Rating: 5 / 5

Mary Mary Creates Gardens Ltd have to be one of the most wonderful companies to deal with and from our first meeting on site we just knew we were in safe and special hands. Their garden and landscape design service is simply superb and they combine all of your brief and then go to town to make it as great as possible with flair, creativity and a sheer love of nature bursting through. The hard landscaping and joinery skills are second to none and mix superbly with their ability to choose planting arrangements that leave you feeling like you have stepped into a gold medal winning Chelsea Flower Show garden. Working in combination with superb lighting designers and installers as well is such a joy to see come it all come to life as dusk sets. Friendly, approachable, efficient, on time - just everything you could wish for really and now all that is left is to thoroughly enjoy the fruits of the team's labour over the coming years watching it all evolve as the seasons pass and marvel at how it all became possible through their passion.

The lovely team at Mary Mary has transformed a blank canvas into a beautiful garden we are over the moon with. We wanted a tropical feel – to step out the back door and feel we’ve been transported to another land – and we’re confident that once the planting has had the chance to become established, that’s exactly what we’re going to get. At every stage from the planning through to the planting, the team was professional, communicative and very friendly. It was great to have one team with so many areas of expertise so there was no need to go to different tradespeople. We have a beautiful new path, decking, planting, a water feature and even a swing! Everyone was very respectful of our property, tidying up daily and cleaning thoroughly before they left for the final time. Additionally, our work was carried out during a national lockdown due to Covid but by hiring a portaloo and bringing their own flasks, we couldn’t have felt safer.

We used Mary Creates for our garden design and hard landscaping. We were very apprehensive but wanted to maximise our small space with a limited budget. Sarah and David listened to everything in our brief, and managed to fit all of our requests in our small garden. The plant list was extensive and so thoughtful. Fast forward to the hard landscaping and the team were thorough, skilled, knowledgeable and so tidy (despite the mud!). We’ve had landscaping before but the workmanship in the raised beds, path and planting is unmatched in quality. They stuck to budget and we even came in slightly under. We won’t hesitate to use them again!

We had a wonderful experience with Mary Mary Creates Gardens, from helping us decide how to make best use of our (limited) space to walking us through the design and build process. The work was done per the timelines agreed and we are really happy with the results. Everyone was very helpful and communication throughout was great! Would highly recommend!

A complete, professional, friendly service. So lucky to have found Alex. Always on time. Always professional. Listens to what I want and always delivers 5-star service. Fantastically reasonable cost, agreed in advance. I would highly recommend using for your garden needs… my lawn has never looked better. The ease of letting Alex cut, trim edges and clear everything saves me so much time… time to actually enjoy my garden. Alex is always willing to share tips and advice and spend time making sure his customers are happy. Like I say… 5-star service.

Needed some help and advice on the very large lawn/garden I have recently taken on! Came across Alex's name and dropped him an email, he was quick to come back to me and arrange a visit. He had some great advice on how I could get on top of it and we put together a plan for the year ahead. Since then he has been excellent and already has made a huge difference to the garden. His professionalism and dedication is visible in his work and I would fully recommend him (and have) for any size garden job. I am very pleased with the results so far and look forward to the continued improvements he is making to the garden.

Alex and his team are brilliant. I’ve been using Ground Control Gardening for some time now and they are amazing. The garden has been improved with loads more light entering into the space and the plants have benefitted hugely. Alex is a really hard worked and dedicated to his business. It’s a pleasure to see him every fortnight and his communication skills are exemplary. Thanks for everything Alex.

I love my garden but do not like gardening and over the years I have had the help of several gardeners. Following a major re-design four years ago I needed help to maintain what had been done and get help to build on the design as the new planting started to mature. After investigating several firms and meeting Andrew it was obvious that The Drew Neat team had the skill and creativity that I was looking for. Now in the third year of our relationship I have a wonderful garden to enjoy during all seasons.

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.

