What customers say
Installing new planting and maintaining it afterwards feature heavily in accounts of Emmet Foy Gardens on Banbury Road in Summertown. Larger commissions include supplying and fitting mature Laurel hedging and pleached trees, with irrigation put in place to support establishment through dry spells, and reviewers describe careful attention to detail during these installs alongside a tidy finish on site. Eoghan is named repeatedly as providing clear guidance on plant selection and long-term care, both during initial consultations and once work is underway, with proposals tailored to individual priorities and budgets. Weekly visits are described as consistently leaving lawns and borders in strong condition, and lawncare results are highlighted as a particular strength. A point that comes up often is how tidy the team leaves a site even during messier jobs such as a full garden clearance, with neighbouring properties noted as remarking on how little mess remained afterwards. Reviewers also mention prompt, reliable communication, with enquiries answered quickly and appointments kept as arranged. Work referenced across the reviews spans routine tidy-ups, trimming hedges beyond easy reach, and complete garden transformations from a neglected starting point. The business operates on weekdays from half past seven in the morning until half past five in the evening, closed at weekends, serving Oxford households looking for both dependable routine maintenance and considered planting expertise.

Very helpful advise and support.
Eoghan from Emmet Foy Gardens was very knowledgeable and very helpful during my initial consultation. We discussed my priorities and budget and then Eoghan proposed various options for progression. I'm looking forward to working with the team at some point.
Excellent service from Emmet Foy Gardens. Professional, friendly, and very talented. They’ve made a huge difference to our garden 5 stars!
Eoghan responded to my query really quickly, he came and reviewed the garden and gave reassuring advice
Emmet and Foy supplied and installed four pleached trees for us. Communication was great from the start, and Eoghan gave us great advice on planting and caring for trees. The trees they have supplied are beautiful and they took great care during the install, leaving the site incredibly tidy. They have also gone above and beyond to make sure we have the irrigation in place to keep the trees adequately watered and well cared for. I’m so pleased with the finished result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Emmet Foy must be doing so well they can afford to make potential customers send them photos and then ghost them.
