Our hedges look fabulous after your gardeners did the cutting. So perfectly straight. I got a phone call from a neighbour to say she had just passed the house and thought the hedges looked amazing!! Well done gardeners! Many thanks for your wonderful work.

Doug and his team were great, can highly recommend! Doug came by so I could show him what was needed and offered helpful suggestions about queries I had. The team was so quick and effective. Very happy with the result.

I had 2 young men from Doug the Gardener trim my hedges, and dig a new garden, fantastic young men, so polite, on time and made a wonderful job of my hedges. They cleaned up so well, I will definitely be contacting Doug again for gardening jobs.

When the job was done they took away all the rubbish and left the place looking amazing! We would highly recommend Doug and his crew!”
