Grass Roots Swansea Garden Services
What customers say
Long-term garden maintenance and planting advice are the mainstay of Grass Roots Swansea Garden Services, run by John from Hen Felin near Rhos on the edge of the city. Clients who have used the service for many years, in some cases over a decade, describe consistent reliability and a good understanding of horticulture across all areas of the garden. A recurring point is punctuality, with John arriving at agreed times and giving advance notice whenever weather forces a change of plan, then arranging an alternative date directly. Reviewers mention planting schemes he has designed, advice given on pruning roses and shrubs, and help nursing a struggling wisteria back to health. One customer recalls a mole problem solved quickly at short notice. Several describe him as a knowledgeable and friendly presence who has become familiar to the household over the years, with one mentioning tea taken during visits. Long-standing clients, including some managing larger gardens as they have grown older, note that borders and lawns are kept looking fresh and interesting throughout the seasons. These accounts point to a dependable, plant-literate gardener who communicates clearly about scheduling, tidies thoroughly before leaving, and delivers steady, well-maintained results in gardens around Rhos and the wider Swansea area.

After initial overwhelm, John started taming my garden about 3 months ago. And while the grass will never be stripey, it is definately looking better. I think the milky tea with 2 sugars also helps
Thanks so much for your help with my overgrown Wisteria. I was nervous about killing it off so John helped and advised me. He also gave me tips on pruning my roses and other shrubs. A lovely, friendly garden expert who I 100% recommend! Thanks John 👍
