    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’re unhappy and strongly disagree with this account. The project scope changed, affecting time and cost, and this was discussed openly. All work was completed to the agreed specification, with no concerns raised during the project. Due to unexpected health issues, we were unable to continue at that time, which was communicated honestly. We did not abandon the job lightly. We stand by the quality of our work and welcome genuine discussions.

    new decking

    Posted 27 October 2025

    Really delighted with the work carried out, Manuel was prompt and very knowledgeable. He identified the cause of the problems we had, made some suggestions for additional drainage to protect the new wood which we were really pleased about and he completed everything exactly as we wanted. Everything was tidied away at the end of each day and at the end of the job leaving us to enjoy our garden again.

    Magic front garden renovation.

    Posted 19 October 2025

    My front garden was something of a mess, with aging brickwork and weeds. Manuel and his team have transformed it, digging up the bricks, putting down top soil and laying a lovely lawn. All done efficiently. I'm really pleased, and Manuel and his team did an excellent job. I recommend Manuel, and Magic Garden Designs, without reservation.

    Front garden renovation

    Posted 11 October 2025

    Our small front garden was growing unruly - the dwarf conifers were getting too big and weds were penetrating the lawn and the cobble border. Manuel removed all of this, rotovated the soil, laid new turf and edging plus a border of white gravel on a membrane. At his suggestion we also added a sleeper at the side as the neighbouring garden is a little higher than ours. A small job but done efficiently over two days at a reasonable price. The air was left clean afterwards.
