What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Amelogardens has earned consistent praise through the efforts of Mel, whose name appears throughout customer accounts of garden transformations across Brighton. Clients describe how neglected, overgrown spaces were turned into areas they now enjoy, with work covering lawn digging and levelling, removal of old planters and rotting decking, and installation of paving, raised beds, privacy screening and a pergola. Reviews time and again mention the clear and reasonable quotes provided, with mention that a paving and planter project was finished punctually and within the agreed figure.

Communication emerges as a recurring strength: Mel explains progress each evening, checks that clients are satisfied, and discusses issues as they arise. Her practical advice on planting and ongoing garden care is highlighted, as is the care taken to leave no trace of work after passing through a narrow terrace. The pace of work and standard of finish are mentioned often, alongside a friendly manner and Kate's involvement on certain jobs. Results range from small back gardens to full redesigns featuring tiered levels and bespoke trellis, all described as transformative.

If I could give a hundred stars I would! Mel transformed our garden by doing away with a knackered old shed and decking and building a beautiful new deck and balcony from scratch. She is wonderfully creative and has real expertise which makes you feel confident about every decision. She was communicative, super easy to work with and so helpful, taking on a number of extra tasks that sprung up along the way. She took an extraordinary amount of care and attention to every detail, getting every little thing (especially the things that would never have occurred to me!) just right. I also appreciated that she is mindful of the sustainability of her practice. To top it all off, she’s just a lovely lady and a pleasure to have around. Would recommend to anyone, and will call on her whatever my next garden project is!

Mel completely redesigned, landscaped and planted our small garden, building a new terrace, pergola and a couple of raised beds. She was brilliant from start to finish: easy to work with, listened to our ideas, made great suggestions. She also worked extremely hard and got everything done quickly and efficiently. We're absolutely delighted with the results and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Mel did an amazing job on our garden. A pleasure to work with she saw our ideas for the garden with great clarity and made them a reality. She gave good practical advice, everything was done neatly, at a good pace and to a high standard. Could not recommend highly enough!

Mel completely transformed my small back garden, creating a beautiful and dynamic area which I can't wait to spend time in! I was so happy with the result. Mel's skills and knowledge were very impressive, as was her enthusiasm for her work. I would definitely recommend her and really appreciated all the plant/garden advice she gave me for the future.

We are absolutely thrilled with the incredible transformation Mel has achieved in our garden. It started as a neglected, overgrown mess that we were completely overwhelmed by, and Mel has turned it into a beautiful sanctuary with a gorgeous deck, tiered levels, privacy screening and raised beds ready for planting. We couldn’t be happier with it and we are loving spending time outside now. From the very start Mel was amazing to work with. She listened really carefully to our ideas and made practical and cost-effective suggestions, coming up with a design that met all of our needs. Mel’s organisation and communication throughout were outstanding - I always felt clear on where we were at in the process and which decisions needed making, and the time-frames for each stage. Mel worked really hard come rain or shine (including through the heatwave!) and completed the job on time and in budget. She was really easy to have around, as she is lovely and thoughtful, but also self-sufficient and diligent so she just got on with the work without fuss. She treated our home with the utmost respect and kept mess to an absolute minimum. It was a pleasure working with Mel and I can’t recommend her highly enough. We will certainly be booking her for any future garden/landscaping work we need.

Mel was an absolute joy and super efficient! She has completely transformed our garden by digging up, levelling and laying a new lawn whilst giving us a few other tips along the way. She seamlessly fitted in around us, and the resident tortoise, and we are now left with a gorgeous garden to enjoy all summer. 100% recommend Mel :)

Cannot recommend Mel enough!! We inherited a chaotic, overgrown garden with two massive planters that we struggled to maintain (see before photo!). Mel provided a clear, reasonable quote for both the removal of the old planters and new paving & wooden planters - she was the only person we've worked with since moving in who finished the project on time and on budget! She was friendly, efficient and shared lots of helpful advice for general advice, and our cats loved watching her work too. Highly recommend, thanks so much!!! 😊
