Olive Tree Landscaping helped us to completely redesign our town house’s front garden, making what was a dark shaded area dominated by an overgrown tree that needed removal into a light sunny area we can use more and which is now the envy of our neighbours. We contacted them after seeing the great work they did on a nearby property. The team were fantastic, with great communication and top notch customer service and an excellent work product, delivering everything we asked of them. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a great service and they will definitely be our first port of call in the future if we need any more work.

We are very happy with the work done by Krystof and his team in transforming an overgrown and neglected small plot into a spacious gravel garden and seating area. The team was punctual and worked efficiently. They were happy to make changes along the way. The work was completed within the scheduled time frame. I have no hesitation in recommending Olive Tree Landscaping.

Kris and his team worked with my garden designer to create an amazing garden for me and I am thrilled with the results. They were reliable, friendly, punctual, and kept me informed about progress and costs throughout the duration of the project. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail and dedication to making every aspect of my garden perfect. I recommend them as highly skilled and professional landscapers.

We used Kris and his team for the hard landscaping of both our front and back gardens. We had a new patio and pathway, which was finished perfectly with lots of attention to detail. We also had new turf layed, a new gravel area created in the back garden and our entire front garden dug over to improve the drainage. Our gardens have been transformed from a shady boggy mess to something that now looks beautiful. Kris and his team were very friendly, professional and easy to work with, nothing was too much to ask. I would highly recommend Kris and his team for any landscaping work.

Tamsin listened to what we wanted for our front yard, sent thru a great digital mood board. She dug up and conditioned our soil, fetched our plants as agreed and bedded them. Great work ethic, good taste, clear communicator and zero hassle from start to finish. She will be maintain our patch as it matures. Panorama pic attached. Plant choice is mine to brief of: bee friendly, drought resistant, something of interest occurring throughout the year to entertain us all.

Rating: 5 / 5

We asked Tamsin to come up with some ideas for our new (tiny!) garden, which was looking tired and uninspired. She sat down with us to find out what kind of look and feel we were aiming at and presented us with mood boards and suggestions that felt exactly right. She prepared the soil, acquired the plants and planted them in a combination that looks just beautiful. Our garden now seems to us a real work of art. We couldn't be more thrilled or recommend her highly enough.

Tamsin recently helped me plant my new garden from scratch. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, responsive, efficient and also great fun. She also has great connections for sourcing good quality trees, plants and pots. Once the work was finished, she provided a helpful planting list and maintenance guide. I couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Tamsin's services, which are also great value for money. Overall a wonderful experience - 5 stars.

Colin designed and built our new garden in Putney. The final result is stunning incorporating lovely design elements we'd never have thought of. We get compliments all the time, especially satisfying given it is a relatively low maintenance garden (as per our brief!). Highly recommend working with Colin and his team, definitely one of the best investments we made on our home.

What a brilliant service! Professional care, great knowledge of plants and trees, and such a friendly attitude. Norbert is genuinely passionate about his work. Also, he is a very multi-skilled gardener who can serve complex garden maintenance and landscaping. We also love our new decking and handmade plant pots! Our garden couldn't be in better hands. Thank you so much!

I was taken here by family while staying in London with them. It was a very peaceful garden. I did not expect to find this little oasis in Drayton Park.

Rating: 4 / 5

Beautiful hidden little Garden and community space in Drayton Park.

Rating: 5 / 5

Large (by inner London standards) pleasant wooded garden hidden away in a corner between a couple of roads and a railway.

Rating: 5 / 5

A great space hidden by the railway tracks. A woodland oasis in the middle of Islington. Quiet and peaceful.

A great experience from start to finish on the top-to-toe remodel of our tired and heavily overgrown back garden. I really appreciated the transparency of the website in setting out process, timescale and costs (as well as potential fabulous results!) - and it turned out to be an accurate reflection of our experience. Emma really listened to our needs and translated them into a design that felt personal as well as practical and beautiful. The landscaping team were fabulous - good-humoured, apparently tireless, perfectionist problem solvers whose evident pride in their work shows. After years of feeling guilty and overwhelmed by its problems, being in the garden is already bringing much joy again - roll on spring!

