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!

Morgan did a fab job doing a post and rail fence for my horse’s paddock. Making use of many existing posts as possible, saving me a few pennies! Looks great and would 100% recommend and use again!

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.

Really excellent experience with Ben, Josh & Sam bringing my untamed garden back under control for the winter. A lot of hedge-trimming and shaping needed, together with fruit trees to be smartly pruned, lawn mowing and general clearing out of dead stuff and weeding. Working very efficiently over a couple of days, they transformed the garden back to how it should have been and it's now a pleasure to look at again. The guys were all very pleasant to have around, hard-working, no fuss, and communication both on the day and in the lead up to the visit was also excellent which was appreciated. I've no hesitation in recommending this company.

Excellent service from Minster Maintenance. Special thanks to Luke and Mike who worked tirelessly over two days to cut back and prune some very high and long hedges in two gardens and a shared lane serving four properties. Very polite and helpful. Arrived on time and cleared everything away. Great job!

Josh and the team were really helpful and reliable. They removed and disposed of our old slippery decking and laid a great patio area and steps to the garden. They identified unknown issues and always came up with practical solutions. The old fencing was replaced with new panels and flower bed tidied. Very pleased with the work and happily recommend them.

I run a professional tourism business and have relied on Benger Landscaping to look after my camp site, holiday accommodations and other grounds for many years. This is a thoroughly professional company who have the latest machinery such as American Scag mowers for a speedy job. I am always impressed with the professionalism of the staff, especially Alex, who is always punctual, polite and swift. His knowledge is tremendous and a great asset to the company. Should I need additional assistance I can rely upon my account manager Mark to give expert guidance. It's always reassuring to deal with a local company who will go the extra mile to ensure I am satisfied with the work carried out including a regular check by the account manager of the properties involved. I find it very important when dealing with the public that I use a company that is property insured. They carry out regular H&S assessments of the jobs they undertake, their staff have relevant certification when undertaking dangerous work such as tree surgery with chain saws & hedge cutters and that all pesticides are legal and compliant on land. I would not hesitate to recommend this exceptionally well run firm - whose proprietor is always on hand if needed.

We recently had a couple of gardening jobs done at our holiday let property, including replacement sleepers for a raised bed. Nick, Fabian and Tyler all did a great job with great communication backed up with before, during and after photos which was particularly helpful as we are not local. They even took away some old garden furniture for us - a much appreciated added bonus!

The 15 year-old wooden fence surrounding our small garden had started to rot, was bulging from an excess of foliage resting against it , had begun to warp and despite valiant attempts to paint and preserve the wood, I was only putting off the inevitable as the fence really was in need of repair - if not total replacement. Given its position in the centre of the development, the fence needed to be assembled to a better standard than my own DIY skills would allow and so the project to have it re- built professionally was born. I trawled the advertisements in the usual places and got a feel for who was offering the services we needed. I was shocked at the price of wood. Once I realised that the cost would vastly exceed my own original estimate, I knew I’d need help from an established company and one that had a proven track record of quality of service. The recommendation to consider approaching TBL came from our local Chamber of Commerce and Mark came round to get an initial idea of what the work would entail. I had no hesitation at accepting TBL’s quotation and was surprised at how quickly the job could be scheduled. To keep costs down, I offered to remove the old fence myself. An introduction to Ryan - who would be a great project manager enabled Mark to iron out any concerns I had about the work and he also arranged for me to meet with Fabian, who would be crafting the fence on site. The building of the fence took just 6 days. Fabian and Tyler worked in all weathers to get everything done - helped along the way by Matt and Dan. It really was a pleasure having the team around the house and the finished product looks fabulous. It was quite the privilege to witness first hand, some really marvellous skills. Our gratitude and thanks go to you all.
