Oxford Community Gardeners
What customers say
Oxford Community Gardeners, based at Manor Farm near Drayton St Leonard and Wallingford, draws consistent praise for turning overgrown or newly acquired plots into finished spaces, with compacted soil cleared, shrub beds planted, patios laid and lawns turfed as part of larger transformations. Jay is named repeatedly as the main point of contact, credited with talking clients through design options and adjusting plans to fit budget, even when a project grows more complicated than first expected. A recurring theme is the itemised written quote followed by a clear invoice once work is finished, which several clients mention as reassuring before committing. The willingness to take on modest jobs that bigger landscaping firms were not interested in is noted more than once, alongside praise for efficient, hardworking crews who tidy up fully before leaving. Drainage problems being resolved as part of wider garden works, and return visits made to ensure everything meets expectations, are mentioned by more than one household. Bulk compost deliveries have also been handled smoothly, with good communication throughout. Politeness and punctuality come up often, with teams arriving on time and working quickly without compromising on quality. Trading six days a week from 8:30am to 6pm and closed on Sundays, the business remains reachable well into the early evening for those planning garden projects around work commitments.

We recently moved into Bicester and decided we wanted to start anew with our garden. We wanted all the previous small shrubs removed and the compacted clay soil to be loosened up ready for planting. We searched online and after asking several different people for quotes we opted for Oxford Community Gardeners. Not just because of their competitive quote but also the positive feedback from their customers. Jay and Steve turned up on time. Both really amazing people. Customer focused, friendly, professional and incredibly hard working. We couldn't have asked for a better finish to our garden. All the shrubs are gone. The compacted soil has been transformed and looks amazing and ready for planting. I would highly recommend Oxford Community Gardeners to anyone. We'll definitely use them again.
On time, efficient, very polite, did what you asked and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend the service.
Fantastic service. Jay and the team did a great job, quickly and cleanly. Couldn't be happier with the work they did on our front garden. Highly recommended.
This company has been absolutely brilliant. Extremely responsive, communicates really well and does great work. Highly recommended
Jay is very easygoing and do as little or as much work as we want. Very satisfied with result in such a short time.
The guys were thoroughly professional, ie a detailed itemised quote beforehand and invoice after completion. They were also competent, worked swiftly and cleaned up thoroughly after completion. I would recommend them to anyone.
We had bulk bags of compost delivered from OCG, and were very happy with them. Communication was good and Jay is very personable. Would recommend!
