Fantastic job, exceeding expectations.

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.

Excellent quality of work replacing patio area

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!

Driveway

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.

Excellent re-laying and extension of patio

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.

Our crazy paved patio and drive were in much need of repair, we contacted Absolute gardens and Chris came to see us to discuss what work needed to be done and also make some suggestion, we received a quote for the work and was told that there was no hidden extra's to the price, this did change along the way but that was because we made a few minor adjustments and was told before the work was carried out that there would be extra to pay , we were informed all along the way of the progress of the work by the two guys Daniel and Gary who have done a fantastic job. Very tidy workers, polite and helpful if you ask any questions. We would highly recommend Absolute gardens to carry out any work, they work to a very high specification and standard and we would use them again. Great value for money.

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.

Patio rebuilt and upgraded and front drive repaired

The block wall of our 20 year old patio had cracked in several places and was increasingly leaning outwards. The pointing had mostly gone from between the slabs on the patio and the edge of the block front drive had crumbled. There was no easy fix for this. Chris advised that the wall would need to be rebuilt and in the event the retaining wall was inadequate and entire new footings and a block wall reinforced with steel was built by Gary. The original facing blocks were cleaned and reused and the entire patio relaid on a reinforced cement base. The team of Gary and Dan were there every day early and worked solidly until the job was done. Dan constructed an excellent fence and Gary's work on the patio was excellent and it looks great now.
