Job location: SO40I’m based overseas so relied on Martin to view the property without me there and go over what was needed. Work was undertaken when he said it would be and finished in good time. Quality of the work was good and turnaround time very quick. Very happy with the end result. 9.67 An excellent job well done.

We contacted Martin after a flyer was put through the door. Our house is situated right on the road with a narrow strip of garden in front. This had become very overgrown and difficult to maintain. We decided to have most of it stripped out and replaced with a chain fence and pea shingle. Martin was very prompt to respond with a quote and the work was carried out quickly and professionally by a friendly crew. All in all, we are very satisfied with the result.Verified reviewerJob location: SO2010 A very good job well done.

The work at my property was done in a very professional manner. Despite the awful weather a new lawn was laid and my hedges cut. The men were cheerful and polite and very tidy. I would certainly use this company again.Verified reviewerJob location: SO1910 Professional, friendly, punctual and respectful service

I contacted General Garden Services after seeing their advert in the local Southampton Echo newspaper. Upon contacting them, Martin called back very quickly. We arranged a meet time for him to give an estimate to do the house clearance of my late fathers home, in which he had lived in for over 40 years. Martin and his team were all very friendly and repectful in the way they conducted their work. The house was cleared in a very timely manner and left in a tidy condition. All of the items were removed and disposed of in accordance with waste regualtions I would highly recommed this businessVerified reviewerJob location: SO318.67 Great job taming our garden
