Great Service
Great Service
I have been using Handy Gardeners for the last few years and have been happy with the service provided. They arrive on time and complete the tasks booked for within time and leave everything tidy when finished. They are polite, hardworking and take the garden waste away with them. The office staff are polite, listen to what I require and reply to emails promptly. I highly recommend them.

Rude and intentional wording for being scammed later on
Bad right off the bat, their quoting makes no sense at all, lacks detail and has some very dodgy wording that is intentionally designed to catch you out later down the line. It was a generic quotation that didn’t pertain at all to what I had enquired about having done. Sent a response back anyway asking I’m desperate to get this work done, asking for clarification on several details such as time included in their fixed quotation and received a very rude email back saying it is all given in the email (it’s not) and not to waste their time, so I won’t be.
This type of behaviour isn’t acceptable, you will be scammed by these people so don’t even bother tempting fate and making a query with them.

Handy Gardeners.
We are very pleased about the two gardeners who came to do our Garden on Saturday. They arrived promptly at 9.00am. Antonio, who was the head gardener was polite and very confident in his job. They did a good job of pruning our apple tree and the grape vine. They also tidied up other plants that needed attention. Antonio advised us on things we need to know about our garden.
We are so pleased, we got them.at the end of the two hours, they tidied up the garden, swept the path, and took away all the trimmings left the garden lovely.
We highly recommend, Handy Gardeners and will hire them again when needed.they were fantastic.

Dear Maithrie Johnston,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear you were pleased with the two gardeners who visited on Saturday, and that they arrived promptly at the appointed time and left the garden looking in tiptop shape, as expected!
It’s great to know Antonio’s confidence, politeness and advice made a real difference, and that the pruning of your apple tree and grape vine, along with the extra tidying of plants needing attention, was done to a high standard. We’re also really pleased the clean-up was exactly as it should be, swept paths, all trimmings removed, and everything left neat and cared for.
Thank you for the recommendation, and we’ll be very happy to help again whenever you need us.

Very reliable and professional service
I've used Handy Gardeners several times over the past 3 years (around 15). Every time the gardeners do a really good job of tidying up our large garden and manage to do so in 2 hours. They are always very professional, turn up on time/early or communicate it on the odd occasion they get stuck in traffic, then they get whatever specific garden based job I've requested of them very effectively and quickly. The office staff are always quick to reply to emails and helpful in organising an appropriate appointment time. I will continue to use Handy Gardeners and recommend to anyone who needs help keeping on top of their garden.

It’s also great to know the office team has been quick to respond and helpful with booking appointments, we’ll make sure your feedback is shared with everyone.
Thanks again for recommending us, and we look forward to continuing to help you keep on top of the garden.

A job well done
The grounds maintenance of our communal areas, mainly a private car park was completed in a few hours. The result was an area cleared of weeds and leaves, tidy and clean. One of the residents said it looked beautiful. I was very impressed with the work, done by someone doing it all on his own, showing dedication and a thorough application. We will definitely hire this company again.

Dear Mikel Ward,
Thank you for your review and for choosing us as your go-to gardeners. We’re glad you find the service great value, and we take your point about the quality varying between visits.
To keep things consistently high, we can note your preferences on the job (lawn height, edging, beds, shrubs, waste) and prioritise your usual team where possible. Do not hesitate to give us a ring, if you need garden services again! All the best until then!

Thank you for being with us these past couple of years! We’re delighted you’ve had the same great service every time and that the team are punctual and accommodating. If you’d like, we can keep assigning the same crew and set up a seasonal plan to keep everything looking its best year-round.

Absolutely amazing experience. Will book again.
The experience I had with handy gardeners was very good. From initial communication to the booking and attendance of the gardeners was fantastic. The garden was done superbly and the gardeners came equipped with all of their tools for the job. The only slight fault I had to pick out was that I probably would’ve preferred if they let me know the moment the excess grass limit was exceeded. But will definitely book again.

Dear Jordan,
Thank you for the brilliant feedback and for booking with us! We’re delighted the experience—from first contact through to the gardeners’ visit—was fantastic, and that the team arrived fully equipped and left the garden looking superb.
Thank you also for the helpful note about the excess grass limit. You’re right: we should flag that the moment it’s reached. We’ve shared this with the team and will make sure we notify you immediately next time so there are no surprises. If you’d like, we can add a note to your file to give you a quick heads-up during mowing when we’re approaching the limit.
We really appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back—just let us know your preferred date and we’ll get you booked in.

Ronseal moment..
I couldn’t be happier with the work carried out by [Company Name]. From the first visit, they were professional, friendly, and really listened to what I wanted. The team turned my garden into exactly what I’d imagined — tidy, well-designed, and full of life again!
They arrived on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless once the job was done. What really stood out was their attention to detail and genuine pride in their work — it’s rare to find that level of care these days.
I’ve already had compliments from friends and neighbours, and I’ll definitely be recommending Handy Gardeners to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and passionate gardeners.
Thank you so much for transforming my outdoor space — I absolutely love it!

Excellent service
I have been using the handy gardeners for years now and have always been delighted with the service they provide. I always ask for the same team - they work incredibly hard are very polite and nothing is too much trouble. My garden always looks fabulous when they have been and i would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great experience
Maintenance is key - this is what Handy Gardeners do best. It’s been approximately 3 years since they have been maintaining our mum’s garden, and it looks superb. We like to use the same team, however, sometimes the team are unavailable and another team may be offered to step in. We are more than happy to keep their service. 😀🏡

Dear Vinted supplier,
Thank you for the wonderful review — and for trusting us with your mum’s garden for around three years. We’re delighted the regular maintenance is keeping it looking superb.
We’ll always do our best to send your preferred team; when they’re unavailable, we make sure any cover crew are fully briefed so you get the same standard and continuity. If you’d like, we can add a note to your account to prioritise the same team and a recurring slot.
We really appreciate you staying with us and look forward to keeping the garden at its best!
