Oak View Landscapes Limited is often praised for friendly, professional teams, clear communication and tidy, hard-working service. Reviews commonly mention quality turf and lawn work, landscaping, planting and attention to detail, with several new-build gardens transformed from uneven or poorly prepared ground. A small number of older and more recent reviews raise serious concerns about lawn preparation and uneven landscaping, while one review mentions difficulties arranging a quotation.
The newly laid lawn at our new build was a complete mess and is now looking fabulous thanks to James and his colleague. They worked tirelessly even though it was one of the hottest days of that month.
Really pleased with the service from Oak View Landscape. Our back garden in a new build (only 3 months old) was in a terrible state uneven, full of dips and bumps, more like a potato field than a lawn. I was the last of three gardens they rescued, very pleased with the outcome. James and Adam were excellent from start to finish. Professional, reassuring, and clearly take pride in what they do. They promised to put it right and give us a lawn to be proud of and they delivered exactly that. Would highly recommend Oak View Landscape to anyone looking for quality garden or landscaping work.

Their experienced crews, strong project management and commitment to quality show in every project. It’s no surprise they continue to receive national BALI recognition. A reliable, skilled landscape contractor trusted by clients and highly respected across the industry.

I recently had Dealings with Oak View attending Finches Kiby Cross to relay Turf on our new build property, I add we did have one of the wettest days on the Tuesday end of October we've had for an age. That said they stripped off the top layer of turf and then attended to the topsoil and relayed the turf on top of that whilst mostly raining. The least I could do was offer tea and coffee but even then they hardly broke for lunch. I have had many a contractor into work at my property's over the years and honestly if I ever need any garden work to be completed I will happily use their services again if all their lads work as hard.
And this is what Oakview Laid my turf on today after two years of complaining to Barrett Holmes about my grass not growing and they’re being no topsoil under my turf, They finally came to redo it today and yet again have laid It with no topsoil! Avoid, avoid avoid
We moved into our new build property on the waylands fields development in Watton. The quality of the landscaping is a complete joke, the lawn that is supposed to be professionally laid is all over the place. They throw over 300mm of basic soil and dress it with about 30mm of actual good topsoil, no raking or levelling at all so the result is a completely uneven lawn that in winter is a swamp. As an ex professional landscaper it’s unbelievable how bad it is. The planting is thrown in and two are dead. The paving is laughable and we have loose slabs already. To any reply i’d say to the boss “come and see for yourself “ it’s nowhere near professional and even the site management are saying the quality is ridiculous. I’ve recently extended the patio and to get the proper fall away from the house I’ve now got the grass that’s 4 inches higher, ow and the two rows of slabs put in bye them are not falling away from the house. Terrible standards and avoid at all costs
Always helpful
Great company and great people. Matthew was very helpful getting everything organised over the phone. Once the job was agreed, Chris and Lewis provided a high standard of service, providing a top class new lawn!
Always give me an excellent service!

So pleased we used Oakview Landscapes. They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Can’t recommend them enough. Friendly, professional on time and tidy. Can’t thank Paul and his team more.
excellent lads, excellent place of work,very very professional
Lovely team and excellent service, the landscaping they provided was top notch! Throughly recommend!
A brilliant company who employ people who are professional in everything they do, and are extremely thorough . Couldn't find fault with them at all.
I have found the office and on site teams always excellent and friendly. The work is of an extremely high quality and the communication could not be better. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Disappointed. Oak View cancelled three appointments to quote for a large landscaping project, and all cancellations were at very short notice. Seems they are more interested in huge corporate contracts than residential work as the last appointment was cancelled because ' I need to wait in the office for a phone call from Kier'. Expected more from them to be honest.
