The Best Gardeners in Ancaster, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

From day one, the team were extremely supportive of the ideas for renovation and adaptable when the circumstances changed; especially when the scope kept expanding, adding further tasks. L&R have transformed a wild front and back garden into 7 new areas. Out went the untamed boarders, shrubs and brambles, in came a blank canvas back to seeded grass; wrap around patio across the whole of the rear of the property; new off-road gravel parking, 3 wonderful bespoke sheds, wooden gazebo ready for Lazy spa/hot tub or winter outdoor seating area; new concrete driveway linking the front drive to the rear garden; and a new first impression front garden with new paths and drain covers. Throughout the project, the team were professional and hard working, cheerful during challenging moments, and adaptable when the weather changed. We are extremely grateful to L&R and the service they provided. Looking forward to enjoying the garden in 2025.

Rick and his team have done an impressive job replacing the scraggly patchy grass with artificial grass. Their work ethic is fab, they arrive at 0800 and work solidly throughout the day , they are great to have around friendly and polite with a gsh. I appreciate we chose the very good quality grass but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as fabulous if the preparation work hadn’t been done correctly. I thoroughly recommend Rick and his fab team, so much so, they’re coming back to replace the very uneven patio.

From initial Facebook contact to completion, Rick and his team have been amazing. Friendly, funny and absolute professionals. The quality of their work is exceptional and so is their attention to detail. I can’t wait to use the space next year. Highly recommend Rick and the rest of his team.

Rick and his team have just completed ‘phase 2’ of our garden project. We cannot praise them enough for their efforts and we are extremely happy with their work and our transformed garden. When the grass, hedges and plants mature it will be stunning and our haven. Thanks very much and all the best and you have our 100% recommendation for anyone thinking of embarking on a garden transformation.

Used them several times. Friendly and efficient.

I would recommend this company to friends and family. Had a privet hedge removed with a fence replacement. The quality of work and professionalism was outstanding and has made a massive improvement to our garden. I would definitely use this company again with another garden project. Heavy rain and a thunder storm didn't even stop the work being carried out. Everywhere was left tidy and picture perfect....👍

Fantastic service from Elite Landscaping from start to finish. Their eye for detail and precision is second to none. Complete perfectionists! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you gents for making the past 5 weeks a stress free pleasure, and for creating the most beautiful garden and pond, from Tythorne garden design brief.

A fantastic team, a pleasure to work with. Friendly, professional, efficient and top notch quality. We had a big project and they stayed focused on quality all through. Also very helpful with design and materials advice.

Excellent from start to finish! Attention to detail and we can’t thank Hannah enough for all the great advice and guidance, and Josh & Chris for the quality ground work and installation of the resin, block edge and lawn. Totally recommend this company and their products!

I’ve used Lazy lawn twice now. Firstly with a large artificial lawn project and this time with a smaller resin project. Both times I’ve had an excellent experience with a first class finish that I’m extremely proud to showcase.

We were after an artificial lawn, after researching and reviews we had two companies. We went with LazyLawn after good reviews and competitively priced. Work was of a high standard, friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Cleaned up afterwards. Recommended, large choice of lawn types to suit your individual requirements.

Kyle came over for the survey, explained everything from start to finish, all the benefits and how to care for the lawn after installation. The team turned up a few weeks later and were brilliant, extremely professional and managed to do all this in just one day. Amazing work, I love how my lawn now looks, very impressed and would highly recommend this team to anyone.

My garden needed a complete makeover and Colin was the right person for this. He’s done a fantastic job and I can’t wait for summer time to be here!!! Proof is in the pictures! Friendly, punctual and he is a perfectionist of his work. Colin also does the maintenance of my front lawn, every time he visits the garden it is always admired by passers by (which speaks volumes) I would highly recommend. :).

From overgrown grass and tyre marks as to where it was used as a drive, Colin has done a fantastic job in bringing it back to what it should be. The garden looks amazing every time he visits. I always get compliments on how great it looks. Colin is really friendly and very polite. I would highly recommend :). Thankyou as always.

When we moved in to our home the lawn and garden had not been maintained for some time. Colin is working his magic on bringing us a wonderful garden. He turned up on time and worked really hard tidying ready for ongoing fortnightly visits. It is so nice to come home to a lovely neat lawn and garden. Great service and reasonable price too. Would highly recommend.

Colin is absolutely wonderful, reliable and provides an excellent service in all weathers. He even helps with gardening advice and works around what you need to provide the best solutions. Can’t recommend enough if you are lucky to get a space with him! Siobhan

Excellent job, punctual, hardworking and adaptable. Completed the job in difficult weather conditions. Can’t speak highly enough about the service, and quality of workmanship. Would recommend to anyone who needed a garden make over. They’ve totally transformed my garden, can’t put into words how pleased I am.

