Jackdaw Grounds Maintenance and Gardening
What customers say
Calsayseat Road in Aberdeen is the base for this small gardening operation run by Lucy and Ben, who between them handle everything from grass cutting and hedge trimming to garden clearances and general tidy-ups. Reviewers often mention how thoroughly waste and cuttings are removed once a job is finished, leaving borders and lawns genuinely tidy rather than just cut. Punctuality comes up often too, with customers noting that the pair arrive when agreed and complete jobs within the timeframe discussed at the quote stage. Several accounts describe overgrown gardens being brought back under control in a single visit, including power washing driveways, laying slabs and clearing ivy and brambles that had taken over a plot. Hedge and tree work features strongly, with clients praising careful trimming timed around bird nesting season and advice offered on caring for garden trees. A number of customers have gone on to book regular maintenance after an initial one-off job, and word of mouth has clearly spread, with neighbours and family members also becoming clients. Pricing is consistently described as fair and quotes are given quickly once contacted. The business operates weekdays only, from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon, with no weekend availability, suiting those able to arrange visits during the working week rather than requiring evening or Saturday appointments.

Would have no hesitation recommending Jackdaw. Offered some great suggestions for improvements to the original plan, priced the work very keenly, and then carried out the landscaping to a very high standard.
Fantastic, lovely folk, cleared a heap of ivy and brambles out my garden. Very reasonably priced :) would use again if I needed more cleared.
Great garden/bush tidy up from Jackdaw. Lucy and Ben always do a good job and tidy up afterwards. Thoroughly recommend their friendly service. 😀
Lucy and Ben did a great job pruning the large shrubs in my father-in-law's garden and cleared away all the garden waste. A very efficient and pleasant couple to deal with. Highly recommended.
I required some property maintenance within my Shared Garden in Aberdeen City Centre. My mother had previous used their services and highly recommended the service. They were very professional and communicated well throughout, whilst ensuring to keep the area tidy and remove all relevant waste. Would definitely recommend and will utilise the service again in the future.
Lucy and Ben excellent work sorting out our overgrown hedge and trees in the front garden. Very friendly and kind, really good price came and looked at the work needed and the cost was really very reasonable. I highly recommend this compai should add that all cuttings were removed and taken away and garden left tidyny. Work ethic excellent
Cleared up a substantial overgrowth around our garage in a timely manner and a good price! To top it off they are very personable and professional. Highly recommended. 👌