Had the pleasure of Sean and his team completing a full remodelling & landscaping of our garden over 3weeks in April. The work was carried out to a high standard, and the quality of materials was good. The team were courteous, provided useful ongoing suggestions, kept us well informed with the progress, next steps and adapted well to any changes. We are extremely happy with the result, would happily recommend Sean and felt very comfortable having Sean and the team at our home

Sean couldn’t have been more helpful, he offered his advice based on his expert knowledge. He was polite, well informed and friendly. His work was a great standard and he went out of his way to check I was happy. I would highly recommend his services and his company.

I had the pleasure contracting Sean and his team to overhaul our driveway in Wadhurst. Sean gave us some excellent ideas on how to improve our muddy, potholed drive and we agreed to implement them all. The guys worked tirelessly to a tight deadline and solved all the issues that we had. The driveway now looks superb and we are extremely pleased. Sean’s good humour, insightful observations and bad jokes come as part of the service. He’s an excellent person to work with and I highly recommend Tunbridge Wellies.

Extremely pleased with both the communication, installation and quality of my fencing, all niggles were dealt with quickly and with no fuss. Would definitely use Sam and his team again and have no qualms in recommending this company to others!

Rating: 5 / 5

We were recommended SA Landscaping and would definitely recommend them too. Sam and his team have been professional, hard working and courteous. Definitely having them back for more projects.

Rating: 5 / 5

Sam's team, Jake, Grant and Lewis have just completed a really top class job in our Tonbridge garden. They cleared stumps, excavated some of my patio, built a new brick raised bed and finally planted some pleached trees. They were punctual, cheerful and worked like Trojans even in the ghastly January wind and rain. Sam popped by to check up. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Sam and his team did a fantastic job on our front garden. From start to finish the communication and workmanship went seamlessly. They were open to our needs and nothing seemed like too much bother for them.Jake tidied everything up each night when they left and they were on time everyday. I would highly recommend them.

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

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.

Artur and his team did a marvelous job. They were very tidy and the end result was fantastic. They were very polite and courteous and did everything I asked and more!

We have used Ryan at least 4 times in the last 3 years to trim our hedges and trees. We have found him to be professional, knowledgeable, courteous, hard working and respectful to our neighbours. He works to a high standard and clears up afterwards. His prices are fair. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others. John & Pam Nelson Tonbridge

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Ryan and Ron did an excellent job building a new fence for us. It looks great and has made such a difference to our garden.

We were extremely happy with Praesto Landscaping. They completely transformed our garden from a very uneven looking lawn and a disconnected space to a beautiful garden that flows so well and looks so much larger. They built a very attractive retaining wall and relaid the turf. A path was built to our shed and an area was stoned around our Jacuzzi. We would thoroughly recommend them. Matt and his colleagues were very professional.

Hi, I used Praesto Landscapes to renew our patio and lay a path in the garden. I found Matthew very professional and easy to work with. He was onsite a lot of the time and was very amenable to changes I made at short notice. He has an eye for detail and took pride in his work and was very fairly priced. I would definitely recommend him. Ann

Matt and his team worked in the depths of winter to redesign our back garden. Provided a first class service and top quality materials. Flexible and easy to work with, the team offered advice and locally sourced materials. Great job. Thank you.

Rating: 5 / 5

Praesto Landscapes simply outstanding. Not only was the quote fair, clear and concise, but the level of detail they provided to the project of our total new build garden renovation was incredible. Matt's and the teams eye for detail, and patience to see the job through, delivers a project of top quality. They were so good we recently re-hired them to renovate our outdoor training barn for our business.

Sean and his "team" of Darren and Grant have just built a patio and landscaped our back garden. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome. From planning to completion their workmanship has been exemplary. Punctual, polite, professional and tidy in the extreme. Prepared to go that extra mile in ensuring total customer satisfaction. I would have no hesitation whatsover in recommending them to future customers.
