We contacted Alumhurst Garden Services to remove 2 overhanging trees obstructing a public footpath from our business. Dominic was fantastic, he understood the urgency of our situation, he and his team came to remove the trees the same day despite the awful rain and wind. They were very efficient and professional. Would highly recommend!!!

Dominic was professional, clean, tidy and respectful. He checked in at all times that the work he was doing was exactly what I was expecting. He has made my garden habitable again.

Totally recommend Dom and his Team. They made a great job of our overgrown hedge. Such a lovely group- friendly, reliable, tidy and efficient. Would happily ask Alumhurst Garden Services to come back again to help in the future. Thank you so much!

Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of shrubs and hedging. As well as a nice variety of geraniums I noticed today 💟

I bought a dozen or so small griselinia shrubs to replace my awful conifer hedging, they are very bushy with lots of new growth and doing very well. Received great advice and great service, always able to give useful suggestions for right-plant-right-place & for mulching products. Thank you

Always helpful staff. We'll laid out. None of the trappings of a 'chain' garden centre, helps keep the prices very reasonable.

Fabulous customer service. Five stars. BUT I have dropped to 4 stars for price and availability. Compared to other local nurseries, Brackendale are on the high side and have very limited stock. However, they are excellent to deal with and have a beautiful Nursery. You really should go out of your way to visit them. Especially for hedging. They have spectacular mature hedges which give an excellent idea of what your garden could look like. Well done, a lovely business.

We've used Steve Cheese for some years now, and I think our garden looks great (even if I do say so myself!). Last year, we had a BIG family birthday / garden party and Steve helped us get the garden into tip-top shape for that. Steve also cuts the hedges every year and does a great job. Steve's knowledge of plants has been a godsend. If you want the best, I can heartily recommend Steven for a regular service.

We have found Steve very helpful in completely managing our garden for us. He "just gets on with it" and offers great advice on what plants to put where and when to do it. He always lets us know what day and at what time he will be coming and replies promptly to any queries we may raise. His work ethic is amazing, but will gratefully accept a cup of builders tea, if offered. All in all, we are totally pleased with everything he has done for us and would confidentially recommend him to anyone looking for a gardener.

Stephen has a first class work ethic, no corners cut, everything completed to an exceptionally high standard. I’d have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, a real pleasure.

Stephen is an experienced gardener who has a good eye for seeing what needs to be done. His experience also makes him very efficient with the time spent. My garden is looking so much healthier and happier since he came along to take care of it.

A reliable team of capable, knowledgeable and experienced gardeners who quickly developed a sympathetic understanding of our cottage garden and who can be relied upon to undertake its restoration and upkeep in a sensitive manner . We discuss our ideas together and we have confidence in them to work unsupervised as they did recently while we enjoyed a long holiday.. It was a pleasure to return home.....

Wonderful chaps to deal with. Very professional and good value. Good quality turf. I've dealt with Twin Oaks for over thirty years.

Rating: 5 / 5

I phoned to enquire about turf price and availability, very polite and helpful chap on end of phone, I went to collect 30 sq yds at £4.00 per yard, young lad very helpfully helped me load it all up. Must say I’ve used this firm a few times now and cannot fault them or the quality of the turf, thank you all at twin oaks, see you again soon.

The Three Legged Cross Hilliers is a restaurant I often visit with my mother when I come down from London. It's a great place to take her for breakfast, as each experience is new for her due to her dementia. Today was an exceptional visit, thanks to Elisha (James), whose customer service was impeccable accompanied by an infectious smile and was incredibly welcoming. Elisha was also very attentive and accommodating to all of our needs, and the vegetarian breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. Thank you, Elisha, for making our morning so wonderful. You not only made me smile, but you also made my mum's day. We left the restaurant with big grins on our faces, thanks to your wonderful approach.
