What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Blue Fern Landscapes has built a reputation in Caversham for turning neglected or overgrown gardens into spaces that closely match the client's brief. More than one customer describes John's hands-on role from the first consultation, producing designs and drawings and advising on materials that suit the property. The range of work covers patios, decking, pergolas, fencing, gates, sheds, block-paved driveways, brickwork and raised beds, with planting suggestions added once construction is complete.

A recurring theme is the flow of communication, with progress discussed daily and additional requests absorbed without fuss, even when the weather made conditions difficult. Reviewers often mention punctuality, reliability and the care taken to keep the site clean as the job advanced. The finish draws consistent admiration, and one account notes that a garden office was moved after other trades had said it could not be done. Quotes are described as detailed, competitive and fair. Connor is singled out for his professionalism alongside John, and clients speak of recommending the team to family and friends and planning further projects.

I would not hesitate to recommend John and his team who did an excellent job installing our new patio in difficult weather conditions. We were kept informed of progress on a daily basis discussing any concerns and additional requests that we had. All work was completed to the highest standard.

Blue Fern Landscapes did a fantastic job of landscaping part of our garden, installing decking and building a pergola. Communication with John both during the planning phase and actual work was 100% and all was completed to an extremely high standard. John and Connor were such professionals, the garden was always left tidy and I can’t recommend highly enough.

John and the Blue Fern team did a great job in transforming our back garden, including relocating a home office which I had been told was un-moveable by several other tradesmen. John made really good suggestions about planting and worked to a very high standard on both hard and soft landscaping. He really cares about his work and I am looking forward to Spring, when all of the plants that he put in during the autumn start to burst into life. He is very good value too.

Blue Fern Landscapes recently designed and built a new patio for us. John was incredibly collaborative and professional right from the start - providing great input into the design, and giving excellent advice on the best materials to use to compliment our property. Once the team started the build, we were further impressed with their communication, cleanliness and efficiency. Blue Fern are perfectionists - and the results speak for themselves with the number of compliments we have received on our fantastic new patio. Blue Fern are highly recommended.

John and his team recently completed two phases of work on our back garden including erection of a new fence, gate and shed (phase 1) and installation of new raised beds and patio area (phase 2). John was professional and courteous throughout. After our initial meeting he provided detailed quotes and drawings and was competitive in comparison to the other quotes we received. He also agreed to carry out the works in two separate phases at our request. During the work, the team was efficient and tidy, working through all weathers, and we received regular updates. The standard of the finished work is excellent and we can't wait to start using the garden more next spring. Thank you!

I'm a property developer that does high end boutique style properties. John with Bluefern are a great fit as they are firstly reliable, and their quality is outstanding. Another important aspect is they are self managing. This is important to me as you need someone on the same wavelength as you in order to achieve the best finish. When selling houses the first impressions are important and I'm confident John will make the best possible wow factor for me. I've known John since 2011 for some fencing, and have exclusively used him since then with planting, soft- landscaping, trees, boundary walls, patios - the whole gambit and everytime the quality hits the mark.
