Refreshed gravel area and new ground cover planting

Let’s not beat about the bush..

Was asked to refresh the area around the vegetable patches and come up with some planting ideas for two borders along the fence. Ultimately Low maintanance borders. Also to plant some bushes to provide some screening and be attractive as well.

We would highly recommend Paul as we are so pleased with our front garden. He provided an efficient, knowledgeable and professional service where we were very happy with the end result and all at a very reasonable price! Thank you Paul

October 2019 We asked Paul of Tidy Gardens to carry our some lawn levelling and turfing work following construction of a new patio. All work was carried out in a professional but friendly manner and to our satisfaction. We are very pleased with the result and would recommend the team to other clients.

February 2020, First Class Service! Paul was quick to respond to us. He did a first class job with his associate in cutting back trees and shrubs in our front and back gardens. Both gardens were left in a neat and tidy condition. Paul is easy to work. I thoroughly recommend him.

Tidy Gardens services and maintenance reviews

Thank you, our jungle now looks like a garden again! Paul was hardworking and clearly takes pride in a job well done. Looking forward to enjoying the garden now Paul and team are on board to do regular maintenance.

Paul and Eddie spent a day clearing our very overgrown garden. They worked really hard for a good price and now I can see our flower beds again and can start planting them with proper plants rather than watch brambles and ivy take over the space. They also left the garden really tidy, which I appreciated. Have already asked Paul to quote for another job.

My garden was a mess and I was trying to find someone who could not only help but also guide me to keep it in good shape. After looking around a lot and not finding the right person, I came across Tidy Gardens website and met Paul. All I can say is that I couldn’t have asked for a better person. Not only Paul did a fantastic job of cleaning the garden but also gave it a good shape and came up with fantastic suggestions that I couldn’t even think off. And it doesn’t even end there.

June 2021. Impressive! Thank you to Pavel and his team. Our garden looked awful before they arrived as we had removed lots of leylandii/fir trees and the ground was left with dozens of stumps, uneven ground and a rotten fence. This is where Pavel and his team came in and transformed the area – working very efficiently even in the extremely hot weather. He is punctual and polite and does what he promises to do, while also giving good advice re maintenance. Our new fence is very smart and looks l… Read more

I was searching for someone to help get my garden ready for the summer and allow me a little more time to enjoy it! Upon meeting Paul for the initial quote, he was full of ideas and enthusiasm and to my surprise said he could start three days later. Paul and his wing man turned up promptly in sub zero temperatures and worked with speed, focus and accuracy for two full days. They re-did the entire rear fence, cleared substantial overgrown areas, removed one tree stump and one full tree w… Read more

I just wanted to recommend Paul as a gardener. I met him for the first time this week , I wanted a local gardener. He is so polite , pleasant and happy to please. He left the garden very tidy and neat after completing the weeding and trimming. I also have asked him to return to do some fencing for me ,I would thoroughly recommend Paul to any body.

Paul and his colleague came to my father’s garden to carry out a big tidy up. They are very hardworking and did a great job cutting back a very overgrown hedge, tidying borders, mowing and clearing away all the waste afterwards. Also great communication, emails and text answered promptly too

CHRIS - June 2019Earley, Reading

I have been very pleased with the work undertaken by Paul. It is a relief to finally find a gardener who is diligent, committed & reliable. Paul always turns up when expected and just gets on with the job in hand. It is important that you discuss your needs & requirements with Paul ideally ahead of his visit so that he is able to work without any delay. Also this makes sure that you understand how much the work will cost and how long it will take. Paul is very knowledgeable regarding plants &… Read more

Just to confirm that we employed gardener – Paul to do some work for us a while ago. The garden was quite overgrown and unkempt. This is to confirm that he was hardworking, did a good tidy job, and worked longer than was arranged in order to get the job done to our satisfaction. Would have no quarms about recommending him to anyone else. Pauline O. Tilehurst, August 2013

Paul did an excellent and speedy garden tidy up! He was punctual, polite and hardworking. The lawn was beautifully cut and the borders resurfaced once weeded. What a relief. Our fallen tree and garden rubbish was taken away. I would certainly recommend his services.

Thanks to Tidy Gardens for the excellent job Paul did on our garden. We moved into a new house in September & the garden was a complete jungle, Paul came & cleared everything out, cut down trees, bushes and cleared the mess. He worked really really hard, was punctual, very polite & cheerfull. He left the place immaculate & filled us with confidence throughout. All in all I couldn’t be happier with the service that Tidy gardens provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul – extremely helpful … Read more

Gate repair – December 2018 From start to finish this company was very professional. I even received a video of the job that had been completed. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them in the future for our customers. Many Thanks

Paul and his colleague did a wonderful job clearing my jungle and making it look like a garden again!
They worked in the freezing cold to make this transformation and I am amazed at what they achieved. So, so grateful, and not a sign that they had needed to take all the cuttings through the house. A really fantastic job.

Paul came to give us a quote to clear and tidy up our garden. I could see that even through our messy garden, he could name the plants (invaded by the weeds!)
, but he could also tell us about various weeds, and what needed to be done (other gardeners did not have that approach unfortunately – showing your knowledge is key and this is the reason he got the job). The garden is looking like I never seen it before. The house is ready to go on the market! Thank you Paul!
