The Best Gardeners in West Malling, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

We contacted Abel Landscaping Kent and after discussing our requirement they provided us with a very competitive quotation to install a beautiful and practical raised Natural Sandstone Patio complete with Mashall steps up to the conservatory and also steps leading down onto the lawn. We are extremely pleased with our new Patio and also the overall service and materials provided. The works were commenced and completed exactly as agreed and the overall price was within budget. We would not hesitate to use Abel Landscaping again for any future works and would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking the services of a first class landscaping contractor.

Highly recommend Mr A Landscapes. From the initial quotation to the clean up at the end of the job the team were faultless. Despite the awful weather trying to slow things down, the team worked so hard to get our garden finished. Al and the team are courteous, friendly and very tidy. Nothing was too much trouble and we are over the moon with our transformed garden. Our toddler fell in love with Al and spent the whole two weeks calling his name and wanting to talk to him! We felt 100% comfortable having them in our home and would not hesitate to use them again in the future. If I could give more than 5* I would!

Absolutely chuffed to bits with the job Al and his team carried out for us. The end result is even better than we expected. Our property is very old so nothing is straightforward when it comes to our home 😂 however from the moment we met Al to quote, he was informative and very professional. It was a pleasure to have Al and his team work on our property. Lovely and friendly and cleaned up after beautifully. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be calling Al for all future garden jobs! Thanks guys

We’ve used Al and his team for a few jobs now and are always super pleased with the job! We’ve just had our fence panels and posts replaced and from start to finish Al is super friendly and accommodating. They do a fantastic job but also leave everywhere so tidy. Will definitely be in contact again and will continue to recommend!

Matt and his team at Cowen Landscapes have created a stunningly, beautiful garden for us, totally transforming the mainly unusable space with all new hard & soft landscaping. The work consisted of retaining walls, ground levelling, sleeper walls, raised beds, fencing, porcelain patio & path, new lawns, plus design and planting of shrubs and trees. Our site came with plenty of challenges which were dealt with without a fuss and no issue was insurmountable due to Matt’s ‘can do’ attitude. The whole project was carried out to a very high standard and completed on time and no budget, working through some terribly challenging weather conditions! Matt worked collaboratively with us from the outset, always coming up with great ideas including lovely planting designs, which is an area he is passionate about and extremely knowledgeable. We found Matt easy to work with due to his excellent level of communication on and off site. The whole team are professional, organised, dedicated and courteous, as well as being genuinely nice people who were a pleasure to have around. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cowen Landscapes for any project large or small. We are 100% happy clients and we look forward to Matt and his team returning to carry out further projects in the future.

Wonderful job completed by Cowen Landscapes. The brief was to make my small sloping plot wheelchair friendly with raised beds for ease of maintenance and no lawn. There was a lot of 'hidden' work involved and Matt and his team were superb - hard working and approachable and took great care with all aspects of the job. Many thanks to you all, you're amazing.

From quotation through to installation i have been very impressed with the professionalism and service from Matt and his skilled team. I was introduced to them via the supplier of my garden gate and received a site visit and measuring / design advice. I was kept informed of delivery and fitting dates and the two fitters were punchual polite and professional, overall great job, thankyou

Lawn replacement Brilliant , professional , expert knowledge, very friendly , worked through horrendous weather. Great comms from team at all times - very pleased, will be using for ongoing garden development

What can I say the best company I have ever used. Needed my garden landscaped in time for the summer. Was a last minute decision. Steve and his team delivered the best service. Absolutely chaffed with our garden and would definitely recommend. 10/10 service with high end results!! :-) happy customer.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I first discovered Claire a number of years ago when I was looking for somebody to bring the beautiful wisteria on the front of my house back to life. It really was in a bad way after a tough winter and had only had one flower the previous Spring. Claire pruned it expertly and gave it a good feed. The following Spring, it was back to its former glory. Claire has returned to prune it every winter since and each year, the wisteria is bursting with bloom. I love it so much! Claire is lovely and has also helped me transform my little garden by digging beds and introducing plants which have really thrived. I can’t recommend her enough. Get in quickly though as she’s so popular, she’s always super busy!

James, recently transformed my garden into a beautiful haven. His work involved clearing trees, building my greenhouse, preparing the bedding, mowing stripes into the lawn, creating an inviting and serene space that I now enjoy daily. James demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication throughout. He was professional, reliable, and meticulous in his work, ensuring that every detail was attended to. His expertise and hard work have truly made a significant difference to my beautiful garden. I highly recommend his services.

Amazing attention to detail and thoroughness in clearing out an overgrown garden. James was reliable and always on hand to answer any of my questions. Would recommend to anyone ⭐️

James came to complete a full restoration of my back garden. His reliability and attention to detail are amazing. Fully recommend James for any of your garden needs👍

We lost our gardener during covid and have employed James ever since. He had to work hard to bring back the lawn and deal with pruning the shrubs and neighbours conifers which over hung our garden. He has always listened and dealt with any issues we raised to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend him.

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!!

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 👍

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).

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 😀😀😀

I have just had R&C Garden Services to transform part of rear garden that needed a lot of attention. Connor and his team did a great job and followed my drawing of what I wanted done. They worked well together and completed the job to my satisfaction. Well done. October 2024.

I recently hired R & C Garden Services for block paving at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Rowan and Connor demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail that were absolutely top-notch. They were punctual, courteous, and incredibly skilled, ensuring every aspect of the job was completed to the highest standard. The design they recommended perfectly complemented my home, and their craftsmanship speaks volumes about their expertise. They kept the site tidy throughout the project and finished on time, exceeding my expectations. If you’re looking for reliable landscaping and garden design services, I highly recommend R & C Garden Services. Rowan and Connor have truly transformed my outdoor space, and I’m already receiving compliments from neighbors! Excellent job! 👏✨

R&C Garden Services removed 8 conifer tree's and replaced with a high quality fence including concrete post's . Excellent job and i would highly recommend this company .I have already booked them in to update my patio next .

Rob has helped me take a dark, shaded part of my garden and bring a touch of light, space, structure and thought to it. A woodland scheme was needed for my setting and Rob took the time to understand both my requirements and what the site needed to be successful. He then came up with a design and planting scheme, working with me on every step of the way to make sure I was happy. He gave me several options that would fit in with my budget and helped me maximise what I could get for my investment. Sourcing and planting was done quickly and Rob was careful and hard working throughout. While its early days, everything we planted has bedded in nicely and I'm already seeing the new shoots coming through ready for the real splendor of the design to be realised in the Spring. I've already recommended him to several friends and will definitely be using him again in the future.

Really great service very professional and did a superb job!

We could not have asked for a better service from Rob. He tidied up the front and back gardens, mowing the lawn, weeding borders and beds and generally getting things ready for the winter. He was professional, punctual and his work was of the highest quality. We are looking forward to getting his ideas for some bigger improvements to the garden in the spring.
