What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Thoughtful plant selection and healthy soil preparation are what stand out most in feedback for this Brighton landscaper, with George credited for reviving neglected gardens through careful consideration of colour, scent, blossom timing and pollinator-friendly choices. Clients whose gardens had lost their appeal after years of decline describe a transformation into spaces they now enjoy spending time in.

Hedge cutting and clearance of overgrown trees and bushes are mentioned frequently, with one client noting the job was finished properly despite poor weather conditions. One thing mentioned again and again is the guidance offered alongside the practical work, as clients mention learning correct pruning times and ongoing care techniques through pre-work consultations. Punctuality and tidiness are noted by more than one reviewer, together with a considerate, client-led approach that adapts to individual preferences rather than following a set formula.

Some clients have used the service on an ongoing basis for close to a year, describing sustained hard work and a genuine enthusiasm for gardening that carries through to creative planning for gardens of different sizes. Others highlight clear communication throughout a project, from initial discussion to completed result. Based on Surrenden Crescent, the business operates daily with hours extending into early evening, covering both one-off garden clearance and longer-term planting and maintenance work.

Years ago we had our garden professionally landscaped but over the years many plants died or were not thriving. Hence it just wasn't a place we enjoyed being in. George breathed new life into the garden with healthy soil and utterly beautiful, thoughtful plant selection. Every detail was considered including the quality of the soil, blossom season, colours, shapes, scents and pollinators. We are delighted with the result. I definitely recommend Sanctuary Gardens.

George did an amazing job of cutting our hedge which had completely over grown. It was not an easy job, and the weather was horrible, however he got it all done and it was a pleasure to have him here. Highly recommend him.

Thankyou for showing me correct pruning times to look after my plants. I could have killed my plants without the knowledge George provided. The consultation before hand made me feel really comfortable going ahead with the services.

We were really pleased to employ George to clear a large area of overgrown thicket in our garden. He was hardworking and reliable as well as respectful in terms of the likely impact of the work on neighbours. He kept us fully informed of progress and issues that arose and gave good advice on what to do next. He had a professional approach and tidied up thoroughly at the end of each session.

George has just done an outstanding job on managing our hedge. It was long, tall and wide and very out of control. He was responsive, had clear thinking and had a well-laid-out plan. Communicating to us throughout and clearing up as he went. He left us with what us now a tidy, manageable header. Perfect. I would absolutely recommend him and plan to use him going forward.
