Outstanding jobWe asked Paul at Tidy Gardens to undertake a major garden clearance - topping out overgrown trees, taking out and thinning bushes and general ground clearance.
Not only did his team do an outstanding job, but was flexible around timing, offered us great advice and even kept the neighbours happy. We could not recommend him highly enough to others who need either a major makeover like us or regular maintenance.Read more
Excellent garden service
Paul has done several large jobs for us in the garden over the last year - getting trees out, creating beds, reducing boundary tree height, fence building - and he has always provided an excellent service. He has proved to be a reliable and hard worker, and has always given us very fair prices. He's a nice chap too 🙂Read more

Garden Makeover - March 2017
My garden has resemble a wasteland for several years. Paul and Eddie started work on it early on Monday morning and by Saturday afternoon they had transformed it into a lawn, neatly edged with brick paving, with a flower bed at the rear ready for new plants. They carried on working through terrible weather and left everything clean and tidy when they’d finished. They are reliable, helpful, hard working and very polite and I can highly recommend them. I have already asked Paul to do more gardeni… Read more

Garden-Tidy-up-difficult-accessPaul 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.Read more
October 2018. Taming the jungle!I had an overgrown garden where trees had merged into one. I couldn’t see where one plant started and the next one ended!
We needed help and Paul was on hand to help! We arranged a visit within a few days and fortunately Paul could fit us in just a few days after that. The end product is a thinned out space where we can now plant some small shrubs. Paul gave me some ideas about what we could plant. Paul worked tirelessly on the job and I would have no hesitation in recommending him!Read more

buddleia cut back
Paul came very promptly to quote for chopping our enormous budliea. His quote was very reasonable and he returned next day to carry out the work. Very professional, gave sound advice about other plants in the garden, did a great job and took all rubbish away. Also cleaned up very thoroughly afterwards. I would gladly have him back for more work and recommend him to friends. Thanks Paul!Read more

July 2018. One day major overhaul
July 2018 – Paul and his team came for just one day to do a major overhaul in our large and very overgrown garden to prepare it for rental. They were extremely polite and efficient, and finished the whole front and back garden well within one day – it was an amazing transformation, they also took away all the green waste that was created that day. We were really impressed – so much so that we have asked him to quote for a fence renovation and even more clearance at the back of our garden. Many … Read more

Paul and the team are steadily improving the whole garden of over 0.5acres. We communicate well on what he thinks and what we want so he builds trust quickly. The team are not the cheapest but they do work harder than other gardeners so there’s overall good value.Read more
Overgrown Cypress Leylandii
Despite dreadful weather, Paul arrived punctually and worked tirelessly carrying out excellent work. He left the area perfectly clean and 'tidy'. I was most impressed and now that my huge hedge has been brought under control I will be hiring Tidy Gardens on a regular basis.Read more
Mr Sikka, Reading, December 2013
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. During t… Read more
Gardening in Tilehurst
Paul and Eddie were back to trim our tree, grub out old buddleia and rampant ivy - all quickly and more importantly, professionally. Unlike previous firms we have used, every scrap was removed afterwards. Tidy Gardens have been our go to firm for years, and we wouldn’t dream of using anyone else. They’re the best.Read more
