What customers say

Homeowners with awkward or sloping plots, tight access and challenging weather conditions feature heavily among the projects described for this Bishopthorpe-based landscaping firm, run by Paul and Kath. Decking with sleeper retainers, fencing replacement, pergola construction, pond re-edging and full garden transformations are all mentioned, alongside praise for the firm's habit of bringing a portable toilet to avoid needing access to clients' homes. Tidiness is raised repeatedly, with driveways and houses reportedly left spotless at the end of each working day despite difficult site conditions. Prompt responses to enquiries and fast turnaround on quotes are noted often, along with clear communication throughout a project from initial consultation to completion. Paul is described as taking time to understand vague ideas and translate them into finished designs, while the wider team are praised for working hard and maintaining a considerate, respectful approach towards neighbouring properties during noisier stages of work. Jobs are frequently said to start and finish on schedule, with some completed ahead of the original timeframe. The firm keeps notably long hours, operating seven days a week from seven in the morning until nine at night, offering considerable flexibility for those wanting to arrange visits or discuss projects outside a conventional working day.

Lovely people to deal with. Paul listened to the vague ideas I had and turned them into a reality I'm delighted with. Paul and Kath and the guys are a great team, not just good at the landscaping but friendly and thoughtful.

If you want an extremely professional company to help you with your landscaping project, look no further than Paul Cox Landscaping. Paul & Kath were prompt to deal with my query and quite possibly the fastest 'Quote givers' I have ever come across! From the start it was clear they were genuinely interested in helping me achieve the look I was aiming for in the garden. Their team were as professional as themselves - turning up on time every morning, polite and raring to get on with the work. They worked in a neat and tidy manner and were diligent throughout the day, leaving everything neat and tidy at night. The standard of workmanship was very high and the finish was exceptional. Overall, a fantastic job was done - a beautiful brick raised bed, paved area and new lawn. I can highly recommend Paul, Kath and their team and would certainly call on them for future garden work.

Deck with stairs and sleeper retainer. Prompt, helpful, tidy, chose quality materials and fixings. Started and finished early, happy to accommodate our small updates and was ready with advice for some other projects I have on. No hassle even brought own loo. Recommended.

We recently moved into a new build house. The garden consisted of a poor quality lawn which was full of weeds and a little functional paving with an area to store the bins. We contacted Paul and Kath to ask about landscaping. They came to visit us and we explained some of the ideas we already had. Paul was able to incorporate these but then enhanced them beyond our wildest dreams, totally transforming the garden. It was amazing to watch the design evolve from Kath's early drawing and come to life. Paul has incorporated beautiful porcelain paving to wrap around the back of our house and on our fabulous patio. We explained that we planned to install an electronic pergola and Paul met with the supplier to understand exactly what was required. Going well beyond the original brief, Paul ensured there were secure concrete foundations installed below the patio to support the pergola legs and also provided a conduit under the stones for the electricity supply. He installed a raised bed to edge the patio and generous borders with sympathetic planting which all looks amazing. We also now have a top quality lawn edged with sandstone pavers that make mowing the lawn so much easier. Paul and all of his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are friendly and polite. They turned up every day when they said they would and worked extremely hard. Their attention to detail was second to none and they were willing to accommodate changes as the garden progressed. They cleaned up after each day and left the property in perfect condition at the end. We would certainly recommend Paul Cox Landscaping to anyone wanting a professional, high quality job. We would work with Paul and Kath again although they have done such a good job we can't think of anything else our garden would need!!

Five star+++++ Such lovely people to work with. Cracking job with attention to detail - see pics before and after. I have already received so many complements on the work. I never thought the awkward muddy slope in the back of my garden could ever look so good. They even bring a portable toilet so no entry to your home required. Place left spotless. No stress. Very reasonably priced. I can't recommend enough. Thank you.

Paul Cox offers a highly professional service with attention to detail, value for money, and excellent communication throughout. We will certainly return with any future work and will recommend him to any of our friends in need of landscaping.
