    Top work and high quality along with professionalism

    Posted 10 March

    Michael recently did work at my property. My wife and I were not too sure what we wanted in terms of the options and choices. Michael’s professionalism and politeness made us feel very at ease. No fast and loose wheerler dealer, just honest approach and experienced guidance. All the work carried out although only recently complete is amazing, we are so impressed with the quality and care given. Little adjustments and end of job snags were dealt with promptly with no issues or complaints Special shout out to his team James and Josh, completely courteous, polite and a credit to their work

    Fantastic Job

    Posted 08 March

    Michael Forrester’s family live very near us, so they were our first choice for getting a quote. We explained what we wanted and then listened to his advice on minor changes to the layout which work perfectly and optimise the space. The quote was sent promptly and suited our budget. After giving the go ahead his team started working exactly as promised. Despite the initial upheaval they all worked non-stop for 9 days and I have to say the end result is fabulous. Every afternoon when they finished for the day everything was left as tidy as possible. Very highly recommended.

    Michael and his team are totally professional, they completed our garden makeover in the worst possible conditions end of January into beginning of February, his lads were a credit to him and his company, they were punctual, courteous and professional.

    backfilled with soil and layed new turf

    Posted 10 December 2025

    Michael's lads did an excellent job. They were punctual and polite, completed the job in just a few hours and even cleaned up after themselves. Exactly what a good company should do.

    Great, Excellent work by M.Forrester

    Posted 07 November 2025

    Having used M.Forrester Landscapes on numerous occasions in the last 10+ years. The fence between my property and my neighbours needed some attention. Straight away I contacted M.Forrester Landscapes for a quote to do this work. My neighbour had also got a few quotes too for this work that was needed. The quote given by M.Forrester was excellent and far outweighed the other quotes we had. The work got carried out to the usual, excellent standard I have alway had recieved. Both, my neighbour and I are pleased with how the job went from start to finish.
