Sam has been working hard to help us realize our vision to redesign our garden. He is extremely hard working, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to all our friends – but only after he’s finished our garden!

Sam has repaired our fencing (damaged during the recent storms). The work was carried out in a professional manner and of outstanding quality. Nothing was of too much trouble for him and he checked regularly with us as he was carrying out the work. Overall we could not have received any better service and given the standard of work the charge was extremely reasonable.

Sam recently undertook a project in our garden to extend our patio and makeover a disused side garden. We are very impressed with his work, from the initial meeting to discuss options, his flexibility in amending the plans when our ideas changed to working conscientiously to get the job done to the highest standard. The result is additional, useable, neat and tidy space in our garden. We wouldn’t hesitate to use SM Landscaping and Fencing again and sincerely recommend Sam.

My father has always been very particular about maintaining habitats for wildlife by allowing patches of his large garden to grow wild. However, due his advanced age, he was no longer able to do any work on it himself. He was reluctant to bring in a gardener, worried that the garden would be tamed and he’d lose the wildlife habitat, so it became completely overgrown, almost impenetrable in places. Enter Sam… he was completely sensitive to my father’s concerns, listening and chatting with him, making practical suggestions and reassuring him that he would maintain a garden under control which would… [read more]
still harbour wildlife. It was and still is a big job since the garden had become so badly neglected, but with a few visits over a few months, Sam has and continued to bring it under control, all with the hard to attain approval of my father 🙂 No mean feat Sam! Sam is extremely hard working, sending me photos and videos of the work he achieves at each visit. He is a very good listener, practical, creative and obviously very experienced. I couldn’t recommend Sam more highly! -

Sam and his colleague come regularly – once a month for four hours. They are very knowledgeable and keep the garden really nice. They get rid of weeds, if there is a problem with the lawn the sort it out. Recently he came and did a much bigger job – replacing some fencing. He did really tidy work and the fence is super strong. He does a really good job with excellent customer service – he takes photos of what he’s done and sends them through to you as a record.

Sam has worked in our garden over the past year or so and I would highly recommend him. He is a skilled gardener and is also able to landscape. As well as cutting grass, hedge trimming, planting and weeding he has created paths, built a compost area and landscaped a wall. He is also great at communication and totally trustworthy.I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Sam’s very good! He did a cracking job putting up a fence for my mother in law. He worked really hard – really cracked on with it, on a fair slope.
