York Gardening
What customers say
In Heworth, this gardening business is closely associated with one name, Diana, who leads the work described across York. Property managers and homeowners alike mention her care for lawns, borders and pots, including reviving lawns left rough after building work and keeping communal grounds looking healthy. A point that comes up often is trust, with clients handing over keys and relying on her to spot maintenance issues, put bins out for collection and clear away junk mail without prompting. Several reviews mention raised bed schemes, with Diana choosing and sourcing colourful plant combinations and talking clients through her choices beforehand. Others note her help in referring specialist tree removal work and advising on relocating existing plants after changes elsewhere in a garden. A winter restoration carried out for an elderly relative earns particular praise, as does a thorough seasonal tidy covering front and rear plots, completed in close consultation with the customer. Costs are repeatedly described as fair, and her manner is consistently called warm and professional, with plant knowledge singled out by multiple reviewers. The business runs on weekdays, with shorter Monday and Friday hours from nine until one and fuller days Tuesday to Thursday, closing at weekends, giving a clear window for garden visits around Heworth and the wider York area.

Delighted with a big tidy up of front and back gardens. Diana very friendly & understanding of what we needed. A collaboration with everything discussed & understood Highly recommend. Diana you're a gem!
Diana and her team did a wonderful job on replanting the raised bed in our garden. They chose a lovely variety of colourful plants that work beautifully together and left everything neat and tidy. Diana was friendly and professional and took the time to explain everything to us. Would recommend!
Great work from Diana and her team restoring my mother's garden over the winter. It's much appreciated by mum and by her neigbours. We're looking forward to seeing the garden flourish over the spring and summer.
Really pleased with the lovely work done by Diana. The choosing and planting of everything they went into my new raised beds, which I left to Diana’s expertise, was just what I had in mind, all at a reasonable cost. Thank you.
Diana was prompt and professional, and weeded with great care. We would definitely recommend
So grateful for Diana's work. Having tried a few other gardeners who never replied or turned up, I was at my wits' end. Diana has been very reliable and will always let me know if there's a problem. The garden is looking amazing and she is always happy to give advice on things that I can do myself.
Diana is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her. I have virtually no knowledge about gardening but like plants and am happy to roll up my sleeves. Diana has provided really helpful suggestions on plants and tidy up, offered me a bit of an education session (being mindful of costs), and did some pruning work in our little garden. My acers have never looked better :). Thanks Diana!
