Matthew went out of his way to fit in the work I wanted doing despite being so busy! He obviously knows what he's talking about and did a great job. I would not hesitate to recommend him! (Reviewed February 2023)
Matt and his team worked their magic on my patio and borders - they cleared all the plants and rubbish and then laid down the 2 beds and the border - he listened to all my requirements including a water feature and 2 bronze hares and accommodated it all! He also updated my 6 outside pots and it all looks great. Matt goes the extra mile to suggest tweaks and things you never even thought about to make the job perfect. He and the guys are lovely and make sure they do an excellent job - I will be a returning customer! (Reviewed January 2023)

Matt and his team made a superb job of our patio and wooded walkway. They removed old decking and were able to reuse a fair amount to edge the wooded pathway and new stoned area, which was a bonus. Matt was always helpful, obliging and willingly responsive to any queries. Happy to discuss options and minor variations to the plans as we went along. Matt also gave some useful advice about planting options.
Great care was taken to protect the driveway with sheeting and matting, and all rubbish was cleared away leaving the garden neat and tidy. Matt, Louis and Nigel were a pleasure to have around. Hard working, professional and with great attention to detail. The end result is delightful and we are absolutely thrilled!
Thanks guys, you're a great team and we'd thoroughly recommend you! (Reviewed August 2022)
We found this family business by chance and delighted we are too. Reasonable quotes given, work started and finished on time, neighbours commented on how tidy the worker are, working in all weathers.
The actual works which included demolishing our entire outside space, rebuilding the walled patio with cladding and building a storage area way exceeded our expectations. Fencing is immaculate with top quality materials, all work has attention to detail with ascetics in mind additionally to practicalities.
Matt the owner has great ideas to improve when we didn't have the vision. His employees are hard working, helpful, courteous and take pride in a job.

Due to my husbands ill health our garden had not been touched for 2 years. What a find Matthew and his colleague were, they removed all accumulated rubbish including a zillion pots, pruned a number of trees and bushes, reduced the border sizes, laid new oak edging, replanted plants that had survived in pots, covering the completed borders with slate and laid a new lawn. A fantastic job, better than I ever could have imagined leaving me with a superb garden that I can now manage myself.

Matthew and his team completely revamped our garden in 2013. It was a mammoth job involving huge patios, complete refencing and raised beds made from sleepers, the end results is amazing. We love it. Matthew was flexible throughout the process coming up with new design ideas and making changes that we wanted as we went through. His knowledge of planting was also first class with nice mixed beds that flower throughout the season and are still interesting in the winter. The hard landscaping was also spot on and he brought in other experts when needed (for things like electrics). We could not be more pleased with the result and Matthew has returned each year to jet wash the patios and re-seal them. 3 years on and the garden just gets nicer and nicer whilst being easy to maintain (despite it being fairly large). I would whole heartedly recommend Matthew. We met a number of people before Matthew and he stood out because of his positive, laid back attitude to the work and his desire to leave us with something we really loved was obvious from the start... nothing seemed to be too much trouble, he just wanted us to be happy.
