The Garden Doctor
What customers say
Homeowners with weekly maintenance needs and those facing overgrown or awkward plots feature strongly in feedback for this Bournemouth-based gardener, operating from Colehill Crescent. Regular clients describe consistent visits carried out with enthusiasm and a strong work ethic, while others mention gardens that had become unmanageable being brought back under control and turned into pleasant, usable spaces. Punctuality is mentioned repeatedly, along with a dependable approach that clients say they can build a weekly routine around. Specific jobs highlighted include a substantial hedge, around seventy feet in length, cut back ahead of winter to a standard that drew comments from neighbouring properties, and ongoing lawn care that keeps a front garden looking tidy. One account refers to an urgent visit to attend to a struggling shrub while the owner was away, pointing to flexibility beyond the usual scheduled work. Knowledge of plants and planting design is noted more than once, with clients valuing input on what will suit a particular garden rather than just maintenance alone. The working day runs from eight in the morning to eight in the evening on weekdays, with Saturday availability until one in the afternoon, offering scope for visits outside a typical nine-to-five routine.

Phil did a fantastic job cutting our hedge back for the winter. Our hedge is 70 foot long but that did not faze Phil at all. Many of our neighbours have commented on how nice it looks.. Thanks Phil.. would definitely recommend to anyone 👍👍
Phil is a top gardener with a wealth of knowledge and expertise, I would highly recommend him.
Phil is friendly and reliable and does a great job on our front lawn
Phil takes care of my garden each week and I've found him to be reliable, enthusiastic and informative with a good work ethic.
Phil, The Garden Doctor is pleasant, polite, capable, knowledgeable and the best gardener I have met. He has transformed my garden from a jungle into a lovely place. Highly recommended.
Phil is so good at what he does that I feel lucky to be his customer. Always on time, he works exceptionally hard in what is something of an awkward garden to maintain. I often work away and on occasion he has acted as 'Plant Rescuer' , making an emergency visit to re-plant a shrub that is suffering. He has an excellent knowledge of plants and good ideas about design. I always look forward to Phil's visits and cannot recommend him highly enough.
