I love the raised beds with the lighting in them, makes it look beautiful at night. The new patio area makes a wonderful place now to sit and take in my new lovely garden.
The workmanship is fantastic. Gary shows great attention to detail in his work and he takes pride in the job he does. Everything was left really clean and tidy at the end of the job.
I was recommended to Greengage Gardens by a friend of mine who had had some work done that I was really impressed with. Because I am a bit further out I wasn’t sure that they would come out to me. But Gary was happy to take on the project. I am so glad he did as Gary and his team were professional, punctual and hard working. I would highly recommend Greengage Gardens to anyone."
- Complete garden redesign, including levelling and re-turfing the lawn area, tidying up the flower beds, renewing and extending an old patio, building some raised beds and installing garden lights.
Prompt, polite and friendly. They completed the work to a high standard and left everything clean and tidy when they had finished.
EXCELLENT!!!!!"
- Clearing overgrown plants and trees from garden. Weeding and tidying garden.
Worked very hard, not stopping, and did a really fantastic job. The garden looks better now than it has since I moved in!
I cannot express enough how good he has made it – excellent job, well done and thank you.
Highly recommended."
- Completely cleared the back yard of brambles, nettles, high grass and dense weeks - like a mini jungle!
Very polite, friendly and professional. I would definitely have them back again."
- Weeding and tidying up of the back garden flower borders.

- Weeding and tidying up of the back garden flower borders.
The back garden is very mature and had become overgrown so he cut it all back, laid some turf and also laid a patio area.
What I now have is a beautiful garden, both front and back, and it all looks really smart.
During some of the project, because I work in London, a lot of communication was done over the phone. He also informed me of when he would be there and kept me totally up to date with everything. He even emailed me photos so that we could discuss e.g., types of paving slabs, etc.
I do not give 10/10’s easily, however, in this case I simply cannot fault Gary on anything and I cannot speak too highly of him. He is professional, very friendly, easy to get on with, reliable, totally trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with him working on my property. Great communication, gave good advice and takes great pride in his work.
I have no idea how he does this but he was the cleanest and tidiest tradesman that I have ever had. The areas he was working on were always kept so clean and tidy.
Greengage Gardens have transformed my garden; excellent work and quality, and a totally top notch service.
I would highly recommend Gary to anyone."
- Landscaping the front garden and an overhaul of the back garden which had become overgrown.
I did get a few quotes but the main reason that I chose Gary is because I had some wacky ideas – he listened, he knew what I wanted and he was able to share my vision for the end result.
The garden is now totally fantastic and incorporates an old London telephone box, large decking area, pergola, new flower beds etc.
Gary is a friendly chap and easy to talk to. I work night shifts and I felt very comfortable giving him a key to my home so that he could let himself in to use the electrics whilst I was asleep upstairs – totally trustworthy.
I have already recommended Gary to others – he is highly recommendable."
- Total redesign of garden.
He had to take a large area and level it to down to the grass level. He then ensured that a very firm and stable base was laid. As we are an elderly couple, he chose the slabs very carefully so that they were safe and non-slippy and he was also able to match them to other existing ones in our garden.
He also did some work for a quadriplegic friend of ours and constructed everything with care and consideration for his wheelchair. He can now move around the garden and has a lovely specific area where he can wheel himself to in order to enjoy the garden.
Gary is thoughtful, genuine, professional, polite, personable and he provided an excellent service. If one of my sons did the work that Gary does, and did it in the same manner, I would be immensely proud.
I cannot fault Gary in any way and I have no doubt that I made the perfect choice when employing him for the work. Having successfully used other members of Safe Local Trades in the past, Greengage Gardens is a perfect candidate for membership."
- Large project of laying a garden path.
