You will receive a written quote upfront and progress updates during the work, along with access instructions and any parking considerations.

We also offer flexible maintenance packages and seasonal plans to suit gardens of all sizes.
From the initial inquiry to the final handover, we follow a clear, collaborative process. You'll receive a detailed quote after a site visit or photos, followed by a proposed plan and timeline. Once you approve, we assign DBS-checked gardeners, share a risk assessment, and schedule the project. Throughout, you'll get progress updates, interim notes, and photo evidence of milestones. After completion, we provide a final report, any care instructions, and an opportunity to review our work via Trustpilot, Google Reviews, or Checkatrade.
