Nick has proved an excellent landscaper and has rationalised our large garden to be even more visually beautiful and assisted in improving the orchard trees and providing solid advice.  Pleased to recommend.
Customer in Bletchingley, 22 March 2011
Nicholas created a unique landscaped front garden for me in 2009-2010. he bought creative thinking and practical ability to the project. He sourced many sustainable products. His price for the job was inclusive and very reasonable. I'd have no hesitation to recommend him.

Garden cleared, fruit trees and roses pruned. Then replanting done.

He is perfect and just gets the job done, he stays longer than he should to ensure that everything gets done. He has taken over a mature garden and has transformed it. I cant fault him in anyway and I highly recommend him.

Patio Design and Build

Nicholas and his team provided us with a super patio reaching across the entire back of the house. It incorporated a decorative rainwater pond, overflow planters and steps. His work was meticulous, great attention to detail and little disturbance to us.

Deep digging areas of our clay garden for us to plant

Nick (and James) worked like Trojans. The ground was very heavy but the task was completed as we wanted. Excellent work, very tidy and pleasant. He gave me suggestions for planting.

Vegetable Garden

Nicholas designed and implemented a concentric circular 'key hole' raised bed vegetable garden for us, surrounded by a step over rabbit proof fence and box hedge. We now get impressive organically grown crops for most of the year, pesticide free thanks to the intercropping and companion planting that Nicholas showed us. Not only are we really happy with our new vegetable garden but it has provided our two sons with an added interest in growing some of our own food - an important lesson for anyone!

Cut back decaying plum tree

This is the second tree Nicholas has cut back for me and again he did a thorough and neat job. He arrived on time and the work was done within the time and cost frame he cited. Couldn't be happier with the job done.

Trimmed apple tree

Nicholas gave a very reasonable quotation and was thorough and professional when it came to carrying out the work. When I asked for additional work to be done (the wood to be cut up into smaller logs) he was happy to help and kept me appraised of the additional cost. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to cut back a tree as he was knowledgeable and skilful and was able to right errors commit by the previous owners who had simply attacked it with a saw - hopefully resulting in more fruit in the future!
