Martin and his team were great, very prompt and cleared up the garden so it’s now a blank canvas for us. Would definitely recommend Martin and his teamVerified reviewerJob location: SO538.67 Laurel Hedge Trim
Posted 11 July
We have a large Laurel Hedge that required trimming. Martin’s team worked very efficiently and tidied up after the job. I was very pleased with quality if the work and the price was competitive.Verified reviewerJob location: SO1610 Garden levelling, turf, fencing and waste removal

We’ve used General Garden Services twice now as we overhaul our garden. On both occasions I’ve found Martin and his team to be quick to quote, they turn up when they say they will, and most importantly do high quality work. We were delighted with the work done, and they are now our go to firm for this kind of work.Verified reviewerJob location: SO2210 Cutting down and removal of conifer.

Martin left me down twice when initially arranging to quote. He then finally did the quote and confirmed he would be with us today. I messaged him at 8 to make sure he was coming it was then and only then he told me he had an issue with his transport. He called an hour later to say it was going to be a couple of hours. I then had to call him a couple of hours later only to be told that it would probably be another hour and a half but couldn’t say for definate. He did not keep me updated and I’ve had to chase several times. Really unimpressed.Verified reviewerJob location: SO50 9 Garden maintainence
