The Best Gardeners in Farnworth, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

We would thoroughly recommend Jo Newton Garden Design & Consultancy. Jo came during some awful weather last year to measure up and really listened to what we wanted. She designed a beautiful cottage garden and her recommended plants came with information about how they would grow and where we could buy them from. Following work by a landscape company, we had the pleasure of sourcing and planting up the garden. Jo had encouraged me to save many of the plants from the old garden before it was cleared so we had many of our original plants to plant back in, giving a feeling of continuity and saving on the cost. Everything is growing well and giving us so much pleasure. Thank you so much Jo. Jean and Rob

Jo has done a fantastic job taking care of our gardens for a number of years, she has really good knowledge of plants, garden design & maintenance. Jo has designed & planted beds, replaced plants with more appropriate ones in others and made sure that shrubs are pruned at the right times (whereas I would no doubt have killed them). I'd recommend Jo without hesitation.

We asked Jo to help us with some areas of our garden that had become overgrown and advise us how to re-landscape and re-plant these areas. She listened carefully to what we wanted, and then produced a highly detailed report with suggestions of plants, plant maintenance, landscaping ideas, suppliers and recommended contractors. We highly recommend Jo; throughout the process she was professional and easy to communicate with and we are excited to start putting her ideas into practice.

I was quick to book Jo for a garden consultation. My situation was that I wanted to understand my garden more and to be able to do things myself to really make the most of the space and plants. I was totally clueless and had loads of questions/concerns, so a consultation was exactly what I needed. I'd never seen this kind of service offered before, and it sounded perfect. I wasn't interested in having someone come to measure up for decking or paving and show me samples - I needed someone to come and talk to me about the natural aspects of my garden. Jo's initial advice meant we could actually start getting stuck in straight away (we even did a few things under her kind supervision whilst she was still with us). The icing on the cake is that a week later, we had a full report containing links, resources, ideas and guidance so that we could work through it step by step and at our own pace. We've slowly but surely been implementing everything (easier than we actually thought), and it's really making a positive difference to our garden. Jo's honestly turned things around for us - and educated and inspired us along the way! She doesn't just understand your garden - she gets to know your lifestyle, too, and that makes all the difference in what she tailors for your report. Bring on Spring and a host of gardening activities that even our little girl can get stuck in with!!

Have used them for years. Friendly and really good at keeping the gardens and lawns in tip top condition

Brilliant. Don’t look any further. We found Alistair early last year and we cannot thank him enough for his hard work and, more importantly, his advice. The work we initially required was just to take on some of the difficult manual labour required to stay on top of our medium/large garden. We didn’t think it would be anything more than a one time deal. However, after seeing the benefits, we changed our minds. We’ve had Salford Gardening come to help now five or six times over the past 18 months, doing everything from weeding and general upkeep through to mulching and cutting back tree branches where necessary. Alistair’s worked in all weathers - mild May sunshine, extreme heat in 2022 summer, cold rain in October, frost again in late winter/early spring and never once has he complained about the conditions. My only reluctancy in writing a review like this is you’ll be more organised and take his time before I can book in again in the future 😂 Alister’s always offered great advice and gone above and beyond to share tips. The garden looks better for having Alistair come round and I look forward to seeing how he is able to help us improve upon what we are lucky to have in our garden.

Alistair and Sebastian got my mum’s garden maintenance ready and have been looking after it since summer, she’s delighted. I asked Alistair if he’d help me remove astroturf and plant trees in my new house. He was upfront with costs and I think he is very competitive. Not only did he complete the job, but his ideas and advice were greatly appreciated. He told me the names of most of my plants even though little to go off. Loved bouncing ideas backwards and forwards. I’ve now got a clear idea what is achievable over the next few months. Alistair I thank you very very much.

Impressed at the level of knowledge and expertise these guys have. And truly appreciate the quality of work done to bring our garden into order, and advise given for follow up, after a combination of weather and busy schedules left it unattended all year. Hedge shaped and even, lawn triple-cut, and beds weeded without removing cultivated plants. Before and after shots provided. Worth every penny and confident to use them regularly in future.

