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.
Mrs. L. Shinfield, September 2013Paul has been reshaping and clearing my garden borders which has involved removing ivy from a wall, digging up some small trees, taming the climbing plants and clearing and turning over the soil in order to plant or relocate new shrubs.
I can now see the small garden path which had been covered in weeds for years! The shrubs now have a chance to thrive and survive the winter. Throughout, he has been industrious and thorough in tackling each of the problem areas. He is also knowledgeable…

April 2020 What a transformation! We recently moved into a property where the hedges had been neglected for years, and were massively overgrown. Paul and his colleague cut the hedges right back and shaped them nicely. Removed bramble that had become embedded in the hedges, and ivy that had taken over the garden. We also had a couple of trees removed. This mammoth task was completed in a day, and although the garden looks bare this needed to be done to really open up the space, and will allow fo… 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

An excellent job done to a very overgrown garden. Hedges cut, trees re-shaped and all cuttings removed. Reliable, punctual, friendly and polite. Come with my full recommendations. Thank you very much
Jo Marsh
Absolutely fabulous. Paul and his colleague worked tirelessly on my very overgrown border, it looks amazing and I cannot recommend his service enough.
Matt
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.

July 2020 Super happy! Tidy gardens did a really thorough job at sorting out our very overgrown and scruffy front garden. Paul is knowledgable and has a great work ethic. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely be using again.

Paul made a lovely job of cutting our hedge. We found him reliable and tidy. He will be our first choice in all our garden work from now on.
New look - garden landscaped
We moved recently and the small garden was very overgrown. However, with the help of Paul and Eddie we now have a completely renovated garden with new patio areas, lawn and flower beds. We are so pleased with the result. Paul and Eddie worked tirelessly and were extremely professional. Paul is quite knowledgeable about plants and garden design and they both took great pride in their work. We would definitely recommend them.
Please have a look at the video of this project

June 2021 Paul provides an excellent service he is knowledgeable and tidies up after himself. Thoroughly recommended
Front garden renovation
We had Paul last year to sort out our back garden after we moved to a new address as it was so overgrown. We were extremely pleased so he returned to renovate our front garden after we had finished the house refurbishment. Again Paul and his colleague Eddie worked tirelessly and after only a few days the garden was looking lovely and pristine, and easily manageable, just what we wanted. He has good ideas and again it is better than if we had done it ourselves without his input. We would defi… Read more

August 2019 Our very large, long, and overgrown hedge, was cut and re-shaped and by Paul and his partner exactly as promised. So hard-working and easy to deal with. Great job!! Highly Recommended!!
Garden Clearance and Stump Removal
Paul and team worked very hard, were knowledgable, considerate and very tidy. Garden cleared as promised and to a very good standard. Will be getting the team back to do 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.
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.
Exceeds expectations
I was the estate manager for a well-known spa hotel with extensive grounds, and can honestly say that I wish I had access to the Tidy Gardens team back then. Paul is knowledgeable and extremely hard-working, and unusually, exceeds expectations on a regular basis. I wholeheartedly recommend Tidy Gardens for whatever jobs you need doing in your garden.
