10 Super efficient job done
Posted 2 days ago
The communication was great before the job and the team were polite and hard working with lots of great garden advice given. They cleaned up all of the mess really quickly and efficiently and took all of the waste away. I’m looking forward to seeing the results as the weather improves and spring arrives.Verified reviewerJob location: BN1- LLea L

10 Excellent Service
Posted 21 October 2025
Communication was excellent before and on the day, they checked in to make sure I was happy with the being work carried out and explained what they were going to do. On the day the rain was very heavy, which did not stop the work being carried out and the garden being tidied up from the clippings etc, would recommend Olive Gardening.Verified reviewerJob location: BN42 10 How good
