The Oxford Garden Company
What customers say
Fencing, patio and turfing work around Oxford homes forms the backbone of praise for The Oxford Garden Company, with clients frequently describing overgrown or awkward gardens being turned into finished, usable spaces. Rob is named consistently as the point of contact, and a number of reviews mention his willingness to offer advice both during and after projects, whether on aftercare for new turf, dealing with a shaded lawn caused by a neighbouring tree, or suggesting design touches such as raised beds and sleeper benches that were not part of the original brief. Several accounts describe a team that copes well with unexpected difficulties, including a flint-stone layer encountered while digging fence post holes and a job that grew larger than first scoped, without this affecting the quality of the finish. Clearing sites thoroughly and leaving gardens tidy at the end of each day comes up often, as does clear communication when weather or unforeseen problems caused delays. Work mentioned spans garden clearance, levelling, raised beds, feather-lap fencing, sleeper installation and full lawn renovation, with some clients returning for repeat projects including fence repairs and a garden studio build. The business operates seven days a week with long hours running from eight in the morning until nine at night, making it accessible outside typical weekday scheduling.

I approached Rob a little over a year ago about our grass, and from the get go he was responsive, came straight out to help give advice on how to make more of our lawn for our young children to play on - even though he was super busy, giving clear and helpful advice. I could tell he genuinely cared about doing a good job. Fast forward and, alongside another hugely skilled person, he has built us an incredibly beautiful cedar-clad garden studio in place of our old shed, allowing us more space for working and storage, done to a level of perfection that I still am in awe of every day. We managed to convince him to come back and he's just finished making our old decked patio and concrete flower beds into the most special and beautiful space with clever seating, beautiful stone slabs and finishes that go above and beyond, as well as making more place for us to play and be together. Their commitment and care is astounding - they have surpassed all expectations every time. We can't thank them enough for transforming our gardens and our space for our family and would highly recommend their work (and them as people!).
Rob and the team have worked on our garden for over 5 years. Reliable and friendly they have provided a consistent high quality service over this period. The garden always looks immaculate, whatever the English weather throws at us! Highly recommended!
Rob was responsive and was able to help transform my garden by planting shade loving grass seed. This was necessary because of a neighbour's large tree.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rob and The Oxford Garden Company. The quality of work is incredibly high, and the finish touches are top notch. Rob took the time to make suggestions that worked for us (and our dog!). And took on the challenge of creating a bespoke sleeper bench without hesitation. We are all delighted with the results. Even our dog has now stopped digging in admiration of her new garden!
Fabulous, professional service, and workmanship. The Director Rob is very amiable and has done a great job on transforming my dull garden in to a place I can enjoy in the spring and summer. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
We have used the Oxford Garden Company several times in the last couple of years and Rob’s work is always excellent (including building a new fence, putting in sleepers, levelling and laying a new lawn and most recently repairing an old fence that was a rather tricky job). Rob is clearly very experienced, giving expert advice. He is entirely trustworthy and professional and prices are very competitive. We would not hesitate to recommend the Oxford Garden Company to family and friends and we will certainly be using them again. Thanks Rob & co!
This garden and landscape company was excellent. I needed two small trees removed, and a fence replaced which was overgrown with deep rooted ivy. Rob did such a great job - he completely removed all the ivy and built the fence just as I requested. The standard of craftsmanship was very high and he had a real attention to detail. My neighbour even commented on how tidy and high quality it was! I would highly recommend this company.
