10 Pruning some trees/shrubs
Posted 1 week ago
We've used Ted before to prune some trees and shrubs in our back garden. Again, he did an excellent job. Couldn't fault him. Work to a high standard including a thorough tidying up exercise afterwards. Would thoroughly recommend Ted. Many thanks Ted.Verified reviewerJob location: DA169.67 Garden clearance and maintenance.

Ted had been looking after our garden for a year now. We initially booked him for a one-off job to trim the hedge and give the garden a bit of a tidy up. We now have him come round every two weeks to maintain. He's knowledgeable and has given us advice and recommendations as to plants that will suit the soil and the amount of sun we get in the garden, and is currently working to restore what we thought was a bush back intk a tree! 😄 He's reliable and hard working. Would recommend his services.Verified reviewerJob location: BR710 Big tidy up front and back gardens

My gardens were a mess and I was overwhelmed by them. Ted spent a day here and everything is now under control. Ted just came in and got on with the job. He works very hard and is helpful and friendly. All the waste was cleared up and taken away. I would definately recommend The Hardy Gardener.Verified reviewerJob location: BR310 Garden re-set

Our garden had become very overgrown and we did not know where to start. Ted worked solidly for two and half hours and cleared the whole garden for us plus he took all of the debris away. He honestly did not stop. He arrived on time and his timeframe was spot on plus our garden looks amazing. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: BR710 Reliable keen Gardener

Ted has been maintaining our garden for us for many years now. Couldn't have asked for a better person to do it. He is very thorough, reliable and trustworthy. His knowledge on plants is immense. When he started initially, he selected plants for the border which have come up beautifully now and look great.Verified reviewerJob location: BR2
