Absolute Gardens Ltd

Chris from absolute gardens was the go to guy when I needed my old patio replaced and enlarged. He listened to what I wanted and explained what he could do and gave me price , which we agreed on and a date was set for the work to commence. His team of Pete and Jack were very friendly and arrived on time and set to work straight away. Even when the weather conspired against them it didn't dampen their spirits. The work was completed within time and to a high standard, they even had time to sort out my rotary washing line. All in all a fantastic new patio has been delivered for us to enjoy the rest of the summer.

We met with Chris after reading Which reviews and the brief was to transform our elevated garden plot of solid clay, flint and weeds into a useable space and to replace a boundary wall to create privacy. After three weeks of extreme hard graft (in extreme heat!), Chris' team of Dan and Yani did just that. The job was complicated due to the levels and steep steps up to the plot but it didn't phase these professionals. The guys were punctual, dedicated to the task, giving advice and suggestions along the way. We are now enjoying our beautiful new garden terrace and are very proud of what they have created. We would highly recommend Chris and his team.

The missus decided that the patio needed replacing as the existing was way past its sell-by date and therefore contacted a local trader, Absolute Gardens. Chris, the owner, came round to inspect the site last summer and due to what was required, it was agreed that the work would be done this summer when the ground had had a chance to dry out as the house has no side access and the rubble would need to go out through the garage. We received the phone call a few weeks back and the digging out started on the Monday. Jack and Pete were the combination who were here for the duration with Chris making the occasional visit to check progress. Despite the inevitable dust, the pair were as tidy as possible and appraised us of what was happening. They were also very courteous throughout

The task was to remove 50 year old crazy paving and two sets of steps from the house, removal of stone raised bed wall and erect two trellis panels. The complications were the variance of levels and slopes and a tricky corner, also a lady very prone to change her mind. We had no set ideas so Chris's expertise and professional to his fingertips guided us to a lovely new larger patio with smart brickwork and safer steps. The stars of the show were the two hard working men who completed this work in the hottest weather we have had for years. Peter and Jack are two of the nicest, most courteous and helpful people you could have working on you home. Peter consulted and informed us every step of the way. They even carried in my shopping! Oh! by the way the husband of said lady is also delighted with the end result and maybe a bit relieved his wife is! Thankyou Chris, Peter and Jack.

Having had a new conservatory built we now needed our old patio taken up and reshaped. We found Chris very helpful with ideas for shape and lighting etc. I was able to view a garden they were working on and this helped when choosing slabs. The work was finished about a year ago now and still looks lovely which is why we are now asking for another area of our garden to be done by his team who we always found polite, hardworking and tidy.

Chris and his team created a large wrap around patio for us last year. From the initial contact through to on going garden maintenance he has been nothing but professional. He helped us choose the right paving stones for our patio and advised us which ones would be harder to maintain than others. The quality of the finished product is fantastic. Total attention to detail and very hard working - in all weathers! It looks really superb. Can't recommend highly enough! Clare Chappell

A large part of my garden had become overgrown with bramble and other weeds, a tree had outgrown its spot and a boundary fence was nearing the end of its life. The Absolute Gardens team sorted all this out exactly as agreed and left me with renovated areas of the garden ready for planting. Dan, Yani, Stephen and Aaron were all very hard workers who were reliable, left a clear and tidy site and took a pride in their work. Chris was great in advising me on the job at the outset and in calling round to make sure that the guys were clear on what was required. I have already recommended Absolute Gardens to friends and will have no hesitation is using them again for future garden projects. Book in advance - their services are in demand - and rightly so!

Having lived with our weird shaped decking for a few years we decided to upgrade to a paved patio, we had a number of quotes from various people but when we spoke to Chris we decided to go with Absolute gardens, nothing seemed to be a problem and we felt confident they would do a great job.... we were right we now have a lovely level slate patio with a couple of steps down to the garden. Dan and his colleague were helpful, polite and hard working, we are really pleased with the work they have done and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone! Great job guys, thanks!!

My garden needed a a huge overhaul, and having spoken with a few companies I chose Chris from Absolute Gardens..... and I'm so glad I did. Not once through the 6 week project did I ever worry about quality of work or progress. the work ethic of the team ( I mostly had Chris and Yani) was phenomenal, they worked so hard and to such a high standard that even my ex army elderly father was impressed (he couldn't fault them)! My garden is large, terraced and on clay (so difficult soil), but Chris and Yani overcame any issue they faced, and Chris made suggestions along the way which were welcomed, as he has a brilliant eye for detail, and could see potential which I had overlooked. The end result was stunning and it is now a pleasure to look out on to a garden with beautiful hard and soft landscaping, and I know that the stonework will last a lifetime. I was so impressed I've rebooked Absolute to come back and do my front garden wall, and also to come in 4 times a year to keep on top of things. I really can't fault this company and would not hesitate to recommend them. I work hard for my money, and I know that the end result Chris achieved was worth every penny!!

