Best Gardeners in Eltham, Greater london (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

We have a small back garden in Greenwich that we had not really used in the four years since we moved in. An old shed took up much of the space and the rest of the garden was planted with large trees and bushes, leaving little available space to enjoy. We asked Catherine to design a patio garden that we could spend lots of time in and have various areas for entertaining. She came up with a really excellent solution that maximized the available space and gave us both a seating and dining area. Importantly there was also lots of room for planters that have a really nice mix of flowers, plants and trees. We worked closely with her to finalise the design and then used a garden landscaper that Catherine had used before and rated highly. This worked perfectly as he and his team were excellent, produced a very high quality finish and liaised at all stages with Catherine to iron out any issues. We could not be happier with the result – we spend as much time as possible in the garden now and have had lots of friends round to enjoy it.

Catherine was very responsive from first contact onwards. She came to see my garden in East London and after a little conversation understood what I was looking for and came up with a design, working with me all the time, that was perfect for me. She was friendly and approachable, happy to answer questions on the phone, and the design itself was very detailed. She also understood and worked within my budget. She recommended a landscaper and I now have a beautiful new garden that is exactly what I wanted, though I didn’t quite know that before she designed it! I highly recommend Catherine to anyone who wants a sympathetic re-design of their garden.

After a house extension the garden needed a full redesign. Catherine, despite her full scheduled, responded promptly and in very little time produced a selection of designs reflecting my needs and suggestions. Her no grass design won me over and now I am in the garden all the time enjoying my slice of paradise. From hard landscaping to lighting, planting and irrigation Catherine thought of everything. She was always available for consultation throughout the building process and we spent time together choosing plants. Within a short period of time the garden went from a building site to a well established and wonderful space. Catherine still comes around to check how the garden is doing and brings along some cuttings and seedlings from her own garden. Working with Catherine has been so easy and a pleasure from beginning to end. The front garden is next and I will not hesitate to call Catherine again.

I employed Catherine's Garden Design Services to totally re-design my front garden to create an impactful, garden to compliment my home which I had recently had renovated. I was very keen to work with a locally based business and am so glad I did. Catherine took time to discuss my requirements & creative inspiration and created the most wonderful design taking all of this into consideration. This included the hard landscaping, lighting, irrigation & of course the planting layouts. Catherine was an absolute pleasure to work with, responsive & highly professional she guided me on every step of the journey and oversaw the planting day. She has created the garden of my dreams, I really could not be more happy and therefore highly recommend her services.

The reviews are true. Not only is the product fantastic, the whole service is superb from ordering, delivery, customer service and ongoing support. These guys are great, if you've got any hesitation, get in touch with them and you will quickly understand why everyone is so happy with them. I will be using them again and again. They answer any questions quickly and with all the information you need. Dispatch orders very quickly. Packaging is solid and reasonable (not giant boxes for the sake of it) Comms are amazing, instant replies. Couldn't be happier.

Hands down will always be the best soil you'll ever get your hands on, when people say they grow fire on tap water and soil it really ain't a lie! Those who have tried it stay religious to it, the games changed and this is the only way forward

We had a brilliant service from Crown Tree Surgeons from start to finish and l would highly recommend them. We are very pleased with the results.When David came to see the trees we needed cutting back, he was super helpful. knowledgeable and explained the best way forward. When the guys came to do the work they were friendly, polite, helpful and very professional. There were three men and their ' roles ' in the process were clearly organised. As we have no side exit from the garden all the cuttings ( and there was a lot!) were taken through the house to the mulching machine. A protective matting was put down on the flooring and when they had finished the guys cleared up completely, inside and out. Thank you so much we will definitely use Crown Tree Surgeons again!

Recommended to me by a neighbour who was impressed with their work. Thoroughly professional throughout. Quote received promptly, they did all of the planning approval work for us as we are in a conservation area and the work was completed soon after planning permission received. A friendly crew who worked quickly and tidied up after themselves. I have happily referred them on to neighbours who need tree works done.

Would highly recommend. David was very knowledgeable and a great help from our first meeting. We’re really pleased with the outcome, he and his team on the day were very professional, they carried out the agreed work and left the area tidier than when they arrived. Pricing was fair and we’d definitely use Crown Tree Surgeons again.

Very happy with the tree survey supplied by Crown Tree Surgeons. We had been asked to produce a tree survey by our local authority as we currently have a planning application to build a flat roof extension. David talked us through the process, gave us his time when we met in person explaining what the report contains and how it is used by the planning department. Overall I am very happy with the no fuss approach and would recommend Crown Tree Surgeons to anyone looking for a tree survey.

What a brilliant team Urban Gardeners are! From booking the service, to completing the job, they are complete professionals. The gardeners arrived early and were super efficient in clearing my garden. And the added bonus is they charge a great price. I mentioned to them I will be looking into landscaping at some point in the not too distant future and would not look anywhere else for this. I have also recommended them to my sister. Thank you, see you again in approximately 6 weeks!

Usually my Dad takes care of the garden, but because of his recent health issues the garden had become really overgrown. I tried to tackle it myself, but I didn’t have the right tools for the job. I started looking for a company to clear the garden, which is when I discovered Urban Gardeners online and contacted them. Correspondence with Plamena was superb: all emails were answered promptly and professionally. Pricing was clearly explained and I was happy to proceed with a mutually agreed date and time. The two gentlemen that came to the house were polite, considerate to our home, and amongst the hardest working people I’ve ever encountered. The weather was really hot on the day they came, but they still grafted despite the heat. They did an excellent job of clearing our garden, and were done within an hour (initially we thought it would take 3hrs). So even with us also paying for removal of the garden waste, it was still cheaper than we expected. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I’ve already recommended them to several of my colleagues and clients. If in the future I can persuade my Dad to pave or turf the garden this is the company I’ll be calling.

The team at Urban Gardeners did a great job, completely transforming our garden in 3 days. They cleared the garden, removed trees, built a fence and laid a new lawn. Lovely to work with, speedy, thorough, tidy and prompt!

A huge thank you to the Urban Gardeners team for transforming our garden here in Peckham, SE London. The garden was previously in very bad shape (rotten decking, steps, and dying / weed-ridden lawn. The team did an amazing job of clearing everything out (including removal of a tree!) and then building an entirely new and extended hard-wood deck and stairs / landing and also replacing the lawn with the beautiful stripes you can see! Communication throughout from Plamena was great and with the team on the ground they were very good at asking questions and making small adjustments as required throughout the process. I requested a few small changes to the initial quote and this was dealt with in a very friendly and flexible way. The team were very pleasant throughout, got rid of all the mess, and also did the whole thing for a very fair and reasonable price. Would 100% recommend to people who are looking for high quality garden / landscaping work done for affordable prices. Thank you! Harrison & Camilla
