The Best Gardeners in West Lulworth, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Hugh and his team have taken on regular maintenance for our holiday cottage near Swanage. They have been so professional, communicative and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough and it's a breath of fresh air to find a team so reliable and responsive after being let down in the past by other businesses. The garden was in a very overgrown state which they successfully got back to a manageable level and created a space to enjoy once again, they really went above and beyond and were very respectful to carefully go through the plants and let me know what was salvageable. On top of this, Hugh has consistently shared his ideas to improve the garden and provided his in depth knowledge and concepts for planting which I love and am so appreciative of especially as we do not live near by. The team is extremely courteous to our guests and always check with them before they enter and any work commences. Thank you for all your hard work so far!

Sunnydale Gardens is a really first rate operation. Hugh Shone is very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and full of excellent ideas. He is also completely reliable and a real pleasure to have around. He has transformed our gardens with excellent maintenance and innovative new plantings. Cannot recommend Sunnydale Gardens highly enough!

Life has changed very much for the better since Hugh has come to garden for us. Nothing is too much trouble, and it is all done with a smile.

The Sunnydale GardensTeam really helped us with preparing the ground in a new planting scheme - as have alot of planting to come over the next month! Look forward to working with them again in the future - would highly recommend :)

They listened to what we wanted, made helpful suggestions to achieve it at the most economical cost. They worked tidily and with consideration for the neighbours, coping with the awkward access to site. The finished patio is beyond our expectations, and was completed to time and on budget. Highly recommended!

DDB was contacted in July 2023 concerning damage to an area of 45mm Paving spanning frontage of property having become uneven due roots of a conifer. Inspection, advice, and expert opinion was requested and obtained when on 10/07/2023 he assessed the damage, produced a detailed specification including 3 Options, Landscape Digitally signed Agreement and Payment Schedule. Option2 was selected, Legal Documentation signed and work commenced on 26/08/2023, completing in a week. From our first meeting it was clear Peter was a professional dedicated to completing tasks in highest order. He was personally in touch daily or by email. His team were punctual and worked well in harmony Ellis carrying out a magnificent job laying a new pathway. Highly recommended. J M Logue

Pete, Jordan, and their team worked with our charity, Access Dorset, to design, build and plant a stunning, award winning, Sensory Garden. They took on board the ideas of our disabled members and involved them where possible in the work. They helped reduce the cost for the charity through their generosity and that of their suppliers. The garden is now enjoyed by hundreds of disabled and older people every year. The Sensory Garden won Gold and Overall Class Winner in the Environmentally Friendly Spaces Category of Bournemouth in Bloom 2018. Pete supports our charity on an ongoing basis, supplying us with recycled timber for our woodwork vocational training project. I cannot recommend Dorset Design and Build highly enough - Jonathan Waddington-Jones, Chief Executive, Access Dorset Charity No. 1142171

Designed and landscaped a small garden for our new build, including laying a new patio. Really happy with the company from start to finish. Jordan took time to get to know what we wanted and revised out designs a number of times, all the while sticking to our agreed budget. The guys that came out to do the ground work were quick and professional, even in very wet weather. They were happy to come back and sort a few minor issues with the patio with no fuss and have made a point of making sure we are really happy with our new garden. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Matt and his team are incredible! My grass just wasn't "grassing" and decided I wanted a nice, neat easy to maintain patio area. They came promptly on time every morning and started working hard straight away. The team are perfectionists, taking huge pride in the work that they do. Each one has their own role to play resulting in "the dream team". Matt went above and beyond not only delivering exactly what he said but cutting back and trimming anything that he thought needed it to the side of the house, back and front! They are all meticulous in their work with added care and detail into everything they do. I didn't bother getting quotes from anyone else, I went with my gut and was not disappointed. I highly recommend hiring Matt and his team for any gardening work you need. A* service!

Matt and his trusty team spent 5 weeks removing a huge old tree stump, levelled the garden and built a new patio and steps. Our garden has been totally transformed and we are thrilled! Throughout the weeks Matt kept us fully up to date with their progress and also gave us great advice and ideas along the way. Job was done on time ( team worked through torrential rain and muddy conditions) and true to estimate. Garden and drive was kept clean & tidy as possible. Cannot fault Matthew in any way and recommend 100%. We’ve already got him advising us on a second job!

A couple of months ago Matt and his young team undertook a major landscaping project for us. We wanted a landscaper who would be reliable and they were exceptional.The fact that our garden slopes quite steeply and most of the work was at the top made it quite a challenge. They were prompt each day and finished the work on schedule. The standard of work was to a high quality and we adopted many of Matt’s ideas. We are really pleased with the outcome and are looking forward to enjoying our garden for many years to come. They were really professional and the team worked even on a day when there was heavy rain.

