Highlights

"Can't remember how many years it is since I first employed GW Landscapes to look after the trees and hedges at my previous home but wouldn't dream of employing anyone else. John is very knowledgeable, does a superb job and always clears everything away. Having moved house and in need of new decking, we had no hesitation in asking him to do the job. Absolutely delighted with the result. As always, a first class job."

"John and his team are very professional. They turned up on time, concentrated on our garden for a full 3 weeks - never leaving the job to do other jobs elsewhere. Suggested the best materials we should use and provided us with a clear vision of what the end result would look like . They gave us a price before work commenced and only settled the bill in full once the work was complete and we were fully satisfied. Totally trustworthy and happy to recommend ."

Fantastic end result. Delivered more than was expected. The garden gate is solid and of very good quality - some nice finishing touches too. I would highly recommend John and his team.

John listened carefully what we wanted and when he thought necessary he made some suggestions which we did take on board and followed his design and are absolutely delighted with the finished drive. The guys that work for him were polite and helpful and I was very impressed with their attention - not only to the detail on the drive BUT also taking care not to let any of our dogs out (we have three). John kept us totally informed as to the stage of the job and completed the work on time. Totally recommend

John and his team worked so hard transforming our garden and replacing fencing. So professional and always considered our neighbours during the work. Care and attention to detail was taken in all aspects and the results speak for themselves. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending GW Landscapes and will have them back in the future for some additional work we are considering. Overall a fantastic job done by a fantastic team.

GW Landscapes had started work on a neighbours garden. I knew I had a problem with a raised bed which I thought would take only a few minutes to rectify, but when John looked at the problem it became so obvious that the original construction was totally rotten and beyond repair. John was very knowledgeable and professional and explained why it had probably happened, and what could be done to rectify the situation. So as he and his team became available they started on my job. They were all pleasant and very professional, with John explaining at every stage the work that was going to be undertaken and why, and if I asked for suggestions about planting he used his extensive knowledge to offer suggestions but at no time did he force a plan of action on me - as he said "It is your garden". A very professional job with an excellent team, and I would definitely employ them again.

John and his team did a fantastic job on my back garden, it has been totally transformed. John is very knowledgeable, polite, considerate and very hard working. The weather held the job up slightly, but I am very pleased with the result. I would not hesitate to recommend GW Landscaping.

Very impressed with John and his team! Got back to me very quick with a quote and then even managed to fit the job in on the same afternoon! Requested a quote on Saturday evening & job was completed by Tuesday afternoon! They cleared up all the mess and was very friendly. Driveway is now looking a lot tidier. Surprising what some gravel stones can do! Would use again. :)

We had a couple of smaller jobs that John and his team were able to complete at very short notice (Partial garden fence replacement and tree cutting) - They managed them quickly and conveniently under poor weather conditions. High quality work and expert knowledge around Tree Surgery etc. They were friendly, hard-working and even made sure neighbours were aware of what was going on. No hesitation in providing a recommendation, and will be having them back for more work in the future.

I would highly recommend this company and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks lads. Top job 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

Works was carried out efficiently and initially impressed with what had been done, but it was dark when he left. After contacting several times about ripples and lumps in the artificial grass, I had no reply, don’t pay any money until your entirely happy with the work he carries out

Reply from the business

"Thank you for your feedback. The artificial grass was laid to the customers satisfaction however after we had done so, the client drove their car over it which has caused the ripples. Customer service is very important to us as verified by reviews from previous clients."

I recently employed GW Landscapes to replace existing decking and edge lawn in rear garden and replace steps and paving in front garden. John was very helpful with his advise and ideas. Both John and his team were very friendly and the work was carried out to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We needed log roll retaining walls replacing. When John first came round he explained exactly what his men would do and what we needed to do to allow them to work. He gave me a rough date of when they could do the work. The quote arrived when he said it would and we decided to go ahead and use them. John kept me informed about the start date and they turned up on time and got started immediately. The job took as long as John said it would and they have done an excellent job. The guys were great, very polite and hard working. We were extremely pleased with the results and have asked them to do more work for us. I would highly recommend GW Landscapes for any garden work.

Before you hire a landscaper

Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour — a vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials' — agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated — protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
