The Best Gardeners in Capel, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Artur and his team did an amazing job with our garden. The end result far exceeded our expectations and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

We had a mess of a garden, tiered, weedy, uneven and unusable when we moved in. From the get go Artur was great, communicative, understood what we were looking for, drew up a design, suggested materials for us and was punctual polite and professional. The team were great, turned up on time every day, we trusted them when we had to leave to go to work and we’re pleased with the end result. The job took longer than anticipated, due to space and access issues (we’re end of terrace and access is through neighbours gardens) but they worked hard everyday. Overall very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Artur for a similar job or using him again for future garden projects. I’ve attached some before and after photos - as you can see it was not a nice job, but we’re so pleased that it’s now useable. We’re yet to paint the fences but that will be the finishing touch. Thank you Artur, Shane and the team! Ps excuse the missing garden fence panel at the back - this is NOT to do with AS Gardens work and our back neighbour was replacing it at the time.

Artur and his team are a joy to work with. They are professional, and hard working. They thought about each stage of the project and the result far exceeded our expectations and is so much better than what was before. I can’t recommend them enough. Attached before and after photos.

I had used AS Gardens three times. The first time was when the original builder had done a botch job and I needed to redo the whole thing. I was understandably very nervous trying the same job with a landscaper I didn't know, again. It turned out, They did a wonderful job. Given my first impression, I tried AS Gardens twice after that. Both times, I was incredibly pleased. One thing I particularly liked was that they finished the job off like it was there from the beginning. I highly recommend this company.

Drew Neat have provided garden maintenance and planting for over a year. Alway excellent gardeners, on time, hard working and knowledgeable. Nicki always available for planting advice and is very knowledgable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Drew Neat.

Drew Neat have provided planting design and garden maintenance to us for 4 years. Friendly and polite hard working staff who are always punctual and keen to ascertain any specific requirements when they visit. Excellent all round service and would not hesitate to recommend.

We have used Drew Neat for over 3 years. We have been very happy with the regular care given by the team led by Andrew and Nicki . We have found all the staff extremely polite,friendly, hard working and knowledgeable. I particularly find it helpful walking round the garden with Nicki , as an excellent plantswoman, discussing work needed and potential future ideas. I would definitely recommend them.

I have used Drew Neat Gardening Services for a year now. Initially there was a significant amount of work needed to get the garden back in shape. Subsequently the focus has been on maintenance and improvement by additional planting and moving some plants. Everything has been done to a very high standard and Nicki as my main point of contact has been extremely professional and helpful. The regular maintenance visits have always left the garden looking very attractive.

Ilia fixed my mower and was a pleasure to do business with. Prompt and courteous, he did a thorough job and was very tidy in his work. 100% recommend him for any garden work you may have. We will certainly use him again. 5/5 rating 👍

We asked Ilia from Gio Landscapes to help tiday up our 'wilderness' that had been neglected for far too long. He did a fantastic job and we now have a garden again! He works incredibly hard, charges reasonable rates and is entirely trustworthy. He takes into consideration the environment and offers genuine and knowledgable suggestions on ways of improving and maintaining outdoor spaces. The hanging baskets are superb! We will not be looking elsewhere when we replace our fence and design the new garden; Ilia is definitely our choice.

Really very good. Ilia transformed two gardens at my Victorian terraced property and cleared a severely overgrown and neglected rear garden single handed. He is knowledgeable, hardworking, committed and capable and undertakes all types of gardening from landscaping to shrub pruning. His prices are reasonable and he is thorough and trustworthy. Highly recommended.

I have used Gio Landscapes to do several jobs for me. He is very knowledgeable about lawnmowers and has fixed my mother's ride on mower and given sound advice on how to keep it in top working order. ilia has also cut my hedge to a very high standard and put my fence back up after gale force winds blew it down, he did a thorough and top job. He also made a concrete ramp to replace the bottom of my back garage door to replace a rotten piece of wood. He does excellent work and I can highly recommend. ( Jeff. Maidstone).

We recently asked Konkers to sort out a much-neglected garden area in a communal block of flats. They were communicative, on-time, competitively priced and did a great job. We will be using them again.

Great work from Konkers. They came to cut the hedge on my front garden and to do a general tidy up! Very pleased with the work done!

We recently used Konkers to help with issues we were having with some newly planted trees in the garden. We gave them a call and they came out, helped assess the situation and advised next steps, so we booked them for the job. Adam and his team were on time, polite and tidy and completed the job to a very high standard. We were very impressed and happy with their work and would highly recommend to others. Even when we needed additional help after their first visit, they came back and helped us out within 24 hours, which we really appreciated. We'll be using them again in the future for any garden maintenance jobs we need doing so would recommend them!

