    Very happy

    Posted 06 March

    Arron and his lovely team did an absolutely super job on our front garden. We are so pleased with all their hard work. They got on with the job, with quick progress. No mess at the end, very tidy work. Would thoroughly recommend them.

    Highly recommend The Secret Garden!

    Posted 15 February

    We’ve just used Arron and his team for the 3rd time at this property, but they’ve also done work for my parents, and for us at our previous property. We’ve primarily had patios, lawns, fencing and a pond installed, all of which have been done to an extremely high standard. Arron and his team work exceptionally hard, are precise, clean and tidy, have lots of knowledge and experience to be able to provide useful advice and support, are competitively priced, and a pleasure to have around. We’d never look to use anyone else and we recommend them whenever anyone’s asking about landscape gardeners.

    Replacement Fence

    Posted 02 January

    Arron and his team recently removed a dilapidated joint ownership garden fence and replaced it with a like-for-like fence meeting today's standards - dealing respectfully with both parties involved. Secret Garden came highly recommended - Arron & his team and their work lived up to expectation. From initial phone call right through to job completion, Arron and his team were polite, professional, highly skilled and work was of a high standard. Their work ethic should also be commended; quiet, clean & tidy and of high craftmanship. We have no hesitation recommending Arron and The Secret Garden.

    We’ve used them before, we’d use them again!

    Posted 21 December 2025

    This is the second big job that we’ve used Arron & his team for &, as before, we couldn’t be happier. This time we had our patio extended & a large pond with rockery & waterfall installed. They were efficient, timely & really clear in managing our expectations (a bare pond in October won’t look pretty at first!) I’d really strongly recommend them as a company & we would definitely use them again if we had any other projects to complete.

    Would have no hesitation recommending this company

    Posted 11 December 2025

    The Secret Garden did a great job installing our new patio. Full explanation of the work required, clear written quote, realistic but competitive pricing, excellent communication and updates at all stages of the project. Arron and his team were extremely helpful throughout, showed courtesy and consideration to our neighbours and street, dealt with snagging items promptly and left the site clean and tidy. Would have no hesitation recommending this company.
