MK Garden Butler
What customers say
Homeowners returning to overgrown or neglected gardens after moving house feature repeatedly in feedback for this Milton Keynes gardening service, with several describing plots resembling jungles being brought back to a neat, manageable condition. Daren, who runs the service, is named in nearly every review and praised consistently for reliability, punctuality and clear communication, including updates sent via WhatsApp when schedules needed to change. Regular fortnightly visits are mentioned by long-standing clients, some of whom have used the service for four years or more, with mowing, strimming, weeding and general tidying carried out to a consistently high standard. Several reviewers highlight the advice offered alongside the physical work, including guidance on planting, feeding and border maintenance, both outdoors and for indoor plants in one case. Clients describe rates as fair given the amount completed during each scheduled visit, and note that Daren often spots jobs needing attention before being asked. One reviewer mentioned a small scheduling delay ahead of a family gathering, with the finished garden still meeting expectations. The business operates weekdays from morning into early evening, with shorter Saturday hours also available, giving some flexibility for clients wanting visits arranged around their garden's seasonal needs and ongoing upkeep.

Daren is absolutely brilliant. He’s incredibly hardworking, reliable and proactive, and has taken fantastic care of our garden. Not only is he excellent at the day-to-day maintenance such as mowing, tidying, strimming and weeding, but he also takes the time to understand the garden properly. He notices what needs doing before being asked and makes fab suggestions and recommendations about how best to look after our garden. The garden has never looked better and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Reliable, friendly, and impressively tidy. They transformed my overgrown back garden before a family barbecue, leaving everything neat and welcoming. One small delay kept it from five stars, but the result was excellent and I’d happily use them again.
Daren, has been looking after my lawn for the last 4 years and he’s great! Professional and reliable. Would highly recommend his services.
We have had Daren Butler looking after our garden for four years now and recommend him unreservedly. Daren is reliable, experienced, knowledgeable, and utterly trustworthy. He is also a very humble and gentle human being who cares for both nature and humanity Dr Margaret Cook
Daren has been looking after my garden for the past year and his service has always kept to schedule and communicates any change in the schedule. Daren's service is first class and he always leaves my lawn well trimmed and the garden area neat and tidy.
We would be lost without Daren attending our property weekly to help maintain our garden. We are so grateful for the time and effort he takes to look after all aspects of the upkeep of our garden. Daren has helped create a tranquil place for us through large jobs such as planting large beds, creating a planting scheme for us, tree and bush upkeep, lawn mowing, weed maintenance the list is endless. Daren is invaluable and I highly recommend his services through MK Garden Butler.
Always enjoy our visits from Daren - we tell him what we think we want done and with advice from him he does it! Friendly, reliable, thoroughly recommended!!
