The staff are respectful and do their best to accommodate.
Reasonable charge but not so happy with the work done. We’ll have to hire someone again.
Excellent professional garden service at excellent value for money. Would recommend the gardener who left the gardens looking exceptionally tidy. Would always use this gardener now.
Originally, when scheduling a gardener, they offered a package which was a discounted rate having a gardener every 2 weeks for X months. As we had previous issues with gardeners showing up on time (arriving 1-2 weeks late) I just told them I will pay after every visit. Gardener arrives the 11th to mow the lawn, I receive the invoice and pay right away and Find a Local Gardener is notified that payment has been sent using the format they requested to the bank details they provided. We then ask if we need to schedule another appointment for 2 weeks from now and they said no a gardener will automatically be arranged. Fast forward 3 weeks, still no gardener and they are saying we need to pay them today or they will charge us late fees for the previous appointment. I tell them it has already been sent on the 11th so could they verify the bank details that it was sent to (I provided a picture). They ignore my message and ask for my name. I provide my name and invoice number and they read it and they don't reply. I reach out again with a long message asking them to either double check and confirm they received it or verify their bank details as I asked and they just reply "we have it thanks." Not sure if they were just wanting a double payment as they acknowledged the payment on the 11th and still asked us to pay again today. Extremely unprofessional, would not recommend.
Tom was very proactive and helpful and followed precisely the way I wanted the work carried out. He cut a very tall hedge back and down to the height I wanted, and was careful on the other side of the garden to let the rose continue to grow whilst cutting back wisteria from the roof and tidying up/ pruning the rest of the bushes away from the lawn so the cyclamen could be seen. He also mowed the lawn so the whole garden was much improved 😀
Ben visited us today and did a great job in tidying up the lawn front and back, trimming the borders and around the pond. Highly likeable and professional job. Recommended.
Avoid!
Fantastic team
I used find a local gardener as I was in need of some lawn ad hedge maintenance as I am unable to do those jobs myself. The whole experience with the company and the garden was very professional, would definitely recommend using this company as I will be using them again myself in the future for any further gardening work I am in need of.
Highly recommended! I asked Find a Local Gardener to help me with recruitment, and the role for Maintenance Gardener has been filled between 2 weeks! Very reasonable fees and professional service.
Professional. No issues. Good job.
Really happy with the service my garden and hedges look great already booked again for 4 weeks time
Graham was very nice and professional. He went straight to work and did a great job.
Gardner listened to our requirements, made suggestions and helped us to create a large patio space which we love and use as much as we can
My elderly Mum’s garden was looking pretty sorry for itself after being left all summer, so it was very over grown. We asked Find A Local Gardener if they could help her once a month to keep on top of the gardening jobs and we found them very easy and pleasant to deal with. Not to mention great value, too! They organised a gardener for us within 2 days of our email message to them and a lady named Samantha came with shears, lawn mower and strimmer and made short work of getting the garden back under control. The garden was bad and took her a day to clear, then she came back the next day to make it look beautiful. We couldn’t believe it was the same garden! My Mum was absolutely delighted and will be having Samantha visit every month to keep the garden tidy. I would highly recommend Find A Local Gardener to anyone needing a talented, friendly gardener.
From start to finish it only took a week to get them to come out and see what I wanted and get it completed. It was value for money and Graham did a really good job. I can't recommend them enough.
Highly recommend Find a Local Gardener. They did an excellent job at a good price. The gardener was reliable, friendly and left the garden looking lovely at student property
He was really nice and friendly. Totally helpful when out of his way would recommend thank you
Excellent service from John. Garden looks great, was really friendly and would use again for sure.
I contacted Find A Local Gardener through the form on their website to find someone to help with the bigger jobs in my garden which I struggle with. A lady contacted me from the company very quickly and arranged for a gardener to attend at the time I had asked for. The gardener was a young man who was very pleasant, friendly and, most importantly, he was on time. He did a great job with tidying up the conifers and hedges around my garden and left the garden nice and tidy. He even ran a lawn mower around the garden to make sure there weren’t any bits and pieces left on the lawn. I am so pleased with how good my garden looks now! The work was done quickly, with no fuss and the charge was reasonable. I can certainly recommend this company and will be doing so to my friends and family. Thank you very much to all at Find A Local Gardener!
Let me down on multiple occasions
Supplied a gardener when everyone else I had tried were unavailable Nice personable gardener too.
I had to leave home for a couple months so I paid for the two month service package which I was told included grass cutting, hedge trimming, and weeding among other things. I told my landlord everything would be taken care of. Upon return, it appeared nothing had been done. Grass was knee high, and all plants and weeds were out of control. My neighbors said they saw a person show up once and do incomplete work. The owner said they showed up twice. Either way, my garden was a mess. I asked what happened, and requested them to clean it up. After over three weeks of asking and only receiving "Will let you know shortly" in response, I was able to clean up my garden myself and get only half of my money back. Not much considering the work I put in to fix the mess and the fact that my grass has to be replanted in several areas. If there was a miscommunication or mistake, I could understand that. But there was zero effort to either fix the issue or explain what had happened which was most frustrating.
Rang twice to arrange a quote for work to be carried out but still awaiting a visit. Really disappointed.
The person who turned up to do work on the gardens did an excellent job
Graham was absolutely brilliant. He got on with the job in hand and finished all tasks just as I asked him to in the time allotted. Would highly recommend Find a Local Gardener
Mark is an excellent gardener. Prompt, polite, friendly and did a great job at returning our garden from the jungle it was. highly recommended!
We had a gardener for 4 hours. We gave him a list of jobs including pruning, weeding and general tidying. He did all the jobs in the time and a few others besides and he left the garden neat and tidy. Will definitely use again.
Graet job, thank you.
