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..

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!

Adam did a fantastic job clearing my very, very overgrown garden. He turned up when he said & really did not stop until he had finished. Such a hard working young man. He was knowledgeable & very polite. Would not hesitate to use him again

James Dean Garden Maintenance have been helping me with my garden for a few years now. They have been totally fantastic. The lads are extremely professional, friendly and skilled. They always do more than I expect them to do, they are tidy and follow instructions perfectly. I originally only intended to get the help for a short while but quickly realised how invaluable they were and now I don't know what I would do without them. Highly recommend.

Just wow! Amazing service from start to finish. Our garden was in desperate need of a good tidy up, hedges and bushes all needed trimming. The guys arrived on time were very polite and did a fantastic job of making our garden look beautiful again. Would highly recommend James Dean!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

An excellent gardener with a star qualities. His work ethic and personable nature are head and shoulders above the rest. Stephen is a qualified horticulturalist with exceptional plant knowledge and experience. Many times we have gone to him for advice. Garden maintenance is just the start as he will help you in the greenhouse/nursery, choosing the right plants for your garden and produce fresh veg.

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.

We contacted Robert because we were at a loss to know what to do with our front garden of tarmac and grass. We were going to have a go ourselves with the help of a landscaper but now we are very glad that we decided to ask Robert to do a professional job. His inspired design met our brief perfectly, incorporating the practical aspects that we needed and respecting the farmhouse setting in a way that, even as keen gardeners, we could not have done. The garden is beautifully laid out and makes such imaginative use of the space that we find ourselves just gazing at it in amazement! Although only just planted it looks fabulous already. Robert and his team did a great job from start to finish. The planning process was quick and the landscaping well managed with excellent attention to the budget. We were kept informed on a day to day basis and we are very pleased with the quality of the work done. All in all we are very happy to heartily recommend Robert – he has built us a garden that will bring us pleasure every single day and is worth every penny.

It has been an incredible experience having Robert design and build our new garden. We had a very boring green square and gave Robert a few ideas of our likes and dislikes and then gave him a free reign to create a design. With his superb knowledge and expertise he has given us something truly special! Something that we would never have been able to achieve without him! We wanted something Mediterranean with no lawn and butterfly and bee friendly. I have attached some photos of the before and the after. We honestly can’t thank you enough Robert! What a privilege this has been! We can’t wait to see everything flourish into life next spring!!!

After having a kitchen extension built on to our Grade 2 listed cottage we found that a large part of the garden would require sensitive and major repairs. We contacted Robert who drew up a comprehensive plan and, along with his team constructed various areas which included new drainage and irrigation , a large native hedge, borders, bushes and shrubs. A wild life meadow was laid down and various insect friendly plants were introduced, and already we have a bee and butterfly haven. A pergola was built which has added an extra dimension, and will cleverly conceal the car parking area with future climbing plants . We are sure in future our new garden will provide us with a great deal of pleasure and as such we can highly recommend Robert.

Robert designed and constructed my idea of a garden into reality. He listened to my needs and produced a garden that matched all the requirements within budget. Robert responded quickly to emails / messages. We discussed time scale which he kept to. Took out all the stress - ordered all the plants and materials. I am so happy with my garden!