Absolutely amazing! I cannot tell you how good Alistair is at what he does. He turned my garden into a work of art. Couldn’t recommend him more.

From the first contact to the end result, everything was very smooth and extremely professional. It was a very challenging garden to work on and access was particularly difficult. John came up with solutions to all the problems the garden threw at him and the end result is the garden of our dreams. Both John and his co-worker were so easy to get on with and very good to work with. The site was left as clean and tidy as possible at the end of each day. John ensured all materials were sourced and delivered when needed and thanks to his meticulous standards, the completed garden is absolutely perfect. We can wholeheartedly recommend Manor Garden Services. Thank you so much John and Mark!

Came round to give us a quote really quickly and was very friendly and professional

Fantastic job. My back garden was in a bad state, jungle is understatement. These guys did a fantastic job of clearing and tidying. My only wish I had funds to do more at it but funds won't allow, but it's tidy and clear and I have sunlight back in my garden. Guys also have done my 2 front lawns, again a brill job. Definitely recommend them. Not bad priced either. Thank you Jonathan and team

Excellent work! efficient and really hard working. Would recommend to anyone.

Artificial Inspiration have been outstanding right from the very first visit. Our garden was like a mud pit for around 7 months of the year, throw 3 labradors into the mix and it's a nightmare, 12 paws to clean. Richard has tonnes of knowledge and is very professional in his line of work. He gave us different options. No pressure. We decided to go with A.I, the job was completed on time, with minimal mess. Richard and his team, Kate and Jordan, did an amazing job, their attention to detail and pride in their work is fantastic. Garden looks fab now, the dogs love it, they can play in the garden without muddy paws. If anyone is planning to have artificial grass I can 💯 recommend Artificial Inspiration.

Richard and his team were very professional. We had a 25M2 artificial lawn laid that needed bringing up to the level of our patio, which was 20cm at its lowest point. The team arrived at 7.30 am and worked through until the job was completed at around 4.00 pm the same day. The result is amazing. I had spent 12 years trying to get the lawn looking good, but failed. Yesterday I went to work and came home to find the perfect lawn. We would highly recommend.

The team at AI are brilliant. Nothing is too much for them. They are all friendly and polite. They worked hard to make my garden usable within the budget I had and it looks absolutely fantastic. Couldn't reckon them highly enough.

We would highly recommend Jordan. He was reliable and helpful from the first point of contact. He did a full garden tidy for us, nothing was too much trouble and he did a fantastic job. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave us some great advice. We will definitely be asking him to come back in the future!

Jordan did a fantastic job completely transforming my front garden and tidying up the back garden. It was great to discuss options and possibilities with him. He is knowledgeable and understood what I wanted as a client as well as thinking creatively about the space. He worked incredibly hard for two days and is coming back in Autumn to get the garden ready for winter. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Jordan 😊

Jordan is so knowledgeable and made a huge difference to our garden in a short amount of time, along with offering a lot of really useful advice for us to keep on top of things. We will definitely be using his services again and would recommend to anyone!

I got Jordan in to clear a large raised bed that was absolutely full of invasive weeds and brambles. He turned up early and spent the day solidly working and by the end the area looked amazing. All the weeds were gone and the soil ready for planting. He also gave me some great advice for what to plant there to keep the weeds at bay. He was really knowledgeable, friendly and hard working. I’ll definitely be getting him back to help me on the rest of the garden!

Dermott was super quick to reply to my message, lovely to deal with and got an AMAZING job done so quickly. It's transformed the house and garden. Thank you all. Highly recommended!

Worsley Gardening Service always leave us over delivering, Dermott is meticulous and complete any work within the time they have quoted for. We trust them on a regular basis now and wouldn't use anybody else! His experience shines through in the work he does and we are always more that satisfied with the quality their work. Reasonably priced too! Great work!

Dermott and his son did an absolutely fantastic garden maintenance job for the front and back garden. Professional and reliable service and has transformed the gardens - 100% recommend!!

Excellent gardener! Dermott always does a great job. He’s reliable, hard working and reasonably priced. He came this week and we’re really happy with the results. Would definitely recommend.
