Dependable, Knowledgeable, Hardworking, and Honest
Posted 26 March
Ben has been our (and my parent's) gardener for nearly 2 years. He is always hardworking, knowledgeable, helpful, and trustworthy. He is always on hand to give advice (giving logical ideas and plans but never upsells) and is fairly priced. He also rewards loyalty by giving priority to his regular customers, showing he genuinely cares for his customers. We would not hesitate to recommend him and have regularly recommended him to anyone who's asks.

Very helpful in garden maintenance
Posted 06 February
Ben works in my garden twice a month during the spring and summer months. It takes a little while for him to get to know your garden and how you like things done. He is very helpful, enthusiastic and listens. He's good at hedges, lawns and cutting back and general tidying and is a very willing and pleasant guy.

Regular garden maintenance including lawn scarifying and seeding
Posted 19 July 2025
Things started well with Ben scarifying and reseeding our back lawn in late March, although he seems to have less gardening knowledge than we expected. He failed to turn up 2 days ago having confirmed his arrival time that morning. Later that day he sent a WhatsApp saying he had decided to move his work closer to home and would not be working in our area any more - ie he dumped us with no notice. A meeting or even a phone call in advance to explain would have been appropriate. His lack of courtesy and professionalism is totally unacceptable. We would definitely NOT recommend Green Acres.
