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
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
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

Value for money
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.Read more
Excellent quality, efficient and conciencous
TidyGardens came in to fell 5 mid sized conifers, install a section of high quality trellis (supplied by them), and to do a general clean up and tidy of what was a quite messy front and back garden that we inherited from the previous owners. The work was carried out very quickly, to a very high standard, and always in consultation with us, to ensure that we were happy as the work progressed. All in all, I can highly recommend TG; they are very hard working, conscientious and very keen to e… 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

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
CHRIS - June 2019
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 tooRead more
Unusual garden service
Paul provides an unusual service - he knows what he's doing! He can identify and name most plants, especially the difference between weeds and perennials unlike several of his competitors in the area. Added to that knowledge Paul and Radek provided a good service and created a very tidy garden in a few hours. Recommended.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
Reliable honest work !!
I have used Paul’s professional services three times now for fencing, fence repairs and the laying of stepping stones. I will be honest, I could have done all these jobs myself, but I simply value my free time to do other things. I can only have Paul do these jobs for me because he is real value for money. His quotes are always honest and competitive. He will always discuss your requirements and provide alternatives solutions if you want them. He just turns up and gets on with the jo… 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 2013Read more

Garden work / Reading - review
I would highly recommend TIdy Gardens for your gardening jobs. Paul provided a quote and carried out the work in an excellent manner. Tidy Gardens lives up to its name as there was no evidence of Paul being here apart from a super tidy garden. Our garden waste had to be carried through the house and there wasn't a leaf or a speck of soil around when I got home. Also Paul didn't just do what he quoted for. He went the extra mile. Look no further for your garden needs. Amanda AdkinsRead more

September 2019 - Fence work From first contact to completion, it has been a pleasure to deal with Paul and his colleagues. Very quick to respond. Very honest in assessment and advice. Took his advice are very happy with the result. Ours was a relatively small job, but still felt like offering the same help as if it were a big job was important to him. Will definitely use again when opportunity arises. Our thanks to Paul and his team.Read more

Fantastic service from Tidy GardensThe Tidy Gardens/DGL team did a first class landscaping job for us. Edward worked incredibly hard throughout and Paul's project management, attention to detail and design were really valuable, even when the scope of the project changed part way through.I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again for other garden projects in future!---You can read more about this project on our dedicated garden landscaping website - Landscaping in CavershamRead more

Hard work and expertise
My garden had become quite overgrown and I was looking for a gardening team who have all the powertools, and can take the waste away, and who also know their plants. Paul and team were the only ones I found who could do this and they did a wonderful job.My paths have been cleaned, stumps ground, borders cleared of weeds and ivy and everything has been pruned.
Paul had some excellent ideas for other things we could do to improve the garden which I am sure I will take him up on very soon.Read more
