What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Full garden transformations dominate the feedback for Sticks & Stones Landscaping & Gardening, based on High Street, Birmingham. Dan is named repeatedly as the main point of contact, praised for listening to what clients want, offering creative design ideas and providing detailed plans, including 3D visuals, before work begins. A point raised often is how the team turned neglected or overgrown gardens into usable outdoor spaces through paving, decking, turfing and planting, with work frequently continuing through rainy conditions without delay.

The crew is described time and again as friendly, professional and hard-working, and several clients note that pricing felt fair given the scope of the projects undertaken. Patience with clients who were unsure of their preferences is mentioned more than once, pointing to a collaborative style rather than a fixed approach.

Timekeeping around appointments has been inconsistent for some, with occasional gaps between when work was expected and when it actually took place, though the standard of finished work is not in question. A separate account described unease over how a paving, artificial turf and decking project was handled after an otherwise reassuring start. Even so, the overwhelming pattern is of gardens reshaped quickly and to a high standard, with many clients going on to recommend the company to others in their own circles following completion of their projects.

**** AVOID AVOID AVOID **** If I could give this so called company less than a 1 star I would. We had “work” carried out by Dan (I say Dan but he rarely turned up) and his workers. Dan was supposedly a friend however what Dan has done I don’t think you’d treat an enemy like it never mind a friend! Anyway so work was discussed and quote agreed. They were late starting the job, was supposed to only take 2 weeks but nearly 2 months on absolutely destroyed our garden rendering it completely unusable. Various issues and dodgy workmanship, Dan agreed to the problems and promised to come back on the Monday to sort it. 2 years later and still waiting for him to show up! Have asked him repeatedly for money back for the state he’s left the garden in to be told he doesn’t have any money. £400 for a bricklayer who never turned up. £3.5k for slabs that he swore he paid for yet when I rang the company no such thing, only paid for a few to start the job! Never answers his phone or texts the list is endless.will give u a sob story of he needs to pay the lads don’t fall for it! They turned up as and when they felt like it and worked a few hours which is why a 2 week job turned into 2 months!! Please people don’t part with your hard earned money, or if u do don’t do it till the jobs finished! Absolute cowboys! Oh and they have no assets either so pointless trying to take them to small claims court!

Dan and his team did a great job transforming part of my garden… he listened to what I wanted and discussed options with me before he went ahead with things. Communication as to when he as coming was a little hit and miss, and a few days he didn’t turn up when expected, but they all worked hard when they were here and did a quality job. I would definitely use them again. Thanks guys!

Recently had a complete garden makeover done with Dan and the guys at Sticks and Stones. The transformation is unbelievable and the photo’s definitely prove that. Dan was always extremely contactable, prompt to reply and extremely reasonable with quotes for the work. Throughout the process they guys worked incredibly quickly to get the job done in only a few days and to a really high standard. With all projects there are always hiccups but Dan was honest and accountable and always seemed to be trustworthy which is a big thing. I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough for any work that needs doing and would happily suggest them to friends and family and will be first in line for any future work.

Daniel went above and beyond to get the job done perfectly. As you can see in the pictures he was able to tame a completely overgrown garden. This job was done under a time constraint and they delivered perfectly. I will definitely use this business for future gardening jobs.

Dan was brilliant and very patient in helping me plan the garden update - he gave a lot of his time - and also all the way through the build. The team were very hardworking, very friendly (and funny), tidied up every day after themselves and the overall cost was extremely reasonable. They also pay attention to detail and it’s clear that they take pride in their work. Very happy with my garden landscaping result. I hope to use them again for my front garden revamp next year. Photos are before and after the garden was landscaped. I very highly recommend this Company.

I found them via Google as my previous contractor ghosted us, and turned out it’s for the better! Dan was very responsive and has been an absolute joy to work with. He was on time for the quote and shared back a detail breakdown and a 3D design for our reference - all free of charge! The team was professional, friendly and we simply could not ask for more. They even worked through rainy days, came all the way just to drop off some samples, for that we’re deeply grateful, especially when the ground has been a mess for too long. We cannot be happier with the outcome - the pictures speak for itself! Dan even followed up with tips to maintain the lawn. 5 star contractor and highly recommend!!!