Ulyett Landscapes was recommended to us. And I'm so glad they was, having just completed our garden project..they far exceeded my expectations. A big thankyou to the whole team in going above and beyond. 5 *****

Landscaping From the moment I met Paolo – I knew he was the man for my garden project. Landscaping can be a very stressful and expensive renovation and you need to be particular in the team you choose. Pablo along with his Green River team – leave you at peace of mind from the get go and really take their time to think through the whole process with you. They can work with your ideas or simply take the lead. Either way, their passion for garden design really comes out in the work and with an impeccable finish you are truly left with something bespoke. Always on time and finishing on schedule you are in safe hands. There price is competitive and you will have a curb appeal garden that your neighbours will envy. They are true professionals with a very pleasant demeanour and the kind of team you would find on Gardeners World and The Great British Garden Revival – the latter living up to their name. Happy to share photos of garden as testimony to their work. Since they have been, I’ve had several family and friends come round and request their details for garden quotes. Sunny and Jas

Paolo and Bob have done an amazing job at transforming our garden from an unusable mess to a beautiful haven which we can not wait to relax in! They were extremely helpful and communicative all the way from the first time looking at the garden through multiple designs and all the way through the project to completion. Would definitely recommend Green river garden revival to anyone!

Paolo and his team was very helpful from start to finish. The work was completed on time and to a high standard, would highly recommended.

From start to finish Paolo and his team were first class and I can highly recommend them to anyone considering garden design or landscaping services. Paolo provided invaluable advice and guidance to get the design just right, whilst the work was completed with diligence and professionalism throughout. We felt reassured and confident at all times and are delighted with the end results. Thanks to Paolo, Bob and Roman from a very satisfied customer.

The initial design process, ideas and plans from Ricky were excellent. The VR headset was a nice touch and gave a great feel and insight as to what the finished design would look like. Tim and the lads on site were very conscientious with an excellent eye and helped worked through some issues with the initial drawings and measurements. They maintained a high standard throughout and always left things clean and tidy at the end of day. We are delighted with the final result and love the transformation. The only slight downside was nothing to do with the the quality of work but with some communication and reliability issues towards the end of the project. Overall, we would highly recommend Pride Landscape and Design.

Pride Landscaping have just completed my garden project. Ricky planned and designed my garden and I am absolutely thrilled with it all. Chris, has been an amazing project manager and builder, Kyle and Dave were also fantastic and made a great team together. They were all so professional, hard working, clean and tidy. I cannot thank Pride Landscaping enough for my garden and front drive and I would highly recommend the whole team.

From the moment of First contact to conclusion of the build I have been impressed with the service provided by Ricky and the team at Pride. For someone who is not the best with gardens and can kill a cactus Ricky did an amazing job understanding what I wanted and converted my new build slope into the perfect entertaining area. What really helped was the 3D visuals which really helped me visualise what the end product would look like. Ricky works with you to get the design you want. The whole process was effortless, the team diligent, professional, and hard working even in the worst of weather. It was a pleasure having them on site for two weeks. All in all I now have an amazing garden to be proud of - thank you Ricky and team

Ricky’s imaginative design has transformed an unusable and depressing slope into an elegant terraced area. The design is practical as well as attractive as it offers several planting areas which are easy to reach and maintain along with pleasant areas to sit. The new terrace provides a much-needed link between the front and back gardens, both visually and practically. Chris executed the challenging design very professionally with high quality workmanship throughout, being able to accommodate the minor changes we requested.

Has exc reviews, they seem to know what there doing 👍not the cheapest but..the best usually isnt

Acer landscapes do all of our garden and landscaping work at Queens Court in Retford, they also do all of our tree work to a very high standard I could not ask for better, the staff are friendly and helpful and nothing is ever to much trouble whether its a big or small job We will be going on to our third year with them now, would absolutely recommend them

We hired Acer Landscapes a few years ago to landscape our garden and make it child friendly. They removed all waste and levelled the ground. They extended the patio and planted laurels around the edge of our garden. The work was completed swiftly and without any complications. I would highly recommend Acer Landscapes and I look forward to hiring them for future work.

Good job done at a fair price. If I was to give abit of constructive criticism Paul could have done with a taller step ladder so he could reach and do the tops better, also I would have prefered sheets put down to catch the cuttings rather than a blower at the end as I still had to clear bits up, but I do have very high standards myself so maybe I'm being abit picky. I would have painted gardener again and recommend them to others. See photos.

Absolutely amazing work by Chris and Richard. Excellent communication, workmanship and attention to detail. You can tell they really care about what they do and it shows. Will not hesitate to use them again, and recommend to everyone. Efficient, tidy, friendly and reliable. Genuinely lovely guys who want their customers to be happy. Thank you both, you have made a huge difference to our garden and we will be in touch about future projects!

Chris and Richard recently did a full repaint of my hall, landing,kitchen and living room and did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend!

Chris was very helpful and worked with us to deliver exactly what we wanted. He endured several changes that we made with total respect for our vision. Chris had issues with supplies, but spent considerable time sourcing alternate options. We are so impressed that we are pending a quote for more extensive work. If you want quality and professional service then The Painted Gardener is your man
