Top Gardeners in Abinger common, Surrey

Project: Suburban front garden, driveway and passage to the back garden. Property is on a gentle slope, and the garden slopes towards the house.

The team at VU clearly take tremendous pride in their work and I can honestly say that we've enjoyed the experience of having them on site. Here's my impression:
- understanding the brief
- proposing the use of new materials
- executing the work with precision
- going the extra mile (in our case, some 160+ miles round trip to find and collect extra block pavers).

Filip shares my aesthetic so I was happy to leave the design decisions in his capable hands. Ralph, with over 30 years of experience in the business, focuses on the important details and uses his ingenuity to solve technical problems. Clive, like others in the team, is uncompromising in his attention to detail and works with precision.

On day 7, when I noticed the various levelling instruments and jumbo folding squares, I could only rejoice, as I loathe tradespeople who work 'by eye' - unless they are artists! Consequently, I was able to relax and concentrate on my own work, confident that Team VU would surpass my expectations.

We've received lots of compliments from passers-by about our new front garden, with a few people remarking on the attention to detail. Our front garden is testament to VU's hard work and professionalism. We certainly have no hesitation in recommending them.

Vu have transformed our garden. Ralph and his team have always been very helpful and willing to deal with any issues that arose as the work went along. Nothing has been too much trouble for them, and our site is not the easiest, with steps up a relatively steep slope to navigate. The standard of work has been excellent and we are delighted with the results, added to which they have been a delight to work with. We are happy to recommend them.

Vu is a special company. It’s not often that you work with a contractor who is so approachable, friendly and professional as well as being absolutely spot on with their workmanship. They really care about our project and working with them has been an absolute delight from start to finish.

As a garden designer, I've worked with lots of landscape contractors and what I find refreshing about Vu is how quickly and efficiently their office administration is. This is, of course, on top of the fact that they do a great job on site, thinking carefully about a solution and getting the job done in a timely manner. They are polite and lovely people to work with. I can not recommend them highly enough.

Vu designed and landscaped my garden recently which was basically just turf at the start. I am delighted with the design and outcome and love to watch my beautiful plants taking root and growing in what now looks like an established garden, after only a short time. There have been many compliments and viewings from my neighbours. requesting the contact details of Vu. I would single out Filip, who was responsible for the design and planting and who was very happy and willing to sort out any questions that arose. The team working on the garden were very polite and hard working in all weathers and I would highly recommend Vu to anyone thinking of building a new garden or making changes to an existing one.
