South Bank Garden Services
What customers say
Fencing, patio paving and full garden makeovers feature heavily in feedback about South Bank Garden Services, based at Claremont Terrace in York. Damian and his team are named consistently across reviews, with clients describing new fencing erected to a high standard, patios laid or repointed, decking replaced and gardens re-turfed after long periods of neglect. A recurring theme is the transformation of gardens that had been left untouched for years, including full clearances, levelling and turfing, and even construction of a sturdy base for a garden shed. Several customers highlight strong communication throughout each project, alongside reasonable pricing for the quality delivered. Winter tidy-ups and border clearance are also mentioned, with the team described as efficient and leaving sites clean once finished. More than one review notes that the company took on fencing work at short notice when other contractors were fully booked, completing it to the standard originally wanted. Artificial lawn cleaning and front garden makeovers round out the range of jobs described, with the finished results consistently called professional and tidy. The team works Monday to Friday during daytime hours, with weekends unavailable, and clients describe returning for further landscaping and construction work in the garden once the first project is complete.

Damian and his team renovated my back garden, professional work with an amazing final finish. Thanks!.
Damian did a fantastic job cleaning my artificial lawn and clearing my borders. Highly recommend South Bank Garden Services. Excellent!
We asked for a bespoke wooden cladding outbuilding with some storage space and a small gym area. Damian and his team were great! They listened and designed something that was exactly what we were looking for. All staff were polite and worked incredibly hard. Communication was excellent and the workmanship was great. This is the second time we've used their services and have had a consistently good experience. I would highly recommend South Bank Garden Services.
Had Damian and his team come and mend and improve a part of my fence as well as lay some patio slabs. The design for the slabs was very specific and they sorted it perfectly. Glad I was recommended their services and I'm happy to recommend them to everyone.
Damien and his team recently completed some fencing work for us which we are very pleased with. We also had our patio repointed at the same time. We would recommend them very highly if you need any landscaping/ construction for your garden.
Declan and his team have been looking after my garden for about a year and they do a fantastic job. This week they erecting fencing. The end result is fantastic, the lads were great and very hard working. I will recommend them wherever possible.
Damien and his team came around to fit some artificial grass and a trellis. They have all done a perfect job, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Every step we were consulted to make sure that’s how we wanted it looking and if there is anything else we needed. The lads he brought with him couldn’t have been politer if they tried! Would highly recommend them to anyone needing any gardening and landscaping work, 10/10!
