    Garden Redesign

    Posted 15 May

    Manuel was the only person to contact, providing a great quote & visualisation within hours, which I accepted. I found him & his team to be very likeable. They removed old slabs & lawn, prepared the ground, laid grey porcelain tiles over a larger area, & laid new lawn. They also reused some old slabs to make a compost area look much better. Despite poor weather, they completed the work in 9 days, tidying up, clearing debris, & sweeping the driveway. I’m really delighted with the excellent job they did & have received positive comments from others. I highly recommend Manuel & his team.

    Avoid this tradesperson

    Posted 25 January

    Emanuel misrepresented his experience and team and demanded more money after admitting he undercalculated. The workmanship was poor throughout (fencing, wall, and turf), despite repeated assurances it was correct. After taking over 80% of the payment, within a few days of when he was supposed to be completing the work, he abandoned the job and said it was due to ill health and could no longer continue and refused to refund us any money. Since then Other builders have confirmed the work as being terrible in their own words, substandard and will cost nearly £4,000 to fix. Avoid Avoid this person

    Response from Magic Garden Design & Landscaping Ltd

    We’re sorry you feel this way and strongly dispute this account. The project scope changed, affecting time and cost, which was discussed openly. All work was completed to the agreed specification, and no concerns about standards were raised during the project. Due to unexpected health issues, we were unable to continue at that time, which was clearly communicated—we did not abandon the job lightly. We remain committed to fairness and professionalism, stand by our work, and welcome direct discussion of any genuine concerns.