Recently Konkers came to our office in Wateringbury to do a big clear out on our garden area. They did an amazing job and exceeded our expectations at a reasonable price. To put into perspective, the area was really badly overgrown (We would have probably taken over a week to clear it and countless trips to the local tip) but they did it in under 3 days and also organised a skip for the cuttings/debris. They also did a fantastic job of cleaning up the weeds on our paths with the jet-wash. We have since agreed a maintanice timetable with them as we were so happy. Highly reccomend using Konkers for your home/commercial properties.

We required a new large patio area, retaining wall and area that was accessible & safe for our 2 young children. We found forty shades after searching on Google and seeing other good reviews. After contacting Philip he was prompt in coming over to see our garden and take measurements so he could provide us with an accurate invoice. He actually visited 3x before the work started to make sure we were all on the same page in the design and layout we wanted - something we really appreciated. Philip and Lewis began work on the day agreed and worked very very hard each day to get the patio completed. Philip and Lewis are both very polite, professional and lovely with my two children. Philip and Lewis greeted us each morning and told us the plan for the day and made sure we were happy with everything so far. The guys think about all aspects of patio design and the drainage system they designed works excellently. During the work, we asked to change the patio tiles and height of the retaining wall - both of which was no trouble for the guys and they went out shopping that day and found the perfect colour that made the indoor/outdoor flow work even better than expected. We are very happy with our new patio & will be using Philip and Lewis for further landscaping in the future. Thank you to you both.

Philip and his team worked on our back garden for a week and the results were amazing. They helped us build raised beds, put paving slabs & improve the landscape of our garden. They are a great bunch of people to work with and always open to suggestions and changes. They were quick to turn up and do any repair works once the work was over. I will definitely hire them for any future landscaping work. I highly recommend them. Thanks you Philip & Lewis.

Great guys! Did a great job working around my sleepers! Lots of intricate cuts - left the place neat and tidy - highly recommend! 5*

Phil and his team came by recommendation and did not disappoint. Efficient with a visit of our garden and listened to our works required. Requested a thorough list to ensure the quote was efficient, received in good time. A clearly sought after duo, completing the works within a month of the first visit due to other jobs being completed. Efficient! Good communication! Neat work! Very proud of our garden now and hope to have them back for some maintenance jobs in the future. Have already recommended to others!

Steve and the team exemplify the phrase ‘you get what you pay for’, in a good way. Not the cheapest quote for the work, but the result was worth every penny, real quality job.

I would highly recommend Better Living Landscapes. Steve did an absolutely amazing job transforming our garden. Throughout the whole process he was so accommodating to our requirements and providing options for us. Amazing job overall and would certainly be using them again.

I was very impressed with their professionalism and service. They delivered the work on time and improved some area of the garden more than I expected. Their staff were not only friendly but also very skilled. I highly recommend them.

Stephen and his two co workers were extremely hard working. They were pleasant and polite. Neat and tidy and did the work that was required in my back garden to a very high standard. I am delighted and have no hesitation in recommending Better Living Landscapes to anyone who needs work in their grounds. I will definitely be using them in the future

So pleased we had Gilroy replace our old decking. It has made a huge difference to our garden. Gilroy made my hazy vision come to life and delivered what I wanted. Time keeping was faultless. Tasha was fantastic at keeping my updated. Clean workmen and amazing workman ship. My only gripe is not getting my lawn done at the same time but that's in the horizon. Recommend all day long. Clean, respectful, amazing communication and great work. Exactly what you want when paying for a service.

I used the services of Gilroy and his team this summer for a full garden renovation. My garden is 130ft long so it was a large project. From the first meeting Gilroy put me at ease, sharing ideas, listening to my vision and helped to create it. I had a hard deadline for a large party which he understood. Gilroy worked late into the evenings and even came on weekends to ensure the project was finished on time. My new garden is amazing. A real social space and I couldn’t have created it without Gilroy and his team. I’ve already recommended him to several people and will gladly recommend him to others.

Excellent company and great workmanship. Arrived on time, friendly and reliable service. I can now utilise a very bumpy piece of the garden with poor soil. Roll on next summer! Thanks.

