Cambridge Garden Maintenance
What customers say
Seven-day availability, with weekday starts at 8am and slightly later Saturday and Sunday hours, underpins the service offered by Cambridge Garden Maintenance, whose founder George features by name throughout client feedback. Recurring praise centres on his ability to take on gardens left to deteriorate over time, whether inherited from a previous owner, abandoned by tenants, or simply too large and overwhelming for the owner to manage alone. Work described spans clearance of brambles and ivy, hedge trimming, weeding of persistent problems such as ground elder and bindweed, turfing, levelling and the tidying of borders and beds. A theme that comes up often is clear communication, with George setting out his planned approach in advance and, in several cases, sending progress photographs or video updates so clients could follow the transformation without needing to be present. Fair and transparent pricing is mentioned more than once, alongside genuine care in disposing of green waste responsibly. On larger projects, including one restoration spanning several months across a substantial plot, George is joined by colleague Danny and a wider team, all described as hardworking and easy to have on site. Clients also value the plant and lawn care guidance offered once jobs are finished, helping them maintain results after the team has left, with bookings available throughout the week including weekends.

George and the team did a brilliant job transforming our overgrown garden. They removed (literal) tons of weeds and levelled and turfed the space so we can enjoy it in the summer. We found the communication to be excellent, and the team were a pleasure to have around. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
George and his team took on the job of cleaning up the sorely neglected yard of a deceased relative. It was a huge amount of work and I am very pleased with the results. He explained very thoroughly what he recommended, sent before and after videos. Pricing was fair and transparent. He did what he said he would do and when he said he would do it. I highly recommend!
George came this week and sorted out my garden beautifully. I had hurt my back and couldn’t bend or pick anything up. He weeded everywhere (doing an especially thorough job on the bindweed). He trimmed a tree, removed lots of ivy, and planted out some new additions. The garden is now in a state I can manage. I also got advice about some of my plants so I think I’ll be able to take better care of them. I’ve begged him to come back again even if it’s only once every couple of months! I’m not sure if the photos do his work justice!
George and his excellent team have renovated and restored a 0.3 acre garden tirelessly since April 2025. The garden had fallen into disrepair and George set out a clear methodical plan, working in conjunction with the seasons (and weather), to restore the shape and health of the garden. His team worked very hard achieving great results. George had access to the property meaning I didn't need to be there when the team were working but such his George's work ethic and honesty he's fully trustworthy. Would I recommend him ? An unqualified YES- he's a knowledgeable, hardworking professional. I hope his business continues to flourish (pun intended). I've sold the property and the work George had done rescuing the garden certainly contributed to the sale.
I reached out to George from Cambridge Garden Maintenance, to help clear the overgrown garden belonging to my father. George visited promptly to quote and explain how they would clear the Garden. On the day George and his team arrived promptly and completed the job as promised. They were very tidy and George kept me up to date through the day, I would not hesitate to recommend George and his team. They are coming back in in new year to carry out some further work on the Garden, which I wanted doing.
Thank you to George and his team for the amazing work they did on our overgrown garden. Very pleased with the result.
Great job clearing, taking away waste and preparing the ground. Listened acurately to what I wanted and excuted it perfectly. From waste-land to seed-ready soil in one go. Very pleasent to work with. The cost was about what others charge. Highly recommended.
