Top Gardeners in Rochdale, Greater manchester

We recently had our old (very old) concrete patio replaced with Indian sandstone. Our experience with Creative Gardens and Driveways exceeded expectations. From our initial discussions with David, through to the completion of the work by Nick, Will and Chris, we were impressed by the professionalism and consideration shown by all members of the team. A huge amount of work and material went into the job: the result is just beautiful. After several weeks we still can’t believe the transformation to our garden. Small details, like sleepers and gravel beds and new drain covers just finished it off nicely. Even delivery of about a tonne of topsoil to fill in a ‘dip’ in the lawn didn’t phase any of us!
We are delighted with the results and will certainly be using the team again.

Creative Gardens undertook a full garden re-design for us, front and back, and I can highly recommend them.

Upfront they provided a full design service and we worked closely with their in-house designer, Matt, to put the plan together. He visited several times and listened carefully to what we were looking for in a garden before bringing it to life in a CAD design. We refined this with him to get the design we wanted and we always felt part of the process.

Ultimately he pulled off the difficult trick of designing something modern and stylish that balanced the needs of the whole family…. Kids, a gardener, relaxation etc. The design also included blending a wide range of existing plants with a range of newly selected ones by the designer.

The build phase came next and was a relatively stress-free experience. The team of 3 landscapers were talented, friendly and responsive to our feedback throughout the 6 week build. The work undertaken included full clearance back to a completely blank slate (inc tree removal), landscaping, shed building, lawn laying and planting.

Due to their organisation, hard work - and a bit of luck with the weather - they actually finished the project ahead of schedule, rare with any building project!

We’ve been over the moon with the results, which has brought the area around our house back to life and creates new spaces for the whole family. These projects are never cheap, but the result has more than justified the spend.

It inevitably feels like a risk when you engage a company to do a major build of this sort, but I have to say that David and his team took any such concerns out of the equation - they were friendly, organised, professional, responsive and fair if anything didn’t quite go to plan. You can’t really ask for anything more when it comes to a build project. Highly recommended.

We highly recommend Creative Landscapes and Gardens. We had a makeover for the rear garden including new seating areas, and a refresh of the front door step and a new driveway. David produced the initial sketch plans before we placed the order and then Simon produced the detailed plans before the work started. Tom and Matthew did the majority of the work with cover and help from Chris and others when needed. Their attention to detail, work ethic and pride in their work was fantastic and we are very pleased with the results.

They consulted on minor details and any changes as the work went along, and were keen to ensure that we were happy with the results. We even had one neighbour comment how polite our workmen were! They have also been happy to follow up for any minor defects as the lawn settled in.

We would certainly use them again in the future.

From our first meeting with David and Simon through to the completion of our new Millboard garden deck the design and installation services received from the Creative Gardens team was excellent and thoroughly professional.

Their workmanship and attention to detail whilst preparing the ground and installing the decking, together with the care taken to mimimise disruption and protect the garden, were admirable, particularly as the weather wasn’t the kindest throughout the build period.

Communication was good from start to finish.

We are delighted with the outcome and certainly won’t miss the maintenance regime of our old decking!

Creative Gardens and Driveways came in to lay a new lawn at my property. Tom and his team were exceptional, there punchuality, work ethic and getting the job done to a very, very high standard.

I cannot praise them enough, they turned up on time and put in a full day's hard work.

I would definitely recommend Creative Gardens and Driveways to anyone going forward and defiantly will be in touch for any future work required.
