Client Reviews

Ben has maintained my garden for about a year. He is reliable and thorough. I leave it to Ben to determine what needs to be done in my garden, and he keeps it looking beautiful. I would certainly recommend him.

As a qualified horticulturalist, Ben has an encyclopedic knowledge of plants and has been instrumental in maintaining and developing my garden. Ben is professional, reliable and charges very reasonably. I won't use anyone else and I recommend him without hesitation.

Ben has been my regular gardener for almost 2 years, for a large property that needs fruit tree pruning, bush hedging, weeding, and lawn sowing and cutting. Ben is very knowledgeable of all plants and what needs to be done, which he carries out efficiently and without fuss. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone who needs a reliable, hardworking and professional gardener/horticulturist.
