FindalocalgardenerAnmeldelser 

The Gardener worked hard in the heat and did a very good job of mowing our lawns, trimming our hedges and general tidying. He listened to our gardening requests and followed them through. He communicated well with us and was respectful.
We will definitely be asking for gardening work to be done again.

I had a great experience from start to finish. The team who arranged everything were friendly, efficient, and kept me updated throughout with excellent communication.

The gardeners did a fantastic job cutting the grass and trimming the hedge. They worked quickly, left everything looking neat and tidy, and completely transformed the garden.

I’m really pleased with the service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, professional garden maintenance. Thank you!

Working along side Find a local gardener has been a great experience for me. I have been working with them for 5+ years now. Getting jobs through each week to keep my diary full, the office staff are very efficient and are always there to support me when needed.
Good rates of pay and always paid on time. I look forward to continuing working along side them.

The gardener did a great job and my garden is now summer ready thank you highly recommended

Great communication from start to finish. Gardeners did a great job and the whole process was simple and straightforward

I’m in my second season working with Find a Local Gardener. It’s an ideal side hustle that fits perfectly as a part-time job.
Communication with Colin and the team is excellent, and payments are always on time. I love the freedom to choose how much work I take on, and most customers are regulars, so you quickly get to know the gardens and people—making the work easier and more fulfilling.
No negatives. Highly recommended!

Brilliant service. Went above and beyond to get the job done. Cannot fault the work done. Would recommend to anyone who needs work done in their garden.

I couldn’t recommend this team enough. I have been using them of over a year and have been absolutely delighted with the standard of work they have delivered. They are quick to respond to queries and incredibly reliable in every aspect!

I have used find a local gardener several times, Tyrone is very pleasant, trustworthy and always does an amazing job, finishes to a high standard. leaves the garden looking like new would definitely recommend

I have recently used this company and am very happy with the service. Very professional and I will use again and recommend to friends and family

They did 2 jobs for me which I paid on the same day. The 3rd job was booked and they never showed up. then messaged me to say would come following week. They never did. 3 times they have been contacting me to say I owe for the 2 jobs done. 3 times over 3 months I have shown them the receipts through Paypal which was confirmed by Colin as paid back in April. Yesterday they called me again asking for payment. Do not use!!

Never showed up for a job that we had agreed on three weeks prior. We were supposed to have a regular bi-weekly visit and they replied really quickly at first.
When the date came around, I had messaged beforehand and then waited all day for them to show up. When no one was here half an hour after the appointment, I tried calling and no one ever picked up.
It's been a week and I still never got a reply from anyone. Avoid at all cost. Absolute waste of time.

If this is the Robert I've just had, don't use him. I will never use him again. Expensive and when he'd gone I found he hadn't done most of what I specifically asked him to do. Leaving me, 86 years old partially sighted and with mobility problems, to put heavy pots and tubs back where they beonged. He did what he wanted rather than what I had specifically asked him to do.

Never did any of the work just invoiced do not use

The phrase "I will confirm shortly" must be the company strapline" because each time you whatsapp Colin and ask a question that is the reply. I had to consistently chase up when the gardener was coming, times, who was coming. This was my 2nd time using this company and it was the most stressful, disappointing experience. I had 2 gardeners come to the house for hedge trimming, weeding. I didn't expect to have 2 gardeners a week apart but the first guy did half a job, wasn't great. Left the waste and broken shovel in the garden. The hedges looked like they had been hacked with a pair of scissors. He told me he didn't have the correct tools on him. He was here 3ish hours. First thing he asked me was "is there a shop nearby" and his life story. Weeded only half the garden and when he left didn't even tell me. Contacted Colin and explained and it then took 3 days of chasing via whatsapp/text messages as calls were not being answered of a second gardener to finish the job, take the waste after he had to tip it all out the bag and sift through it. Sorted out the hedges again. He was here for less time and did a better job with the correct tools and knew what he was doing. The gardener is called Justin and a life saver. Happy with the final job. If you get Robert the gardener ... Good Luck. You'll need the job doing twice!!
Still waiting to hear from Colin but be assured I will not be paying for the first gardener or waste. Neither will I be using this company again. It has been highly disappointing and the amount of chasing I've had to do whilst doing my day job is not worth it.
The gardeners let this company down. Communication between customer and Colin needs to improve. Maybe recruit an Admin person.

I don’t really like to give reviews as I always try to keep the same workers; however, I find this company so strange and unprofessional.

1) It seems the only way you can communicate is via text message(which is a Checkatrade number) my error I know! I have messages from May 2025 (wanting a monthly package) and when trying to call the response text number for quotes (number doesn’t ring, I assume this an internet text number only).
2) You can NOT have a fixed date/time for work! Helen (if she still works at the company/or the male who Ive been told is Colin) respond via text ……as holding message only but this is weeks later.
3) I think this could be a company that sub-contract to others?? Even watching my obvious CCTV (its very clear to the gardener) the job is OK at best but i have HUGE gaps in hedges where my 7lb dog can escape. But this is only WHEN he part finishes (he hasn't finished the jobs twice). Maybe I am ignorant for offering refreshments however if I have booked a slot that is 2 hours MORE than your last slot I expect the work to be finished, even if expecting offering to pay ADITIONAL for the work to be finished. As an example today I booked 4 hours for hedge trimming, he didn’t finish and I watched a video and he only worked 3 hours (1+ late PLUS remove his breaks).
I can’t state that the work is poor, just not to my expectation and i will post on google so i can add pictures for gardeners to add comments; but execution and correct pricing is very poor. I try to keep relationships with the same individuals but have now come to the realisation that a bigger company is better for ME for quantity and price.
28.08.2025 the owner(?) has been in contact to try to resolve finishing my hedge after a Whatsapp call. i will update this accordingly.

Communication with (assuming) the local manager Colin was great, the gardeners not so much. They did a good job for garden clearance but communication could be better and the final touches to the garden could have been done.

Found Chris Holland through searching Google for a local gardener as I'd been let down so much.Needed planting hedges for the front of my home.He came along to see what needed doing.Gave me the best quote and completed the job i'd been waiting to have done a few days later.
Over 50 years experience so rest assured you'll be happy too.

Find a local Gardener is a great company. Andy, the gardener they sent me does a fantastic job and I like the fact that you can buy a package of hours to cover 3 or 6 months so I can budget and plan for the service. Lauren and Colin have been great with helping to answer questions and scheduling the gardener.

Very good service prompt response very reasonable rates and the gardeners are very professional they do their work very neatly and the again the service if very good they're the best!
