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

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.

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.

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.

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 with how our lawn looks, many thanks to Stuart. I wish I’d taken a before! We’re about to go back on the market with our property and this has really helped us to feel ready again. Reasonably priced and great service. Thanks again, Clara and Alex Green

When a very large garden takes over the borders and life doesn’t allow for you to get out there and do the hard heavy work at the beginning of the season, the help and advice from Stuart has been invaluable and what was achieved by him and Claire in a short space of time motivated action on our part and we look forward to an ongoing working relationship with them. Our thanks to them both

We got in touch with Claire as we are both novice gardeners and wanted some help and guidance on bringing life to the garden at our new house. She has done a fantastic job expanding the bedding, preparing the soil and finding plants suitable for the conditions and we’re much happier having the beginnings of a colourful garden outside of our kitchen window now. Would highly recommend Claire for any garden related work as she is prompt, friendly and knowledgable.

Claire has looked after mum’s garden for the past couple of years. She is friendly, professional and reliable. She has worked out a maintenance schedule for the garden but is also happy to undertake specific projects such as designing and planting a flower border. The garden now always looks good, we would definitely recommend this business.

Really fast, excellent work from James today, cut my enormous vine back in no time. Efficient and tidy, would highly recommend this company.

Tom and the team have undertaken numerous works for us including creating new plant beds, construction of a pergola, replacing paving with turf, and converting a lawn into a wildflower meadow. Tom is thorough in understanding the client’s requirements, pricing these accordingly and delivering as specified. He will consult throughout the process and seek opportunities for improvement on cost, time and quality. The result is every piece of work has been excellent and good value for money.

Excellent ongoing work by Tom and his team Very courteous and professional and are able to deal with all our requirements in a total garden makeover from dealing with daily garden maintenance to complicated planting and planning in a large 17th century house garden.

Tom and his team are highly recommended. Very professional, and high quality of work carried out at competitive prices. Thank you for the fantastic work carried out

amazing place

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

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.

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 !

Brilliant service. Friendly, reliable and a good price. They work really hard and gave me some great ideas and good advice about my garden. My garden looks great. Thank you.

Very happy with the service from Plant Life Garden Services. Nick gave me a quote for tidying large evergreen hedges and was able to attend within a few days. The work was really good and all the cuttings were removed along with other garden rubbish which was a nice surprise. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

We are extremely happy with the garden works recently completed by Kent Best Landscapers. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, professional, and exceeded our expectations. The team demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism, transforming our garden into a beautiful and cosy place where we will be spending quality time with our family and friends. The team paid attention to every detail, ensuring that our initial design is completed to our expectations. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Shane and Jimmy kept us informed at every step of the way, listened to our comments and ideas, and provided valuable suggestions that enhanced the final outcome. Their punctuality and dedication to meeting deadlines were impressive, and they maintained a clean and organized workspace, respecting our property at all times. We would highly recommend Kent Best Landscapers to anyone looking to transform their garden.

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

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

Steve and his wonderful team put in a new patio for me and did a fantastic job. I’m really pleased. I found Steve to be prompt in his response to any queries, and he and his team were reliable, polite and friendly. I would happily use them again.

I've used Steve for several gardening jobs. Him and his team are always very professional and hardworking. Highly recommend!

Steve and his team did a fantastic job landscaping my garden last year and was the first person I thought of when having a home office installed in my garden a year later. SK Landscaping were professional, reliable and efficient and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Steve has been great throughout our project. Reliable and value for money. Would definitely recommend. Over the moon with the finished results.

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 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.

Excellent service and I would highly recommend. Very reasonable price to service my petrol lawnmower that had given up the ghost. Very polite gentleman. I ordered the parts following instructions from Alia, I purchased the oil and Alia did all the hard work. My lawnmower is all serviced now ready for the summer. I’m definitely going to get Alia to service my other lawnmower next month ready for the summer too. We’ve also discussed some landscaping work for him to undertake. Thanks very much Alia 😀😀😀
