I wouldn’t recommend this gardener, he was very disrespectful, quoting one amount based on videos I sent and then turning up and walking around saying I can’t do this for the amount he quoted and walked off. It wasn’t a huge job for a professional gardener and he was charging quite a lot for it anyway so I’m unsure what changed suddenly when he turned up. Waste of time and very unprofessional.
Danny was great. Really nice guy and so knowledgable. He taught me loads about plants and the best things for my garden. He did a great job too. Really happy with the results. He is strong and can do the hard graft too! Will use again.
Danny did an awesome job with our end of tenancy garden tidy up! He really went above and beyond to help us out, and is so friendly and helpful. I would happily recommend his work to anyone.
Brilliant work! Danny is reliable, skilled, and turned my garden into a beautiful space. Highly recommend!
Very happy - will definitely ask Danny to come back. Efficient communication, short wait, competitive price, excellent work. Highly recommended :)
Great services, Danny is very kind and handy. He completely cleaned our garden as we asked and gave us a lot of tips on how to manage it. Definitely recommend his services.
Great experience! Danny did big cleanup of various overgrown plants, gave good advice for future maintenance, and was a very friendly person overall. Would recommend:)
