  • Gardening - clearing overgrown area

    9.5Verified Review

    Dave is excellent at his job and gives useful advice prior to starting work. He cleared a badly overgrown area in the garden and dug it over so that it’s now ready for planting. He is tidy, pleasant and helpful and will be coming back once a month to keep things ticking over. Highly recommended.

    Dave contacted me, I recieved a few text messages from him stated that he would like to come around and give me a quote, the next day. I took the time off work, waited for Dave to arrive. The agreed time went by, Dave never turned up. Dave didnt even send me a messag to cancel To this Day, I have heard nothing.

  • Dave does a great job

    9.75Verified Review

    Dave has been doing spring and fall/winter cleanups in my small Southampton garden for a couple of years. He's great! Very nice to work with and chat with. He's sensible, knows his plants, arrives pretty close to the agreed time, completes jobs on schedule and cheerfully. His prices are very reasonable. Just keep him fueled with some cups of tea (milk, one sugar) and he's good to go :-)

    Having been let down by my previous gardener, I engaged the services of Dave and all I can say is "wow, what a difference it makes employing a fully trained professional", as his standards of workmanship and knowledge of the craft are second to none! Not only has he transformed my lawns and flower beds, another indication of his overall attention to every detail, is the fact that I've never seen the exterior and interior of any tradesperson's vehicle being kept so clean and tidy, it literally is immaculate and thus this is a further sign of his diligence. Therefore, I can thoroughly recommend him 100%!

    We highly recommend Dave. Really friendly and great service. Responded quickly to the job. Completely cleared the garden and jet washed the patio and side area. All looks amazing now and we’ll definitely be getting him back for regular gardening maintenance.
