10 An excellent team where nothing is too much trouble.
Posted 1 day ago
Job location: CB10Gareth and his colleague Simon have done an excellent job in my garden. Gareth has been coming to do my trees for 15 years. My daughter has SEN and he and his team are excellent with her. They always make sure that she can have access to the drive etc at all times. Before Gareth and his team start using any machinery they will always fore warn me. They have done yet another excellent job and before they leave they always leave the lawn and driveway in an excellent condition. Gareth and his team are always friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble for them.10 Great job

Leaf and Lawn came round and repaired several broken fence posts and panels. I was really impressed with the quality of their work — the finish was better than expected, and they left everything tidy before heading off. Definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: CB110 Excellent fencing services.

Gareth, Johnny and the crew did an excellent job fixing and replacing our partition fences and creating a brand new lean-to. Even to the unprofessional eye, the work is done to an excellent standard and we are very happy with the result. The team were friendly and polite whilst they worked and did everything with a minimum of disruption.Verified reviewerJob location: CB4Response from Leaf and Lawn

9.67 Replacement side gate
Posted 18 December 2025
Gareth fitted a new wooden side gate and did a good job - not straightforward as the gate had to fit into a brick wall with an arch at the top of the space where the gate needed to be fitted. The work was done on the agreed date and for the agreed amount. He answered all my questions, gave good advice on future care and maintenance of the new gate and tidied up after himself before he left. I like the fact that he said I could call him back for up to a year if anything needed adjusting.Verified reviewerJob location: SG8Response from Leaf and Lawn
