The Best Gardeners in Forest Hill, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

I would highly recommend Terra Firma, they have transformed our garden as shown in the before and after photos. They stuck to timings and costs throughout, very reliable communication channel with Adam, and Sergei and Oleg are men of few words but mighty deeds and an incredible range of skills that delivered exactly what we wanted.

Right from the start when Josh from Terra Firma came to give us a quote for a replacement fence, they have been great to deal with. They gave a detailed quote, with different options, and were competitive compared to five other quotes. They were flexible on start times to fit in with our needs. George and Lee worked hard over four days in sometimes awful weather, including thunder storms, and didn't falter when unexpected things came their way, like huge ivy roots. They helped our neighbours to cut down some of their overgrown ivy roots. The garden is on a slope with a wood at the rear. They had to adapt the fence to allow for the different levels. Both we and our neighbours are really pleased with the end result. George and Lee very kindly offered to lug our own large bags of garden waste through my house so we can add it to our garden waste collection bin at the front. They did us a huge favour and chopped down a very overgrown holly (a small tree). Highly recommend and will definitely use again for any garden design/maintenance.

We could not be happier with our wall (and back garden fence too). The Terra Firma guys building it were so good at their job, were happy to discuss the work, advise and make changes. They also could not have been more thoughtful when walking through the house – always laying dust sheets or taking their boots off, and taking care not to let the cats out, or the cold in. Neighbours have admired the wall too, and asked us for details of the company. A perfect job!

We had our rear garden fencing replaced and it has truly transformed the appearance of our garden. From the first visit by Josh to the onsite work carried out by Luke and Harry we can't praise them highly enough. Luke and Harry were friendly and approachable and were meticulous in their work, true artists at work and their attention to detail was exemplary. Thank you for a wonderful job, we would highly recommend Terra Firma.

Helen and Steve did a fantastic job of our garden, making the most of a complicated layout and giving us a revitalised outdoor space with wonderful planting that we’ve been using non-stop all summer.

Helen and Steve did a fantastic job designing, landscaping and planting our small garden. They worked very quickly and all their team were friendly, polite, and cleared up beautifully. The project came in under budget and we are really pleased with the lovely space we can now enjoy. Thoroughly recommended.

Helen did a fantastic job designing our garden. After an on-site visit to talk us through some ideas, she soon followed up with a garden design and detailed quote. Her friendly team were professional and did an amazing job building our raised flower beds and corner bench. Helen’s tree and plant selection really brought it all together and created a great outside family space for us.

Helen, Steve and their team have transformed and maintained our garden over the years and are brilliant to work with. They can turn their hand to anything and bring amazing plant and tree knowledge along with loads of ideas for hard landscaping, fencing and raised beds etc. They have worked so hard through rain, sleet and snow and I would highly recommend them.

Niccolo and the team has been maintaining our garden for a number of years. Each time I am impressed by their work and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are hard working and work to a very high standard.

I have known Niccolo for some nine years, and highly rate his work and that of his team. In particular, I value the real knowledge of plants and how to prune climbers and trees, where the beauty of the outcome is evident for months afterwards. A 'real' gardener.

Fantastic and friendly service. Did very high quality work on our garden fence. Got the job done on time and in line with the quote. Left everything tidy afterwards. Highly recommended.

We had several garden jobs done by them. They built fences for us this time. Always true to cost, professional and clean.

Alex had done work at our house in May 2024 which was replacing our fencing but asked him back to replace our decking. As before he and his team did a fantastic job and we’re so pleased with the outcome. His quote was spot on and his workmanship was second to none. Job completed without fuss and he was always punctual, polite and respectful. Have recommended him to family and friends and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Will definitely use Alex again!

Alex did an absolutely wonderful job replacing a fence panel that had fallen down in our back garden. I would definitely recommend him to everyone and anyone! He was polite, honest, informative, hard-working and affordable. He was punctual and respectful of the property when he arrived to carry out the work. He carried out the work quickly and efficiently and to a very high quality. I would definitely use him again.

Alex and his team did an amazing job on my front and back gardens. Both gardens were in a terrible state before and Alex and his team did a complete makeover. Alex had really good ideas about things we hadn’t thought about, gave us lots of great advice and we’re super happy with the outcome! Alex & his team turned up early everyday, worked until late (even in the dark and pouring rain!) and left everything neat and tidy each day. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Grateful to have found Alex and his crew! They transformed our garden space with new fences, paving, and artificial turf with such great care and professional. Communications with him from pre to post were world class too. Cannot recommend Alex highly enough. Thank you for exceeding our expectations and turning our vision into a reality!

We had our garden landscaped by Bramble and Rose. Blair was extremely helpful and flexible on timings and worked with the budget we had. I would say the works were competitively priced and the standard was excellent. We now have a perfectly laid sandstone patio surrounded by beds. The new fences look fantastic. All was finished to a very high standard and we would definitely recommend Bramble and Rose.

Just had my front and rear garden completely renovated by Bramble and Rose and couldn't be happier with the process and result. They cleared the gardens, erected 3 x fences, laid a new front path and rear patio, laid an artificial lawn in the rear garden and pebbles in the front to keep the cost down. Great communication both before and during the job, great price, great workmanship. They turned up on time every day and worked solidly all day every day til the job was finished. Mess was minimal and cleared up each day, despite the only access to the rear garden being through the house, and they moved an awful lot of material in and out. Really nice people to deal with - Blair, Lawrence and Francis are all great people and it was genuinely nice to have them around. They take pride in their work, and the finish is great. There were a couple of issues that arose during the job which were explained to me clearly and rectified quickly. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bramble and Rose to anyone looking for a landscape gardener and will definitely use them again in future should the need arise!

