    Excellent gardener and handyman Portsmouth & Southsea

    Posted 05 December 2025

    Zymba did an excellent job trimming and shaping our trees with his long-handled electric saw. He cleaned up so well afterwards that there was hardly a leaf on the ground. He also shaved our wooden gate which was sticking badly because the wood swells when wet. Now it opens perfectly. He came to give us a quote the very same day we called, and he did the work the next morning, all for a very reasonable price. Whatever the job, he can get it done, and I really appreciate that he insists you inspect everything when he finishes so he knows you feel is has been done to perfection. Highly recommend!

    Employee Zymba and you'll not want anyone else for your garden needs!

    Posted 15 November 2025

    Zymba recently overhauled my elderley mothers large garden. No sooner had I posted the job he responded. I arranged a meeting and showed him the extent of what was needed. Her large garden was severly overgrown. We discussed the Job, he quoted and we accepted. His work is first class! Zymba and Dee constantly worked stripping away the Brier, cutting trees down and shaping the remaining, finally cutting the grass. I can highly recommend Zymba not only for his high standard, knowledge and value but for his kindness and understanding towards my elderly mother. Thank you Zymba, we'll be intouch

    Zymba has been doing my garden for a couple of years now and I had to leave another review to let everyone know how delighted I am with the service. He is always on time, does a brilliant job, leaves everywhere clean and tidy and goes above and beyond.

    Great Job, highly recommended.

    Posted 04 November 2025

    Zymba responded very quickly to my post, and also came round quickly to quote. The job was completed the following week, and everything was left neat and tidy. Zymba and his team are really hard-working nice people, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Thanks Zymba, I’ll definitely be using you again.
