Excel Landscaping

Need to revise my earlier experiences of Excel Landscaping now that I have access to the lawn that was poorly laid in addition to the excavated material that remains at site since 30 April 2026.

Poor landscaping

Large deck (6x7m) laid expertly by the team. Praise specifically to Ben for his attention to detailing with the large slope underneath.

Large Garden Deck laid perfectly

I needed gravel, bark and membrane removed urgently from my front garden along with dwarf cherry laurels planted and the team did a great job getting everything sorted quickly. There were a few hiccups due to a faulty digger and keeping me updated but once they were here they were friendly, professional and easy to deal with. Lovely guys when I met them, and I appreciated how hard they worked despite the setbacks. Will be using them for my back garden as I like their ideas since I haven’t got a clue! Thank you!

Work undertaken but now, 15 days after demobilisation, there is still two tonnes of waste material on site.  Despite countless promises from the contractor to remove I am now having to arrange for disposal with a third party

Garden Turfing

We expected the work to be done on the 06/05 but due to unforeseen circumstances that weren’t the lads fault the work was complete the 08/05 which was a good turn around. The work was brilliant. Ben the joiner took real care with great attention to detail plus he worked in all 4 seasons in one day to get done. All in all would definitely recommend excel with the work being quality and nice fellas.

We recently had artificial grass laid in our garden and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial quote to the finished job, everything was handled professionally and efficiently.

The team arrived on time, worked hard throughout, and kept the area clean and tidy each day. They took the time to properly prepare the ground, which really shows in the final finish – the lawn looks incredibly neat and natural.

Communication was great throughout the process, and they were happy to answer any questions we had and offer helpful advice on maintenance.

The end result has completely trans
