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.Read more
Jay, Caversham Heights, Reading, October 2013
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
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

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. Read more

Pawel and his team arrived promptly and got down to work quickly on what was a tough job - clearing brambles and strimming on a steep slope and cutting back some very overgrown shrubs and trees. I’m very pleased with the result - it looks so tidy! It was very good value for money. Read more

Hard working, friendly and a great job! I'd spent some time trying to get quotes for the removal of a huge blackberry bush and some work on an out of control honeysuckle bush but Pawel was the quickest to reply with a time to come and view and a very reasonable quote. The job was organised very quickly too and in a few hours the huge amount of work was completed. Would really recommend.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
Garden cut back and tidy
We moved into our property last year and the garden needed some immediate attention. We started doing it ourselves but it soon became apparent that it needed some professional attention. I started looking around for local trustworthy gardeners and as soon as I saw Paul’s website I knew he would be the company I wanted to use. Not only were the already submitted testimonials great, but the pictures spoke for themselves. I contacted Paul and he replied straight away and popped round for a chat. He… Read more
Personable and professional, April 2014
Excellent work at a competitive price. Listened to what I needed doing and added his professional knowledge to make sure my Trees were not damaged. Friendly and quick. I would certainly recommend.Read more
Professional, personable, good quality work
Paul carried out some work on my property today. It was a relatively small job (extending a path using paving stones) which took him and his colleague about a day to complete. He and his colleague turned up on time and then proceeded to carry out the work as agreed. The quality of work was excellent and he kept me informed to what he was doing, to ensure that the work was being done to my satisfaction. After completion he tidied up and left the premises neat and tidy. I would not hesitate to con… 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
Alison, Reading, December 2013
My garden was in need of a lot of TLC. I contacted Paul who arrived straight away and gave me a quote. He arrived at the weekend in the rain and did a fantastic job of clearing weeds, cutting down dead trees, pruning roses, cutting back ivy and much more. He completed the job, even e-mailed me with ideas of what to plant in the space I now had. I would definitely recommend Paul. Thank you very much.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

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.Read more
Front lawn landscaped
Paul recently re-landscaped my front lawn. He removed so serious hard to get tree stumps, levelled out the ground, relaid the lawn and finished off by doing some pave edgings for some rose bushes. The quality of his work was really good and he even started the work on the Easter Monday Bank Holiday. I have already recommended him to my brother and will do the same to those who ask who did the work. Excellent work by a polite and friendly chap.Read more
