Best Gardeners in Sherborne, Dorset (2025)

Rating: 4 / 5

We're delighted with the deck that Mark built for us. We had a third of our garden which was totally useless, on a steep slope, covered with shrubs and blocking our wonderful view. I had thought just to replant, but Mark suggested building a complete lower deck - what a transformation! We now have an amazing space on which to dine, party or just sit and enjoy the view on a fine evening. Without Mark's creativity, we would have had a much lesser space; now we have a great garden that everyone admires. I am very happy to be contacted by anyone looking to engage Mark on their own landscaping project.

We used Gardens of Illusion to landscape our garden in Bristol. The whole project involved hard and soft landscaping. We wanted a patio, a path, a pergola, raised beds, lighting and fencing. Mark worked with us in designing the garden and then built it. It was a first rate job. He is a very personable and easy person to get along with and it was a pleasure working with him. The final result exceeded our expectations and we can definitely recommend Gardens of Illusion.

Just wanted to say how incredibly impressed I was with your customer service. I bought a top of the range lawnmower from an on line retailer 3 months ago which had a fault from the start. The retailer didn’t want to know. I contacted Sherborne Turf who told me to bring it in. 2 days later I had a brand new replacement mower. As far as I am concerned Sherborne Turf defines customer service.

Amazing service from start to finish. Turf is excellent quality and doesn't use the plastic netting! Which is why I choose Sherborne, unlike Rowland and others. The lorry driver was superb and the fork lift truck made it easy. Using local companies means a small carbon footprint and supports local businesses! Photo of lawn after 2 weeks with a mix of sun and rain. Highly recommend

Very impressed first time customer here. I needed some mushroom compost and saw online that I could collect some in my own bags and 'weigh and pay' at Sherborne Turf. The end to end experience was friendly and organised with the compost itself reasonably priced. Didn't know they were here before or the range of products available but have already recommended to family.

Just wanted to say how chuffed I’ve been today as a first time customer. To take a delivery of gravel within 24 hours of ordering was excellent. Your driver had to cope with a very narrow, twisty road up into our village. He then very professionally fork lifted the sand up a slope to the perfect spot by the church - thereby saving us considerable effort. He then very skilfully u-turned in a tight spot to get out. Very efficient and friendly service with a smile.

Colin & his team have been looking after my garden in Trent for over 20 years. As well as the garden maintenance, they have undertaken a number of projects including a raised deck, a pond, and the ground preparation for my garden studio. Colin can always be reached if there is query or additional request and his team members are always friendly and polite. I am more than satisfied with the service I receive from C.S. Gardening and will be continuing the relationship for many more years.

Colin and his team have been doing routine maintenance in my garden for 3 yrs now and I am impressed with their high standard of work and professionalism. I am very pleased with the replacement fence posts and panels that they replaced last year, the original 4 panels having been ruined by the storms early last year. I would definitely recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

We found Colin to be extremely professional and informative…polite and accommodating. We were very impressed with his eye for detail and his ability to see where the the simplest of suggestions would have the most impact on improving our space. We are new to the area and have already recommended him to friends and neighbours.

Rating: 5 / 5

Colin was brilliant from the offset. We were struggling for ideas of what do and he gave some great suggestions/inspiration. The work was completed to a really high standard. Everyone was polite, professional & tidy. Communication was clear and concise throughout. We would absolutely use Colin & his team again!

Huge thanks to Ollie, Louis and Kelvin.

Nick has given us advice on tree matters at our last two houses and his advice has always been clear, friendly and competent. He has always responded without delay and done what he says he will do. If you have a problem with any tree matters, look no further. David Holland. Axminster

I met Nick Trellis on a recent project and couldn't praise his skilled informative opinions and professional approach highly enough. His approach to finding solutions was pragmatic and delivered with integrity. A great asset to have on one's team.

Nick at Hellis tree consultants has recently helped us with a planning issue in relation to an advertising sign and I have been delighted at how swiftly and efficiently he has helped us! His knowledge and experience is clear and professionalism exceeded expectations. Many thanks Nick!!

I contacted Nick Hellis Solutions for advice regarding the removal of a tree in a Conservation area - a churchyard. My inquiry was dealt with promptly and a site visit arranged. It was clear that Nick was very knowledgeable about the tree in question, was clear on the legal process, and the consequences of the damage to the curtilage wall. His written report followed very swiftly which enabled me to move the process on. I am indebted to him for his help in this matter. Very professional and competent.

I am very pleased to recommend Dorset Garden Fencing. From the detailed quote to the delivery of the new garden fence I was confident I was dealing with a professional company. The workmen did an excellent job, friendly hard workers Thanks for a job well done.

The replacing of a large fence with new posts and fencing was carried out by Luke and Jake, who worked very hard and efficiently. They were thoroughly pleasant in their dealing with us and also cleared brambles etc. behind the fence. The result of their work is entirely satisfactory.

Rating: 5 / 5

The guys that built the fence (Jake & Luke) and fitted the new gates were thorough, professional and courteous. They regularly checked-in for any decisions that needed to be made. The new gates and run of fencing look fantastic.

Maple Garden Management contacted us to ask if they could quote to do our grounds maintenance. At that time we were happy with our present team, but we decided to change and go with a local Yeovil company. Maple have provided an excellent service in looking after the grounds maintenance here at Blake Envelopes. They have a wealth of knowledge in how to look after trees, shrubs and lawns. It has been a great improvement here since they took over.

I cannot recommend Outdoor Mata’s enough! Morgan totally transformed my garden with artificial grass, two patios, fencing, gates and a brick wall - bringing my vision to life, as well as adding his own creativity and professionalism. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Morgan and Marcus - they were incredibly prompt, worked hard and very quickly. The communication and workmanship was brilliant, allowing me to trust the process fully. I now have a garden I thought I could have only dreamed of! Thank you so much!

Outdoor Mata's have absolutely transformed our garden which now looks so modern and feels much more spacious. Morgan is a master of his trade and we couldn't be happier with the service from start to finish. Roll on the summer! Thank you so much.

Really pleased with our new garden. It was a tricky space on two levels which has now been transformed with a new limestone patio & steps, brick raised bed with planting & new fencing. Morgan has done a great job, he worked with us to achieve what we wanted & we would highly recommend.

Sherborne Garden Angels laid our new patio, with steps up to an existing pergola/walkway, and installed some corten steel screens. We had a useful, initial visit from Pawel, when we discussed the scheme and the best way to proceed. Later in the year he came and carried out all the groundworks and his team then came and expertly laid the patio. We are very pleased with the finished result. Pawel and all his team were always polite and friendly; consulting with us every step of the way. We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very happy with our new patio. We had no problems at all with Garden Angels, who came when they said they would, did a good job and cleaned up afterwards. We would use them again.

Rating: 5 / 5

From our first phonecall to arrange a discussion a s to what our needs were with regard to the landscaping, and general tidy-up of our garden, right through to the completion, we cannot rate this Company highly enough. Pawel listened to our requirements, and any concerns we had, were addressed. The whole process was seamless, and we felt informed every step of the way. The staff respected our property, were punctual, polite, worked diligently throughout the whole process, and were thorough in carrying out the work. We are delighted with the results and feel we were given an excellent service

Rating: 5 / 5

Pawel and the team did a great job for us, major clean up of garden, including veggie beds and also dug a nature pond. They were a pleasure to deal with, nothing was too much trouble for them, even rescued some frogs as well. We will use them again for our next project.