Having been let down by two previous garden companies - they didn't turn up to give estimates as promised - we decided to phone Absolute Gardens. Chris booked an appointment and came at the time arranged. He was very pleasant and explained the different types of fencing to us and showed us different types on the laptop. Having chosen the fence he sent an acceptable estimate to which we agreed. The fencing work was carried out during the very cold period in December. The men never complained about the weather they, just got on with the job in hand. The work was carried out both efficiently and to our total satisfaction. When the men left each day it was as if they hadn't been there. They cleaned and tidied everything before leaving our property, even down to sweeping the kitchen floor. The work was carried out tidily with minimal disruption and damage to the plants in the garden. We have a fish pond, which could have been a problem, but they solved that by covering it and no damage was down either to the pond or the fish. They worked throughout the day and were always cheerful and pleasant and uncomplaining about the cold conditions and very wet soil they had to dig for the fence posts. The men worked as a team - they never appeared to communicate instructions to each other - it was as if they knew what they had to do and "got on with it". We would recommend Absolute Gardens for their efficiency, workmanship, friendliness and politeness. A great job by a great company.

We approached Absolute Gardens having heard good reviews of their work. We wanted to change the layout of our patio at the same time as changing the slabs themselves. We took on board Chris' ideas and recommendations and it quickly became clear he knew his stuff. We also wanted to build a log cabin and a shed at the bottom of our garden so needed two concrete bases built. On top of the two main projects we had some old garden walls removed and replaced with sleepers, a hedge removed and replaced with a fence and a pergola built on the new patio. All of these were carried out well and have dramatically improved our back garden. Our house had just been re rendered and our requests for care to be taken during the patio laying stage were carefully adhered to. Dan and his team are very courteous and were very tidy throughout the job which took about 6 weeks. Dan has some good ideas and is clearly passionate about his work. The process from quoting to finishing the job was carried out in a very professional manner and we would not hesitate in recommending them.

Dan and his colleague removed a long line of fencing which had some stubborn posts and concrete! They were diligent in preparing the ground for our Cherry Laurel hedge which was suggested and sourced by Chris, the owner, whose ideas were very helpful. Dan also extended our shed base ready for our new larger shed. They were punctual, polite and hard working and the price was reasonable. Would definitely recommend them.

Chris and his team have successfully transformed both our back and front gardens. We’re on a sloping plot and they have installed terracing that provides useable spaces and beds that we can now plant up with ease. While we had vague ideas of what we wanted from our garden, Chris was able to respond to our sketchy thoughts with a solid design plan. The work on the back garden was completed a few years ago and they have recently completed the front. On both occasions the work plan was discussed with awareness of how the weather would potentially affect the timetable. When working on the back we had one of the longest periods of snow on the ground, but as it had been anticipated the programme continued with awnings and heaters on hand while the patio was laid. A few years on it still looks great. We have always found Chris and his team professional and courteous, easy to get along with and keen to get stuck into the job in hand.

I am absolutely delighted with my front garden, a real transformation which a lot of people have commented on. When Chris quoted for this job he came up with ideas and solutions which gave me confidence that he was a true professional and knew his job. Dan oversaw the job and worked with another colleague, he had patience helping me choose the right paving, They worked hard and well together, they always tidied and cleaned up at the end of each day. Dan is a perfectionist and clearly takes pride in his work, Altogether a job very well done. I would certainly use Absolute Gardens again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Chris and his team have just completed a patio and low wall for us. Chris is very knowledgeable and advised on the best plan for the area. We trusted him completely to choose the right bricks and slabs and they work perfectly. All the team were reliable, polite and extremely hard working. We are very happy and have no hesitation in recommending Absolute Gardens. Will be using them again in the future for a couple more projects.

Very pleased with a fantastic new drive. Totally transformed the front of the house. Dan and his team worked very hard through a difficult job. Chris was always on hand for expert advice and help. First class workmanship and attention to detail. Would highly recommend them.

Chris the owner provided excellent help and advice on the work we required in our front garden. We were allocated a team of workers, led by Dan, who were professional and diligent in completing the hard landscaping and fencing work. Chris was always on hand to monitor progress and ensure that the work was of the highest standard. A very friendly and helpful company. Eamon Connolly 22/7/17

Chris and his team worked tirelessly to clear our garden and build a bespoke privacy screen, large raised patio area, pergola and concrete base for the new summer house. Dan in particular was great and has great attention to detail. It's hard to find someone who you would trust for such a big job and we are very happy with the final result from Absolute Gardens. They used high quality materials and it was all at a good price. Highly recommend and have already referred them to friends!

We are delighted with the construction carried out by Absolute Gardens Ltd. The team worked tirelessly to construct a pergola and rose arch and the workmanship is first class. We would have no hesitation in recommending them. In fact friends called them in on our recommendation to repair their fence and they are delighted with the finish. Many thanks to Chris and his team.

The owner Chris is very professional and friendly including all his guys. Very open to all your ideas and takes the time to explain everything as the landscaping takes shape. They did our back garden and have just done our front garden. I would highly recommend Absolute Gardens. Lovely guys, always on time and puts in 110% every time!

Chris,Pete and team had a tricky task in tidying up the side of our garden after some building work but produced an attractive split level patio which involved lifting our shed to an appropriate level. We are very pleased with the work.

I have had my garden completely made over including removal of what was there, terracing of the garden and flower beds and with a wonderful new patio installed. Great workmanship and a quality finish.

Chris and his team were professional, reliable and completed an excellent job in clearing my garden and removing trees and stumps. I will use them again and recommend them to friends Karen

Chris and his team cleared our garden and erected a new fence. They arrived on time and worked hard even though the weather was freezing, The finished fence was excellent. They cleared everything up and left our garden clean and tidy. I would unreservedly recommend them.
