying, removing rubble and rubbish and repairing my fence. He tidied my garden and left everything looking lovely and ready for spring 😊 I would definitely recommend Blackthorn Gardens for all of your garden needs. 5 star service!
Used them to put in a fence, and to clear a totally overgrown garden, and replace really poor grass with bew turf. Very easy to deal with , gave me a very clear quote, and did exactly what they said they would do. Very punctual - everything done on time. I'd thoroughly recommend them.
Mat turned up in person do our quote unlike some other companies we contacted. Broke the job down into three separate quotes making everything very clear. The guys were on time, efficient and very precise. Even decided to hold off turfing the garden till a later date due to the weather conditions during the heatwave and this meant they had to make an additional trip to us this month at no extra cost to us! Great company! Great people!
Brilliant job well done, trimming very large Laurel hedges, and another long hedge the length of my garden. Very professional, friendly, hard working, honest and totally reliable. Very well priced and Matthew very kindly did a few extra jobs for me, including taking garden rubbish I had accumulated before they came for no extra charge. Left the garden looking completely neat and tidy. Extremely pleased with the result and would recommend them 100% and will certainly use them again.
Fantastic work from these guys. They barely stopped for 2 days and when done with the hedges (early on second day) they offered to mow the lawn and tidy the garden too for no additional cost. Absolutely spot on work and would 100% recommend! ✌️
A thoroughly professional service. Two huge conifer hedges were trimmed, height reduced, and sides neatened up. Matthew and Jack worked all day and were friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend this company.
Richard, Matt and Conor are a friendly, flexible and hard-working team who have worked on our large garden for a couple of months now, maintaining it and preparing it ready for the Spring, pruning, weeding and leaf clearing and doing other Winter jobs. They will also in due course, be mowing and edging on a weekly basis. It’s helpful that they can take away the garden waste too.
