Highlights
"Marley was professional throughout the job. He landscaped the front and back of my garden and provided some excellent advice. I really appreciated the fact that Marley continued to make the changes I requested to ensure that I was totally happy with the end result. Marley was easy to work with and I appreciated his willingness to address any issues I had. I had no worries about timekeeping or cleanliness. Marley sometimes came with his team who were equally helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to commission Marley and his team again. I am a happy customer!"
"Marley did an amazing job putting in the tiles into our garden and the front of our house. He works hard, even through the hot weather (UK heat is terrible) the outcome was amazing! Would 100% recommend and will definitely be contacting him again for any further garden work."
"Without a doubt the best gardener I’ve had. Attention to detail, the care, efforts and quality of work put in are unmatched. Goes above and beyond to get my garden looking it’s best, even doing bits I would not of expected to be done. One example he moved my kids broken goal post onto my rubbish pile! He is super tidy and it’s so refreshing that he leaves the garden not only maintained but tidy as well. I have a bit of OCD as well when it comes to my grass and I honestly cannot fault this guy! Amazing job everytime. Really nice guy and always takes time to answer any questions I have!"

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
