What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

For homeowners facing neglected or overgrown outdoor spaces, Matt Bell Garden Services has become a familiar name across Plymouth. Customers describe how swiftly Matt and his colleague Rhys deal with demanding jobs, whether felling a well established hedge, clearing rampant climbing ivy, or taking out eighteen metres of tall boundary planting and putting up a quality fence in its place. Repeat feedback highlights how speedily and efficiently projects are completed, including one garden rescued from near jungle conditions within a couple of hours.

Tidiness is another theme that recurs often: cuttings, weeds and bramble growth are carted off, paving is brushed down, and membrane covered with stone is laid with care. Reviewers also speak warmly of Matt's horticultural knowledge, shown when he was left to select planting for a bare sleeper bed, and of his courteous, approachable manner. Charges are called reasonable and competitive given the scale of work, while communication before and after each visit draws consistent praise. The team trims holly, overgrown trees and established shrubs, leaving plots that are tidy and simple to maintain.

Excellent work - very happy with the work that Matt did for us cutting back an overgrown Camellia bush and tidying up a Cordyline tree. Everything was cleared away and left tidy afterwards. Great service - friendly and helpful - would definitely recommend Matt for any garden work

I recently moved into a new property and while focusing on the inside I overlooked the fact the garden was on the cusp of becoming a jungle. Matt managed to squeeze me in at short notice and absolutely transformed the place in a couple of hours! Excellent work, no mess and a very friendly guy too! Definitely would recommend! Thanks Matt!

Excellent service. My lawn and garden look fantastic after Matt's visit. Professional, on time, great attention to detail, and they left everything spotless. Highly recommend for lawn mowing and garden care. Will definitely book again

I found Matt very expensive £40 for average size lawn first cut then £35 for each cut afterwards. £300 for weeding that was for 3 hours , two of them doing the weeding, very leisurely which I consider was extortionate If being very generous two working makes it £50 each per hour if not a£100 an hour.and definitely not particularly hard work They were prompt and cheerful

My first time needing help with getting bushes smaller and better looking. Matt has done a good job with them. The holly bush lost a lot of live leaves after the many weeks of rain and thanks to Matt we now have a cute looking, tidy holly 'tree'.

Great service from Matt and Rhys. Very punctual, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Left the garden tidy after a day of trimming overgrown trees and hedges. Very competitively priced.

Matt and Rhys made a fabulous job of our garden. They put down membrane and stones and planted the various shrubs we had bought. My dad is 95 so having a garden that looks good and needs minimal maintenance is just what he needs. The dogs treat it all with respect too! 😀 Thank you both 💐💐💐