I contacted GW Landscapes based on reviews and photos. Something I am normally reluctant to do. The job was to replace existing shingle inset which was in a bad state of repair with lots of weeds with new artificial grass. Communications with Natasha was excellent. Gilroy and team completed a first class job. The whole process was quick and efficient. I would certainly recommend this company for the work they completed.

I cannot praise Shane, Keith and his team enough!! During our design consultation, Shane came up with some good ideas and I'm glad I went along with them, as my patio is now a very special place for us, where we can just relax or entertain. Shane and his team are just basically amazing! They are very professional (know what they are doing…), punctual, tidy and committed to the job at hand and in a nutshell they want to create your dream. I cannot tell you how much I love just looking at my new patio, I now have my very own little piece of "Love Island" yes I love watching Love Island :) The porcelain slabs have been laid to perfection and I get so many positive comments on how well the slabs have been laid. Keith built my cedar wood pergola and it looks amazing (one of Shane's ideas….) and I have to agree with Shane it really does set of the patio. Shane is always contactable, when not on site, which we really appreciated. The quality of workmanship is outstanding and we are so over the moon that we choose Kent's Best Landscapers to build our super patio (one of the best decisions we have made!). We will be requesting Shane and his Team to carry out our next big project in the very near future. A massive big Thank You to Shane, Keith and Team, you are the Best! Michelle and Paul Etchingham

Looking to turn your garden dreams into reality or not sure where even to start, then Shane & team at KBL are who you need. From start to finish they have been so easy to deal with, Shane always on hand for suggestions and ideas. Team under Keith's project management are reliable, tidy & courteous. 100% would recommend!

Like others, my nearly new build had a large patch of land behind the house which was jokingly called a garden. Following recommendations, Shane and his team took on this almost impossible task. Now 2.5 weeks later, the first three people who walked into my now courtyard garden started with the same words …. Wow, wow wow. And it is. Worth every penny. Thank you Shane, Keith, Stuart, Jimmy and Faye. Brilliant job.

We used Shane and his crew when we moved in to a new build . The house was quite small and we needed to extend a summer extension to provide a seating and dining area to create more depth to the house without losing the sense of a garden . The water feature and green tropical plants complimented the garden furniture that added the space and lost no sense of the outdoor area . We had a few changes about storage , but managed to create a space that kept the lines and elegance of the garden , which is enhanced even more when the lighting is put on and does not lose the sleek look we were after . Shane came in on budget (but we did have to make a few changes ) and more importantly on time for completion (although a few return trips were needed) but this was mainly down to it being a winter build and the conditions his men worked under were pretty miserable , but they cracked on and got the job done . I would whole heartedly recommend KBL for vision and creativity. We love our Garden and the time we spend in it . The only complaint I have for this year is the lack of sunshine and even Shane can’t be held to account for that - again thank you for our beautiful garden and all the best in your future projects

David has been helping our garden out of the Winter doldrums for a short while now and has worked out an ongoing schedule for us moving forward. I feel already able to provide 5 stars and a strong recommendation, as to his meticulous, thoughtful and strategic approach to raising the overall standard of both our front and back gardens, which already look better at this point than they did for most of last year! His very professional approach to quoting, invoicing and most importantly for me, achieving the expected outcome by communicating what is to be done each visit and then simply doing it, leaving the areas worked on, tidy and better than before. David's knowledge of plants is immediately apparent and his passion for the work he does shows by what he leaves behind!!

Excellent service. Came and cut back the whole garden in one day. Very hard working. Would highly recommend.

I sent Aaron pictures of what we wanted done and he was able to give me a remote quote which we were happy with. The work done was 10/10. They got our our garden winter ready removed all weeds on the patio and on the sides. Trimmed our incredibly overgrown bushes in the front. I’m very sure they gave us an extra 2m2 + of driveway space back ! All shrubs were taken away with them, with not so much of a piece of grass was left behind! All in all extremely happy with the service ! Haven’t been able to stop looking out our windows since. Looks like we’ve found who we’ll be using for life, so thank you and look forward to welcoming you back in the summer !

I typically don’t write reviews and have not done so before, however today is a must. I was extremely blown away by Aaron and the team’s attention to detail and commitment in doing a fantastic job. To give an insight of the thoroughness of the service provided: Aaron parked his van on our drive and when the job was finished he moved the van down the road and came back to ensure there were no leaves remaining which may have be blown underneath the van. It’s this level of attention to detail you don’t see these days with services providers. I can not recommend AJ garden services enough and have found my go-to gardeners.

Very happy with the work carried out on both our front and back garden. Professional and clearly skilled in their profession.
