Very prompt response to initial enquiry. Elliot came out and quoted for 2 different jobs. Both jobs completed very quickly and to high standard. Garden left very tidy after both jobsVerified reviewerJob location: SO19 10 M&G Gardening Maintenance for tree trimming
Posted 28 January
We've used M&G Gardening Maintenance for a number of years. They are always on time, super polite and very tidy after they finish. We had our tree trimmed as a yearly maintenance for our garden. Tree looks so much better. Top work, very happy customers here! Thanks!Verified reviewerJob location: SO1510 Winter Tidy Up
Posted 01 December 2025
Elliot and Michael tidied our large garden which included clearing a huge amount of leaves on our flat roof and in all the beds and driveway. They completed the work in record time - a final total of 11 bags. The garden was transferred from a sea of brown. They also cut back all shrubs that needed it. I couldn’t do without them and am so grateful for all their help and advice.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5010 Very professional. Excellent, hard working team.

Excellent service from first contact until end of job with M&G gardening maintenance. They kindly did an initial assessment and were clear and prompt with their quote. They arrive promptly at agreed time. They worked hard and efficiently tidying up my garden. They removed 4 huge bags of old leaves and twigs and also tidied up two of my loveoy trees. They then went around to my neighbors to make sure nothing of my garden mess was left in their gardens.Verified reviewerJob location: SO18- SShane L
10 Hedge Trimming
Posted 31 October 2025
I'm very happy with the results. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the garden and pavement spotless. They also took the time to explain how to best care for the hedge moving forward, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend M&G to anyone in need of reliable and professional gardeners, and we will definitely be using them again in futureVerified reviewerJob location: SO16 - AAndrew L
2 Avoid!
Posted 25 October 2025
One of the worst trades experiences I ever had. They left excessively muddy footprints across the carpet of the communal hallway, with apparently zero effort to wipe their feet. Then blamed me for not thinking to put a mat down. You would think experienced gardeners would be aware that working in a garden on a wet day would bring mud inside. I had asked them to also deweed my patio area, but this was only treated with weed spray. When I attempted to discuss this I ended up having to block him.Verified reviewerJob location: SO16Response from M & G Gardening Maintenance
As per usual we arrived on time and completed the work to which the customer was happy and we did the customers personal garden for free,we were told to only use the side entrance .we do not provide sheeting and it is the customers responsibility.
