Highlights
"Hawthorn were quick to respond to request with immediate site visit and subsequent quote. Work date was confirmed to suit a cooperative of four adjoining gardens. The team worked hard all day in challenging weather and often crampt parts of the gardens. All cuttings taken off site and team returned in the morning for inspection and further tidying."
"Garden looks great again following work carried out by Hawthorn. Friendly team and very thorough. Highly recommend! 👍🏼👍🏼"
Detailed reviews
Hawthorn were quick to respond to request with immediate site visit and subsequent quote. Work date was confirmed to suit a cooperative of four adjoining gardens. The team worked hard all day in challenging weather and often crampt parts of the gardens. All cuttings taken off site and team returned in the morning for inspection and further tidying.
I arranged with this company to have a mixed bush reduced at the cost of £280. All correspondence were by email only which was quite slow. On the first occasion they were meant to attend, they cancelled due to staff sickness. I waited a further two weeks and they were meant to arrive 9.9.25. I took another day off of work and low and behold they didn't even show up and with absolutely no communication as to why they didn't attend. This has been an absolutely awful experience. If you are looking for a reliable garden service, look elsewhere.
Garden looks great again following work carried out by Hawthorn. Friendly team and very thorough. Highly recommend! 👍🏼👍🏼

Smart checks
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.
