10 Back garden blitz.
Posted 05 July
Gareth assured me that me he would be able to clear my garden which had totally succumbed to brambles and other weeds. I thought it might need a flamethrower but no, Gareth conquered the jungle and has left me with a clear, fully accessible garden. I was given an estimate and time frame for the work, both of which were reached. Gareth has also given me some advice re maintaining the garden, for which I am grateful. I'm very happy to recommend Gareth and will look forward to using his expertise in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: CB109.67 Removal of hedge and repair of the wall behind
Posted 25 June
Job location: CB1Gareth came and removed my hedge leaving the area clean and tidy and in fact, ready for me to now replace the hedge and plant out new plants which I am very pleased about. He noted that the brick wall behind the hedge was damaged and he has strengthened it for me so it's a solid as a rock now. I look forward to his return next year to replace sleepers in the high garden beds I have in the back garden. His workmanship is thorough and efficient, and I appreciate the enthusiasm and expertise he applies to his job.10 Dismantling and removal of old fence. Installation of new fence panels and posts.

Job location: CB23This is the 3rd time we used Leaf & Lawn's services. Our old broken fence (victim of the storms in December 2024) was removed and strong new panels & posts were put back in. Gareth and his team were punctual, professional and diligent. The work was completed on time without fuss of disruption. Communication was superb throughout from booking to finish. Great advice from the team too. They are our first choice for all things garden/fence/shed related.10 Repair broken fencing

Job location: SG8Gareth and team assessed the situation and the gardens being at different levels and the existing fence in a slightly wavy line. They came up with a clever and affordable solution, including using gravel boards at the bottom on the lower level, and additional posts. As soon as this was agreed, they got on with the job and completed it efficiently and quickly, leaving a neat fence which is straighter than the old one and the whole site tidy. The team were competent, effective and professional throughout and a pleasure to deal with.10 New fencing installed all round the garden

I founded Leaf and Lawn in 2007 to support my growing family and accordingly have invested time in growing the business the RIGHT way so it stands the test of time. We have now won several awards such as eastern regions business of the year at the House of Lords and have been steadily growing.
I am very selective of my employees. I choose only the best and they give the best. They are honest, polite, hardworking and precise. The customer is always asked at the end of the job, "Are you happy?" and invited to go round everything to make sure nothing is missed.
Services we concentrate on are;
- Tree Work, Hedging and Fencing
- Complete grounds clearance
- Landscaping
- Log Cabins
But most importantly, whatever we do, we always aim to do it right and make you happy!
