What customers say
Reliability and a strong eye for detail stand out across the feedback for Handyherberts garden services, based near Grendon on the edge of Northampton. Customers describe returning to the company repeatedly for hedge trimming, fencing repairs, garden tidy-ups and turfing, often booking further work after being pleased with an earlier job. Darren is named consistently as carrying out the work himself, arriving on time or early and keeping in touch by email to confirm quotes before starting. Several accounts mention that all cuttings and trimmings were gathered up and removed by the end of the visit, leaving gardens neat once the job is finished. Specific projects described include trimming laurel and conifer hedges, repairing loose guttering, clearing an overgrown garden of grass and weeds that had built up over a couple of years, and laying new turf chosen to suit the customer's needs. One reviewer noted that a new fence was fitted quickly and left sturdy, with the surrounding area cleared as part of the same visit. Prices are described by more than one customer as reasonable, and the overall approach is seen as friendly and genuine rather than purely transactional. The business operates seven days a week from half past seven in the morning, covering a broad range of everyday garden maintenance and small building tasks around Northampton.

This is the first time we’ve used Handy Herbert’s, Darren did an excellent job on our laurel hedge, we’ll definitely use him again.
We’ve used Handy Herbert for a number of gardening tasks and have always been super impressed and had them back. They returfed today and were really communicative and friendly throughout, picked turf that suited our needs and worked so hard on the day. It was completely stress free and I’m having them back again soon. They are the first people I think of when I need something done and would recommend to anyone.
1st time using this company. Couldn't be happier, really responsive, booked in 2 days after my initial enquiry and very pleased with work done. Will be using again.
Quick response and great service. 100% recommend
Fantastic service, Had Darren and his team out to cut back some hedges, repair some fence posts and give the garden a much needed tidy up and the results where incredible. they where polite, professional and achieved results! would recommend to anyone and i will be having them back to relay my patio and sort out some more fencing.
Very reliable. Darren arrived on arranged time and date to assess and provide an estimate for the hedge trimming. Good communication via email to confirm quotation. With regard to the work undertaken, arrived on time. Very neat and tidy with all cuttings/trimmings swept up and taken away Overall in summary. Very good experience with HandyHerberts Garden Services. Job neat and tidy
Darren was trimming my neighbour's conifers and I asked if he could quote for a couple of jobs for me not only did he quote but carried out the work when he finished cutting the conifers back on my side of the fence, would highly recommend, friendly genuine guy and very reasonable prices will be using again.