We have just had new garden fencing installed by Bramble and Rose and want to say how completely delighted we are with it. Blair, Laurence and Francis are really knowledgeable, skilled and generally fantastic. We chose them because they are gardeners and so could advise and look after our very overgrown garden as well as put in a long overdue new fence (we had been living abroad for 3 years with tenants in our house so the garden was very unloved). They have totally transformed our garden (they did some garden maintenance as well as the fence work) and we are so pleased with the results - the garden looks about twice the size. My 9 year old said " how is there so much more space?!". Blair, Laurence and Francis are really good to have around and were great with my curious children who enjoyed watching them work and asking questions! They might want to consider a sideline in babysitting ... I am so glad we chose them and I strongly recommend them for any garden, fencing and landscaping work.

Bramble & Rose built us a shed base, replaced our fences and built an amazing raised bed with seating area. Blair and his team got everything done within the quoted time (in spite of some pretty grotty weather that week...!) They understood exactly what we wanted to do in the garden and made it into a great use of the space. The team at Bramble and Rose were great - it was easy to communicate with them over email or phone and we'd definitely recommend working with them again.

We had Richard over twice so far - once to do our front hedge and another time for our back garden and we're really pleased with how tidy and healthy everything turned out. Really knowledgeable and kind!

“Bes Landscapes built a small, odd shaped garden in Streatham to my design and specification without me once having to go on site to check them. Bes communicated with me clearly and regularly showing me how the garden was progressing. When they came across an issue, Bes had a ready and positive solution to solve the problem. He initiated ideas thoughtfully and tactfully. Access to the site was difficult yet the team worked without complaint, with great consideration and a strong “can do” attitude. My client was delighted with the whole team and I would highly recommend them. Gilly Leach Garden Design.”

Bes and his team were great. Bes came to quote at short notice on a Sunday! He was very clear with his advice about the best products to use and the planting. The work on our garden was completed on one day at a weekend, to our convenience, with minimal disruption to us and our neighbours. We are delighted with the outcome. It was only a small project, but nonetheless important to us. Bes was professional, polite and helpful at all times. I would highly recommend Bes Landscapes.

Bes and his team worked tirelessly to transform our bland back garden into a beautiful, well constructed and relaxing paradise. He was very happy to make recommendations and consult with us throughout the project to make sure we were happy with the results. And we are so pleased with what his team has achieved! I strongly recommend Bes to anyone considering work on their garden!

My garden designer recommended Bes and it has been a sheer delight working with him and his team. They have constructed a beautiful garden, with high quality workmanship. Bes has listened to any questions that I had and always provided solutions. He has kept me informed of progress and his team have turned up on time every morning.They have worked really hard and been considerate of my neighbours. Bes kept within the quote given to me. I would recommend Bes Landscape Ltd without any hesitation and if I ever have need of a landscaping company again Bes will be the first person I call.

Konstantin and his team at Green at Home did a fabulous job replacing my garden fence. They responded quickly to my online request & within a week I had my new fence installed. On the day the team were professional, polite & super quick. They gave me exactly what I requested & kept me informed along the way. They also cleaned up after, leaving both gardens tidy. Really great service. I can't fault it. Thank you

Responsible for managing an industrial estate in Stratford. Instructed Garden At Home Ltd based upon reviews off Google. Wanted to use a local company. Contacted Konstantin earlier in the week who arranged to visit the same day. Discussed requirements over the telephone but essentially the grounds maintenance of an industrial estate yard which had become overgrown with weeds, strewn with rubbish and waste. Price agreed and arranged to attend the following day. Work carried out to a very high standard and extremely pleased. Recommend and will definitely use the company again. Thank you.

My experience with Green At Home is very positive. They did a great job on my new (and neglected) front garden, and it now looks much better and is ready for some spring flowers to be planted. Good comunication and quick to finish the work.

It's always such a great day out whenever we visit here! The gardens are always meticulously maintained and have an array of beautiful flowers for visitors to enjoy.

I regularly trade at the Sunday market in the Bandstand. It's a lovely community vibe with plenty food options and craft stalls. Open every Sunday from 10-4pm

More for the younger people, it is an oasis of green hilly relative peace. Aquarium is small, but for young people, interesting. Dinosaurs, world objects, masses of musical instruments. Some parts require payment. Food is not cheap,but is very good quality. Museum and cafe easy to navigate with a wheelchair, but outside is very hilly. Electric wheelchair or a fit pusher required!!

Beautiful gardens they are open earlier than the museum which is a bonus. They are elegantly done. Rich colours and manicured lawns for people of all ages to enjoy. Its free and so very well looked after. Plenty of benches to relax on to see the world go by. I came here for the museum and I got to enjoy a food market that served roasted pork, rum Baba, burgers and hotdogs. They also had some low alcohol beers and ales which was a plus to enjoy. Sunday is the day to go and I'm glad I went. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend here if you live locally a real gem. Also on a clear day you get amazing views
