    Excellent, reliable, hard working gardener

    Posted 09 April

    Sam has been looking after all Mums gardening requirements for a couple of years now. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of his work and are more than happy that he needs no direction from amateur relatives, as he knows exactly what needs to be done. Sam returns every year, taking the time to assess what needs doing and works extremely diligently to ensure everything is left tidy. With Mum being unwell it is an absolute pleasure to welcome Sam back each year and know that a fabulous job is guaranteed.

    Reliable and hard working

    Posted 19 March

    We've been using the services of Be Wise for several years now to cut, trim and manicure our hedges and trees. Sam and James will arrive promptly and on the date they promised. They always work tremendously hard and ensure all the resulting cuttings are collected, bagged up and taken away. All they ever require from us is a constant supply of coffee! We have absolutely no hesitation recommending them .

    Clearing overgrown garden

    Posted 08 July 2025

    Sam is brilliant. He listened to my requirements, suggested ways to carry these out and worked like a Trojan until he finished the work. He was punctual, polite and productive. I highly recommend him and will definitely employ him again.

    Clearing heavily overgrown front and back gardens.

    Posted 29 June 2025

    Sam was quick to respond to my enquiry and very clear on what work was needed and the cost. He worked for two days clearing/weeding/pruning my front beds and the back garden. These areas had been completely neglected for a couple of years due to illness. Sam has restored them to a clear usable space, I’m really happy with the results. He is very thorough and has done a great job! Highly recommend.f

Asian Themed Garden
Scottish River Pebbles plus Cotswold and Purbeck Stone were used to reduce maintenance of a traditional front garden of lawn and flower borders.
Re-shaped lawn, additional planting and Ornamental Forest Bark produce a bright and colourful fresh look to a previously overgrown border.
Overgrown pond with loosely placed, uneven stone edging with liner clearly visible.
Purbeck stonework now levelled and cemented into place together with a new functional waterfall. A membrane with washed river pebbles and new planting make this pond neat and much easier to maintain +108
