    Conifer Cutting in Garden

    Happy with the price and happy with the work which was carried out efficiently.

    Garden Clearance and Bush Removal

    I would strongly advise against using this gardener. He only completed a portion of the agreed work, despite taking more than half of the payment upfront. He was due to return to finish the job but failed to do so, and there was no communication to explain the delay. After I followed up, he mentioned that he had injured his ankle. However, there has been no further contact or clear timeline for completing the work, and it has now been two weeks without any update. The lack of communication and reliability has been very disappointing, and I regret making the payment in advance. Overall, a frustrating experience and not the level of service I expected.

    Repair Loose Garden Fence and Posts

    Job was done same day

    Reduce Height of Conifer Hedge

    Steve, very friendly & polite. Did just what we asked for, at good price. Took all cuttings away, tided garden and left no mess. Even went round to our elderly neighbour to pick-up any cuttings which may have dropped her side

    Garden Clearance and Pruning

    I'll describe the situation in full and delete or ammend this review if anything changes. When Steve rang to take the job he detailed the costs and scope of works verbally. I was quoted for £600 to remove all the Ivy from my garden fence. To which I said that's too expensive for me and instead agreed to pay £250 for a smaller job: Steve would simply trim the top layer of the IVY off and fill their trailer and dispose of the green waste. He told me he would be finished at 2:30pm. Which I assumed would be when they finish disposing of the waste. I was told the cost of the trailer rental for the day was £90. The trailer had their company logo on it... but I thought I'd be nice and pay that amount if it meant getting the Ivy off my fence as there "wasn't much in it for them jobwise". Steve asked me to help him out by paying the £250 in cash upfront. I said that's fine as long as you send an invoice later. No invoice has been sent to this date despite 3 seperate requests. I aksed my housemates to keep an eye on them while they were working as I had to leave for work. They told me they heard no signs of Steve past 10:30. My housemate took a photo of the work that had been done and it looked as though they just cleaned up and left shortly after I paid them. Despite telling me they'd finish around 2pm and had a strimmer capable of taking a big chunk of IVY off the fence in short space of time before I paid them. They didn't call me at any point to tell if the trailer was full or not, I would've been fine with them strimming more off and leaving it with me to dispose of, but they just left apparently. I phoned Steve and asked him if something went wrong. After several missed calls and no replies they told me they were in a bad situation and had to go to Leeds for two weeks and would get back to me after that point. Seems they were still working during that time based on the reviews. Very dissapointed in them.
