Needing to landscape our overgrown garden we enlisted Malcolm's help. He was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent service, cutting back plants and giving us ideas for transformation of garden. Prompt service and communicated very well. Would recommend him and Sunshine Gardens.

Malcolm supplied and planted three shrubs, as agreed and undertook the repointing and resetting of paving slabs on the patio. This job proved larger than originally anticipated but was nevertheless carried out in a diligent and methodical manner to provide a very satisfactory outcome.

Matthew laid a patio for me, some days he was on his own and some days a team. I was really pleased with how well he he kept to time arrangements and at the end of each day they cleared up and asked me to check that I was happy with the work done each day. Whenever an issue arose, he dealt with it. All our neighbours have told us how lovely our patio looks.

Removal of existing lawn, provision of membrane and gravel, patio for bin utility area, fencing screen, edging stone for borders. Done to agreed programme and price. Good liaison during the contract, keeping me advised. Photos sent during the works to demonstrate progress, although none provided at finish (pity). Tenant of the property was very pleased with the contractor's attitude and work ethic.

Malcolm and his team did an excellent job and I was very pleased with the end result. Great attention to detail and worked to high standards to get everything just right. They were reliable turning up to do the job every day and not disappearing off at times as so many traders do. I highly recommend them to others and will certainly use them again myself in the future.

Malcolm was given the work because he fully understood the task, given our brief, and was extremely competitive with his quote. Having traded for many years he clearly indicated his knowledge, providing numerous ideas and much passion for gardening and associated landscaping. Evidence of projects completed by his company were readily available on his website. The job was undertaken smoothly within two days and we were delighted with the result. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sunshine Gardens to local residents.

Malcolm is a perfectionist and it shone through in the work that he did for us. His knowledge and professionalism are second to none. He and his team were courteous, hard working, clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble. His advice on steps to take was spot on and he has transformed our garden. The work involved clearing old shrubs and trees, removing a large garden shed, laying a large patio, erecting some fences and planting new topiary etc. All work was done to schedule and cost estimates. We are delighted with the finished result and couldn’t have asked for more. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and shall certainly be using him again.
