Yet again, an excellent job carried out by Josh for Ben Gooding Gardens. Turned up right on cue, brought real structure back to our hedges, cleared everything up and was friendly and polite throughout. Look forward to using Ben and his team again in the future.

Rating: 5 / 5

Delighted with work done by Ben and his team of Sam, Josh and Ruben which included, inter alia, adding extra 18ins of gravel boards to bottom of back fence to keep out badgers and moles and then add membrane & mulch to suppress weeds; sanding down and oiling garden table, chairs and recliners and removing two very large and unsightly shrubs with more work booked in for next week. Always arrive on time, work hard and efficiently all day with minimal breaks thru any weather and tidy up afterwards. Great advice from Ben who has impressed me with his knowledge, paperwork and installing a great esprit de corps amongst his team who are a joy to have around. Highly recommended and delighted with myself for finding them !!

Josh and Sam arrived promptly and immediately set to work trimming various bushes and shrubs. They are a great team and are very amenable and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are conscientious and meticulous in whatever they do, particularly with their clearing up afterwards. Great to have around and our two dogs fell in love with them! Highly recommended and we would definitely use Ben Gooding Gardens again.

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

Carried out a major hedge trimming taking around 3 foot off, from a very large overgrown beech hedge. Excellent work, good communication, tidied up well and no hidden charges. Well recommended

Rating: 5 / 5

The jungle that was my garden was cleared today by Adam and his lad. He was really busy but knew I was waiting so as soon as a cancellation came in he let me know. Cleared everything away after and I now have a beautiful space to do something amazing with. The white bin and white metal sign on the floor have slow worms under them so he carefully checked and worked round them. Canot recommended him enough..

Rating: 5 / 5

Adam as been an absolute star. He's cleared my garden of a huge amount of ivy, cemented loose copings back onto the wall, and power-washed and repainting walls. Adam's been extremely responsive, reliable, helpful, friendly, cheerful and hardworking. I simply cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Adam!

I used West Hill to landscape the front garden at my new build house in Wedmore and I loved their work so much I commissioned them to do the hard landscaping and soil conditioning on the back garden too. The work involved creating gravel paths with metal edging, natural stone paving on raised foundations and feature areas with crushed slate. The work was completed on schedule at the price agreed.

Rating: 5 / 5

We were very happy with the pruning and other gardening work carried out by West Hill. The team was friendly, efficient and tidy, with good communication before, during and after the job. We will definitely call on their services again in the future. Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

The West Hill team did a first class job terracing an area of our garden for us. They worked exceptionally hard (the work involved a lot of manual digging) and with care and skill to create exactly what we asked for. (Terracing a bank using oak sleepers). The guys were friendly, polite and respectful of our property at all times. We would have no hesitation recommending West Hill for landscaping work.

Rating: 5 / 5

West Hill have just completed our garden and outdoor living space scheme. The service was excellent from beginning to end, the standard of work and professionalism was really first class and we are delighted with the end result. We would highly recommend this local Wells company for all landscaping works
