M&J Gardens
What customers say
M&J Gardens has built a strong reputation among homeowners in Derby for turning neglected outdoor spaces around. Several accounts describe severely overgrown gardens, tangled with ivy and self-seeded trees, being cleared and rehauled in a single visit, with all resulting waste removed from site rather than left behind. Matt is named repeatedly as approachable and quick to respond with a fair quote, and staff members Aiden and Karl are also mentioned as friendly and hardworking during larger clearance jobs. Customers consistently note the standard of the finished work, from tidy hedge trimming and lawn care to landscaping additions incorporated at a client's request, sometimes completed without extra charge. Reliability is another recurring theme, with the team able to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests, including a furniture and appliance removal handled outside the usual gardening remit. Pricing is generally seen as reasonable given the scale of work undertaken, and a monthly maintenance option is mentioned as something clients plan to continue using. Communication throughout each job, from initial advice to completion, is described as clear and professional. With hours running into the evening on weekdays and Saturdays, plus Sunday availability from ten until four, the business offers flexibility for those needing garden clearance, landscaping or ongoing upkeep around Derby.

Very good service. So pleased with the work done in our garden. Also great with communication.
My first experience with a gardener. The garden was totally overgrown and in terrible shape with Ivy and small trees all over the place. The guys came for about 7 hours and absolutely blitzed it. Looks fantastic and it's so great to have my garden back. Karl was the main man today and he was so friendly and a genuine nice guy. Will deffo have them back! I've attached before and after photos
Great job completed on our garden, it was a big job but Matt and Aiden did a brilliant days work. Full overgrown garden rehaul, plus removed a considerable amount of waste alongside. Will definitely use again and recommend. Thanks again 👍🏻
Just had my front lawn, tree and garden done as it definitely needed maintenance. I am beyond pleased with amazing service and results. It was smooth and reasonably priced given the condition it was in but now it looks stellar. Thanks to M&J Gardens as they have smashed it
Brilliant service from MJ Gardens. My garden was really overgrown and he completely transformed it in a short amount of time. Everything was cut back neatly and all the garden waste was taken away afterwards. Reliable, professional and very hardworking. Thank you again!
Brilliant service. Matt and the team did some landscaping works at our home to a very high standard. Incorporated a couple of minor additions I asked for and also carried out some additional minor hedge trimming free of charge. Would use again and unreservedly recommend. Thank you
Very happy with the highly professional work that they have done to bring our garden back to life and I cannot recommend them enough. Matt and his team are very respectful, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be coming back!
