What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Zakscapes has built its standing in Southampton largely through word of mouth, with many customers noting they arrived via a personal recommendation and found the results well worth it. Reviewers repeatedly name Zak himself, describing him as polite, personable and hard working, and praising the clear communication maintained while work was under way. The tasks covered include hedge cutting, grass cutting, border restoration, weed removal, planting and general garden clearance, with thorough results and a tidy finish once each visit ended.

A detail many reviews return to is punctuality and effort, as jobs were completed efficiently and Zak stayed into the evening to finish an overgrown border and clear all the waste. Charges are felt to be fair rather than excessive, and the wider team, when present, is called professional and friendly. Several accounts cover neglected beds being dug out, weeds cleared, existing plants saved and the soil prepared for replanting. Front and back areas were left neat and well maintained, and the comments settle on a reliable gardener who listens and delivers.

Zak did a great job of cutting our hedge which had grown wildly in the last few weeks. Good communication throughout and left it all neat and tidy

A good find, highly recommended. Polite, does a thorough job, and doesn’t overcharge. I’ll continue using Zakscapes going forward.

Zak came to us for the first time to do a complete tidy up of our garden while we went out and left him to it. He worked hard and has all his own tools. When we returned, Zak had done everything we asked and the garden looked great. The bushes were all trimmed back and smartened up, the flowerbeds were weeded and sharp edges cut in. All cuttings were packed away and he left a very tidy finish. We have Zak coming back again for regular maintenance, and would highly recommend Zak for all gardening work.
