This gardening company has a big issue with communication. They came to cut the grass on many occasions when we specifically asked them not to and then invoiced us for them. Despite agreeing to waive the fee, they then kept chasing us for payment. I have a severe allergy to grass so we included a clause in the contract providing that they should give us 24 hours notice before coming. They failed to follow this provision also. We asked them to liaise with my husband. Instead since the beginning they call me and all invoices have been in my name. We had to ask them repeatedly to change this. Given the price and the terrible level of service, I would not recommend this gardening company.

Dear Anuk, I am sorry we have fell short in providing you with the high service you were expecting. I admit we messed up on this occasion and have expressed our apologies on several occasions to you for calling without informing you, despite you requesting a call every 4 weeks, I understand you needed reminding of when we were due, which we did not do on two occasions. When you approached us again after the initial cancellation to take up our services again, there was a miscommunication between myself and the foreman. Eager to get a firm date for the first call back after our first error which I gave to you before we had officially agreed to start, the foreman had mistook my question as an instruction, and hence we are unfortunately where we are today. I apologised and credited all calls made where we didn’t notify you, but where you state we were chasing money that was not due is not true, and we have since agreed this and received payment for which I thank you. Due to a large intake of clients last year, we are now looking at employing another member of staff to increase efficiency within the admin team to ensure we provide the service our clients would expect from a professional company. Thank you for your comments and I wish you luck with the garden in the future.
Good advice and excellent work.

Josef was very professional, polite, and hardworking. Offered good advice when asked and was very knowledgeable. He really cared about the trees in my garden, and was very careful not to carry out any unnecessary pruning and to look after the garden.

Carried out work - pruning shrubs, removing a shrub, tidying flower beds quickly and efficiently. Cleaned all debris and mess and left garden tidy.

After an initial estimate, the operator (who was without his assistant due to illness) was punctual, knowledgeable and stayed on the job without a break until it was finished 6 hours later! He went the 'second mile' in clearing up after so much tree cutting & the garden looked perfect when he finished. Having had this gentleman & his company for a number of years, I have no hesitation in recommending them. (In fact, I have already recommended them to my neighbours).

Each time the firm has reduced & shaped my garden trees (approx. 3-4 yearly), they have done an excellent job & been very pleasant to deal with.

We needed repairs to a balcony and struggled to find someone to do them. The English Garden Company put together an excellent team who were a pleasure to work with. The work is of a high quality and looks very good.
