Absolute Gardens Ltd

Peter and Jack were professional, efficient and hard working. They completed building the fence brilliantly leaving no mess. Thank you.

We booked Absolute Gardens to replace a rotted, raised decking area and lay a new patio. Chris was really easy to deal with when we were planning the project and offered some excellent advice in regard to positioning of steps, lighting and materials to use. The team of Peter and Jack were extremely professional and friendly, very tidy and the level of workmanship was excellent. All the team were happy to field questions and address any changes we wanted as we went along. They also kept us informed of timescales throughout the project and finished the job exactly when they said they would. We would highly recommend Chris and his Absolute Gardens team; they work to a very high specification and standard and are really easy to deal with. We would definitely use them again.

We had our patio area at the rear replaced including a new wall, move of steps at Chris' good suggestion and new fencing at the side. The requirements changed as the old concrete was removed and Chris explained how this would be done. Peter and Jack carried out all the work in an excellent and efficient way, letting us know each day what would be done. Despite bad weather during the work they remained cheerful and carried on regardless. When it was necessary to postpone on certain days some of the work because of heavy rain they gave the reasoning and returned as soon as the rain stopped.

We met Chris in February 2019 to discuss our outline plans for our front garden. These consisted of; 1) new driveway 2) new steps and path to the front door and back gate 3) replace the collapsing wall between us and our neighbour 4) replace front wall to the front garden. Chris was very clear about what was required and made a couple of suggestions that were very helpful. He then let us have a written quote within 2 weeks and we paid a small deposit and agreed a start date in September. Chris invited us to visit some of the local sites where he has worked to see the quality of their workmanship. We didn't visit any because of the great reviews on this site and Chris had been recommended to us by another trustworthy local trader. Work started promptly in the second week of September and progressed steadily through to completion last week on 17th October, about 5 weeks. Despite the variable weather the team were on site for every day except one (which was torrential rain). Dan, Gary, Jack and Chris all worked hard every day throughout. The work was completed on time and exactly to the original quote. I would thoroughly recommend Absolute Gardens for their professionalism, craftsmanship, friendliness and ability to contribute to what we were trying to achieve. We didn't have any issues at all because it felt like a partnership with Chris and his team and anything that came up was dealt with as we went along. Absolute Gardens is a top, top trader and so say our neighbours too!

Have used Absolute Gardens on a number of occasions. This was probably the biggest job I have used them for. They have remodelled the entire frontage of my house with a new block-paved driveway, front wall, sidewall and fence. They also did a small rear patio. They were very accommodating and flexible. Work was done on time as planned and to an excellent standard. Really happy with everything and people have commented on how good the driveway looks and that it lifts the whole character of the house. Great job.

We have used Absolute Gardens once before and we were delighted with the workmanship then. This time we wanted to make changes to the lawn and add a pathway. Peter and Jack made a wonderful job. They thought through every part of the changes and offered constructive suggestions when required. We could not have asked for a more dedicated and hardworking team. They were highly efficient at all times and extremely neat and tidy. I would recommend Absolute Gardens every time.

Absolute gardens recently replaced and extended our existing patio, paths and steps with Indian sandstone. This included building an additional retaining wall and rebuilding and widening steps to the front of our house. Dan and Gary were very polite and tidy and did an excellent job. They always double-checked with us at each decision point. The end product meets all our requirements and was completed to schedule and budget. I was initially unsure about the slab colour but with Chris' guidance, I opted for a lighter shade than originally intended (to avoid excessive colour contrast between slabs). I have no hesitation in recommending Absolute Gardens.

We had a driveway and retaining wall completed. The crew were Peter and Jack. What can we say what a great work ethic. They were punctual and tidy. Their method of laying a driveway gives confidence that it will last many decades. We would have no hesitation in recommending this firm for all outdoor work that you need.

After several weather-related delays(!), the team from Absolute Gardens completed my job very quickly. Some decorative garden brickwork and repairs to a water feature surround just as planned. Very nice work, and a very tidy job as well.
