A Beautiful New Garden

Smart Gardens have just finished creating our new rear garden and front walkway, and we are really pleased with the results. We have a new build and the garden was just laid to lawn with some fairly basic patio slabs. The lawn sloped up to the rear and we wanted it flat. Dan helped us translate our rough ideas into a great plan with new paving, retaining walls, stone chippings and feature flower bed. Dan chose the right plants for us based on our preferred style. All we had to do was sit back and watch. What a transformation and finished to a very high standard. Thank you Dan and Lucy and the team for all your hard work.

Smart Gardens

We arranged for Dan from Smart Gardens to come and renew our front verandah with composite decking. He filled me with confidence, assuring me every step of the way of what he intended to do and the plan going forward with the project. I am very pleased with the final outcome. Exactly what we wanted. Dan did a really great job and is such a friendly man. The communication was on point throughout. Lucy is very knowledgeable and has a kind and helpful manner.

Thank you so much Smart Gardens

Excellent.

I was thoroughly pleased with the work that Lucy and Dan recently carried out for me.
The project from start to finish went smoothly.
My patio is exactly what I asked for.
Dan was on site throughout the whole project.
I can highly recommend them to oversee any garden work needed.

Professional, Reliable and Friendly Garden Company

We had two items of work completed by Smart Gardens. In both cases we were able to discuss our requirements and subsequent changes very easily with either Danny or Lucy to our satisfaction. Both works were completed on time and to a very high standard. We would definitely recommend Smart Gardens based on our experience.

Excellent service, start to finish

Dan came to give us a quote for landscaping our garden and gave us great ideas whilst doing so. We went with his design as it was the best we'd had and he was happy to come back to tweak the design and the quote a few times without any problem. Communication was great. When the work started, the team were friendly to us and our young boys, they worked hard, and did an absolutely fantastic job. We couldn't be happier with our garden now and highly recommend Smart Gardens to anyone.

Professional and reliable workmen

Dan and Jack both worked in my front and back gardens. I needed trees and hedges pruned, an area of lawn refilled and returfed and a lot of ivy cut back. They offered excellent solutions to my vague suggestions. I was very pleased with the end results.

Driveway and front garden .

Dan , Jack and Lucy did a fantastic job on my front garden / driveway. I’ve had several comments from neighbours all saying how lovely it looks . Lucy in the office was so friendly and Dan and Jack were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the plants and how I should look after them . It was completed on time and looks wonderful so thank you all . I will be using them again for the back garden .

Amazing Garden Makeover

We had been putting off having our garden landscaped for a few years due to the hassle of having no side access. After a few quotes of varying prices and timings (some which felt unrealistic), I had the pleasure of meeting Dan who made us feel reassured and agreed to take on our huge project which included levelling the garden, bespoke fencing, decking and ground work & footings for an outdoor office (all materials of which had to be done via our neighbours garden!) The team were incredible from start to finish, professional, polite and extremely tidy! Nothing was too much trouble and they did the most incredible job, totally transforming our garden and completely exceeding our expectations. We couldn’t have been happier and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have work done.
