10 Perfect Job
Posted 1 day ago
We needed several hedge roots removed and the borders cleared. Paul who did the job was fantastic. After removing the roots and weeds he raked over the borders and cleared another border of stones. He was working in extremely hot weather but this didn’t deter him and we were so pleased with the standard of his work . Highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: NG28.33 Great quick and quality service

I booked a weed control service through Find a Local Gardener and couldn’t be happier with the results. The process was straightforward and hassle-free, making it easy to find the right professional for the job. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the gardener, Ash, really delivered. He tackled the weeding thoroughly in both the garden and around the property, leaving everything looking neat and tidy. Efficient, professional, and clearly someone who takes pride in their work—I’m very pleased with the outcome.Verified reviewerJob location: OX1610 Weeding front drive

Ian was very friendly. There was good communication and he asked what exactly we wanted. He worked efficiently and went the extra mile by pushing some slabs together for us and trimming down a bush slightly. The drive looked amazing afterwards - all the weeds gone. He left everything neat and tidy, and I would hire him again any time.Verified reviewerJob location: CV11