Acacia Gardens designed and implemented the hard landscaping and planting for our front and back gardens. The design process was very detailed, with our ideas and feedback factored into the final design. The preparation, construction work and planting was carried out efficiently and to a very high standard. We were kept involved and consulted through. The whole team without exception were helpful, considerate and responsive. We're very happy with the end result.

Acacia Gardens delivered a great landscaping project and transformed our garden. We started with an inspirational conceptual design and progressed that into a detailed garden blueprint, the centrepiece being a beautiful bench seated fire pit. The garden build was delivered over a six week period and by the end, transformed into something of beauty. The team are highly talented and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Acacia Gardens for your project.

I needed some new composite decking laid in my back garden. My neighbours recommended Herman at Acacia Gardens. I spoke to a number of companies but Herman was the friendliest and most helpful and he was competitively priced so I chose him. They ripped up my existing timber frame, replaced it and gave good advice about which composite decking to use. I made a number of changes throughout the project but Herman was always understanding and helpful. The builders were brilliant; Rimi in particular. They were respectful, very hard working and fun to talk to and have around. They took real pride in their work and always consulted with me when necessary. I would highly recommend Acacia Gardens to friends and family and would definitely use them again for any gardening needs. They have just finished a major project next door and that looks great, too

Couldnt have asked for better service, on phone and in person delight and works with all serious-ness no slack i saw to be honest even while waiting for deliveries, thanks again perfect all round!!

Rating: 5 / 5

If I could give these guys a 6 star rating I would! Today they laid a perfect new lawn - lush green, as flat as a pancake and totally exceeded my expectations. It looks wonderful. They were very professional, cleared away all weeds and their roots, they did a lot of prepping to the give the turf a base in which to grow and thrive and were polite and considerate at all times. They started and finished within the time frame they gave and provided some very good advice as they left - proper attention to detail. I am delighted with their work and their costs were very competitive too. I would definitely use these guys again.

Our garden had suddenly gone wild and our regular gardener was away - I emailed Ivan and they got back quickly and we’re available a few days later. They were on time, worked efficiently on the hottest of days and transformed the front and back garden. Would use again and highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Hire Ivan & Sons for a second time to lay a new deck. As always, they do an impeccable job with professionalism and consideration. They are always very attentive, trustworthy and tidy when they finish the job and Steve and Melin always do it with a smile and extreme care. Would definitely recommend their services and will be calling the team if I need any further garden work done.

Simon and his team were helpful, friendly, skilled and very efficient. The garden looks fantastic. The advice I received from Annie and the discussions we had prior to the garden design were invaluable. I am very pleased with the finished garden and keep wandering outside to look at it over and over again. I would recommend highly.

We have used Garden Transformations for the past 6 months and are really impressed. They are completely consistent, reliable and helpful. They also go above and beyond to help. The garden is looking excellent, well maintained and healthy. We had a great gardener before, but he was too busy to visit regularly. I am really appreciating the consistency and quality that Garden Transformations bring. I would highly recommend their services.

Rating: 5 / 5

We could not recommend Garden Transformations highly enough They helped us to design and then built our dream garden We are completely delighted with the result and the aftercare. The team who worked onsite were punctual, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They often went the extra mile for tiny finishing touches Highly recommended by us

Rating: 5 / 5

We are very happy with the work done on our garden to transform it from an overgrown and depressing patch of ground to an inviting place to look at and to be in. The process from our initial request and planning of the garden to the cleaning up of the space and the new lawn and planting went very smoothly. The team involved were friendly and efficient, and took care of our home as all the equipment had to come through from front to back. We are very pleased with the final result, as well as the details given for aftercare of our new garden.
