The Cambridge Landscaper
What customers say
The Cambridge Landscaper has built a reputation among its clients for detailed, accurate quotations and steady communication throughout paving, decking and garden renovation projects. Phillip, referred to by clients as Phil, is named consistently as the point of contact, providing thorough written quotes and keeping customers updated as work progresses, in one case through a shared messaging group. James and his son are mentioned working alongside Phil on site, described as hardworking and good humoured. Jobs described include rebuilding two patios, laying composite decking, constructing custom compost bins, replacing a pond filter and correcting uneven paving slabs left from earlier work, all completed with attention to precise measurements and little material wastage. Waste and rubble removal at the end of a job is mentioned more than once, with gardens left tidy on completion. Several reviewers note that pricing was not the lowest of the quotes obtained but felt the standard of finish and level of communication justified the cost. One recurring issue involves a patio edge that lacked sufficient support after completion, which the customer says has taken time to resolve. Based on Castle Street, the business operates daily except Sundays, with hours extending into the evening on other days of the week.

I had to get a trench dug so that I could install a heat pump and dealt with a couple of companies. Phil at Cambridge Landscaper was good at understanding and making suggestions about what I needed, the price was reasonable and he was good about moving the date when my schedule changed. It was a pleasure to deal with him.
A very professional service from start to finish. Phillip provided a detailed quote, extremely helpful advice and kept us updated at all times. James and his son worked very hard on the task with great good humour and the job was completed promptly and efficiently.
Phil did a really good job. He and his team work really hard and we are very happy with our breedon gravel path. Phil has a really good knowledge of all the building regulations and requirements and makes sure that everything is fully compliant and health and safety on site was good. I was particularly pleased that he returned, after full payment, to sort out some snagging which I think is a good measure of an individuals honesty and integrity. I would definitely use him and his team again in the future. A really big thank you to everyone and also Matthew the electrician who did a great job with my tricky lights.
I had three serious quotes for my project. These guys were not the cheapest, but I believe that you 'get what you pay for', and they inspired the most confidence with a very detailed quote. They offered very pertinent, knowledgable advice. Great team. Very friendly and professional service. Great attention to detail. Very pleased with the result.
Phillip and his assistants have done a magnificent job building our replacement compost bins -- specially designed so that they can be opened on all sides. They also installed a new filter for our pond and re-laid some loose stone steps. They removed all the waste (concrete rubble and rotten timbers) and left the garden immaculately tidy. This work was all done with speed, courtesy and good humour. We are delighted.
What an incredible team from start to finish. So happy with my fence and the workmanship.
Phil and his team did a good job on our composite decking. I was impressed with the communication part of it, we had a WhatsApp group for team discussions, they were keeping us up to date at all times. Phil was also very accommodating when it came to the start date. I am happy with the final outcome, can't wait for the sunny days on our new decking!
