What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Garden maintenance across south-east London is the service that runs through the accounts left by customers, and the name Austen appears in almost every one. Reviews time and again describe him as professional, efficient and pleasant to deal with, arriving when he said he would and completing the work at speed. The tasks covered in the feedback include clearing overgrown front and back gardens, removing weeds, fallen leaves and dead plants, pruning, mowing and general pre-spring tidying.

Various customers describe his prices as reasonable or affordable for the work carried out, and mention that he was willing to take on extra areas once he was on site. A point made in several accounts is his willingness to explain which plants are present and how to look after them, especially for people new to a property. He is described as knowledgeable, well humoured and thorough in asking questions beforehand so the job could be done properly. Reviewers note that neglected plots were transformed, that he was booked again for ongoing maintenance, and that communication was swift from the first enquiry onwards.

Austen did such a great job tidying up our overgrown garden, both in the front and back. Brilliant communication and excellent service. Thank you.

Austen comes highly recommended and doesn't disappoint. Very friendly guy who brings all his own equipment and knows his stuff. We needed our overgrown tiny jungle trimming back for winter, which Austen set about doing in no time at all. Very pleased with his work and will be sure to use him again.

Austen was great! He worked hard to clear high weeds from a the front and back garden patio that had been neglected by tenants. He was polite, efficient and very reasonably priced. We'll be having him back next month!

I’m so glad I found Austen! I was looking for a gardener who genuinely knows about plants, and Austen really knows his stuff. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, which is so important to me when it comes to maintaining my mum’s beautiful garden. The garden had become overgrown and needed some serious pruning and cutting back. Austen did a brilliant job; he was fast, efficient, and clearly experienced. He’s also happy to give you a quick lesson on the plants you have and what they need, which I really appreciated. It was lovely meeting Austen, and I’d highly recommend him. I’ll definitely be hiring him again in the future!