Found Matt online and he had lots of excellent reviews. He quoted a reasonable price for the work (and the taking away of lots of rubbish) and was able to fit me in quickly as he had a project finishing soon. He and his team took down and removed an old shed and cut back (and removed) a large amount of laurel hedging. The job was done quickly, professionally and his team left the area tidy. Was very happy with the work done and would recommend Matt and his team.

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!

James Dean Garden Maintenance can be highly recommended for all aspects of garden maintenace. On moving to a house with a very neglected garden, our family greatly appreciated their skill in renovating whole areas, including building raised beds, planting good quality shrubs and plants. Since then regular maintenance by professional, knowledgeable, friendly staff, familiar with our garden, continue to keep it all in excellent condition.

The team came in and did an amazing job, cant thank them enough. Matt and team are incredible, I would highly recommend.

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.

We had a full rear garden, side passage, and feather board fence make-over. Levelled, sleepers, feature patio all geometrically blending together. The work carried out was of the highest quality and with exceptional attention to detail. Moreover, Pablo offered constructive alternate ideas from his obvious experience, which complimented the project. Well worth the money. We would definitely recommend.

The CHS team are all lovely, knowledgeable, and hardworking people. They’ve done multiple projects for us now, and I’m over the moon with everything they’ve done. Pablo is always on hand when we have questions or when things come up, even months after the project is finished. He cares about doing good work for people, and that’s evident in his team, their work ethic, and the finished product.

Pablo and his talented, hard working, helpful, polite and reliable team recently made our dreams come true. Our garden was bland and not very easy to use, they transformed it and the finished result was beyond our exceptions, a perfect garden and beyond our wildest dreams. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Pablo was quick to respond to our initial enquiry and suggested ideas for our driveway / garden design. Work was carried out at the agreed time by his friendly and polite team. We are extremely pleased with the final result. Pablo is very professional and the work ethic demonstrated by him and his team is excellent. Special mention to Ryan who did an amazing job

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

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 replaced a feather edge fence for us. It is on a slope with a couple of changes of angle thrown in - not the easiest job! He worked hard with only short breaks, overcoming any problems as he went. He even dealt calmly and tactfully with a 'difficult neighbour situation '. We are very pleased with our new fence. Adam is a pleasant, polite and professional young man and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

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..

I had an issue with my neighbour having Japanese Knotweed and bamboo. I had a few suggestions from 3 companies and went for Your Eco Gardener. They have a specialist, and I felt quite safe with the advice. They installed a special barrier along my property, which is meant to stop the bamboo coming over to my side. The work was done and looks tidy (although I'm no expert). Hopefully, it'll do the job! Thank you all so much.

Really pleased with the work from Benn and the team, they are really friendly and helpful, they transformed my front and back garden for me, making them enjoyable spaces, thank you so much and I highly recommended them.

Another amazing gardening session with Gee and Elliott this morning. Two of the best! They work so hard and always go the extra mile. A pleasure to be with so thank you once again - I really appreciate everything you do and cannot recommend highly enough - just wonderful?

Fantastic company to have work done by. The gardeners were very professional and would definitely recommend to any one looking to have their garden sorted.

Joshua was very polite and helpful fantastic customer service. Joshua came over to my house a few times to help me decide what I wanted for my ramp outside my front door I'm very pleased with the outcome would recommend Minster maintenance

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.

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!

Joshua and his team are so professional and trustworthy. Dave, lovely guy, laid our new patio and Jake was on hand to help with maintaining our borders and installing new edging. They left everything really tidy and were professional and polite. We are delighted with our garden transformation! Would highly recommend Minster Maintenance! Thank you to Joshua and his team!

Came to do a basic tidy of Front and back garden. And WOW what a great job they did , if this the level of just a basic tidy up. I would hate to think how good a full on tidy up be. Will definitely use SW gardening again. Thanks Gary

Couldn't be happier with my new fencing. It's really transformed my garden and it only took SW gardening less than 3 days to do the entire side of my property. Super happy with the quality and the price. If you're looking for a fencing company or garden landscaper in Bournemouth, these guys are by far the best. Thanks Shaun.

From my first contact with Becky to job finished by Pete and Shaun the service couldn’t be better. I was provided with a quote, what deposit was required and why this was needed. Becky provided a start date and the guys turned up on time. Both really polite..I was asked prior to them leaving if all had been completed as I hoped. Will use again.

A truly outstanding job done super cleanly, on time and budget by Shaun and Peter. They diligently and carefully removed all old grotty pointing and then repointed our large porcelain patio and levelled up one or two slabs that had become a bit wobbly over time. One day the patio work was rained off so these super guys agreed to trim our very significant hedges and take away all waste/cuttings. Again they did a wonderful job, paying particular attention to clearing up afterwards, of extra importance to us as the access to our garden is via the garage and kitchen so awkward and tight to say the least! When they had finished there was literally no sign of their presence in either kitchen or garage! We were amazed at how clean they were! Can’t recommend them highly enough and we will be us using them again as needed. Thank you SWG!
