Our Experience

I've been gardening as a hobby and for friends for many years and learning through research, practice and on the job training. I enjoy the experiences of meeting new people and overcoming problems that need solving and love growing my own veggies. 
After being made redundant from the property industry (3 times in 3 years!) I decided to take the plunge and haven't looked back.
A lot of effort and hardwork goes into making your garden right for you and your lifestyle.
I enjoy planting different schemes but my shrub of the moment is 'Sarcococca Confusa (Christmas Box)'. With an amazing scent, leathery leaves and masses of tiny, white fragrant flowers in late Winter through into Spring.

Gardening & garden design job in RG4

Avoid this tradesman. He fooled us by accepting the work of garden clearance for £30 and right in the middle of the work asked for £150. When we refused to pay £150, he asked for an hours pay of £25. Finally agreed to accept £15 - for doing practically nothing and only causing frayed nerves and waste of time. He did not come with right equipments or vehicle for garden clearance.

Gardening & garden design job in RG1

Did a fantastic job on my small garden - spruced it up, painted the shed, uprooted unwanted shrubs, planted new ones. Chris was really friendly and helpful and gave me useful advice. No job seemed too big or too small. I definitely recommend him and will use him again.
