Was very impressed with the   quality of the work. They were very reliable and trustworthy. Choosing the right person to do the work can be quite daunting but I would have no hesitation in recommending them. They made quite a big job stress free and cleaned up immaculately afterwards. Thank you!!


Extremely Pleased

Would recommend Garden First to anyone who wants a first class professional garden landscape. Also had wall repointing and two new fences within past few months. Extremly pleased. Thank you Steve and your team.


Got Exactly What We Wanted

Great quality, no problems at all. Completely hassle-free and they had great ideas about what we could do. They even helped us out by doing a bit extra for us after we accidentally undermined an existing bit of our garden. And, as my wife never got bored of telling me, they were extremely tidy and cleaned up after themselves beautifully. No hesitation in recommending to others.



Excellent Job

We are extremely pleased with our new garden. Steve and his team produced high quality work, kept within their estimated timescales, were very friendly, kept us informed of progress and did a great job of making our ideas a reality. We would highly recommend them. Alice  



Our Garden Is Exactly As We Wanted It.


It was great to have such a professional team working on it. They arrived on time, keeping us informed of what they were doing, when and why. They left everything clean and tidy and they were all so easy to get on with.

As they had to bring everything through the house, this made our lives so much less traumatic than it could have been, and the standard of work was like the rest of the experience, excellent. Thank You - Barbara and Mike.



First Rate


We had considered re-doing our patio and paths for some while. The plain grey concrete flags we had laid twenty years ago did nothing enhance the house, and had become uneven. After looking at samples at local builders' merchants and reading catalogues we homed in on natural sandstone.

Web browsing and the Marshalls Register threw up a short list of companies, including Garden First. Dave came to measure and drew up a design plan. We had an immediate rapport as it turned out Dorothy had taught his son many years before. We inspected another company's patio, which almost derailed our plans, as it did not correspond at all with our expectation. Fortunately Dave arranged for us to inspect a recent sample of their work, which was excellent.

His design featured natural Indian stone, with tegula edges, curved at the rear of the house round the conservatory.

The team of Steve, Luke (another ex-pupil), and Sean showed great attention to detail and cleaned up at the end of each day. We are delighted with the end result which we feel has improved the look and the utility of the house considerably. Every one of our friends has commended the look. Excellent work!

First Rate Service

We feel so very lucky to have found such a professional company to come and re-design our garden. From the outset we found the team at Garden First to be professional and dedicated. The workmanship is first class and the team worked so hard from early morning until late afternoon. We are overjoyed with the end result - it's exactly what we wanted, and the advice and ideas we were given along the way were brilliant! We can't praise these guys enough! It's always a worry selecting a company to come and take on such an important task, you hear stories of 'cowboys' so often - but these guys couldn't have been more professional! We can strongly recommend Garden First. First rate service, quality workmanship and friendly, trustworthy people who obviously take grea t pride in their work!

Garden first are first class

I first heard about this company through a friend, and from the first meeting i felt comfortable and confident in Steven, he had fantastic ideas and really listened to mine! The final plan for the garden arrived in the post a couple of days later, (this incidentally was a free service) i was thrilled, a week and two days later the garden was finished, he had taken a boring, bog standard back garden and created a space with character and class, the two specially designed decked areas look amazing with all the lights and we can relax wherever the sun is, my little girl will appreciate the beautiful lawn, and loves the water feature. The garden first team were friendly and always professional, and i must say tidy, cleaning up each evening afterwards. Well done and thank you so much x



First Class Patio

We have just had a patio laid and rear garden turfed. The completed job looks fantastic. Steve and his team are true craftsmen and have an eye for detail. Very professional, hardworking, friendly and no sub contractors used. Free quotation and design drawing provided which was very helpful. Steve will manage the whole job from start to finish. A job well done...Thank you!



Look no further for quality & reliability

I cannot speak too highly about Garden - First. I found them thru Google. I was looking for a local, family firm with no sub-contractors. The job was viewed by Dave and a detailed plan / design (no charge) and estimate was provided. I was given the opportunity to inspect their previous work and was very impressed with the quality and the feedback. The team led by Steve were prompt, courteous and extremely hard-working. It was a pleasure to have them around. They didn't even take time off to watch the England v Slovenia game in the World Cup!!! :o) No harm getting them in for one of your estimates. I guarantee you won't fail to be impressed by their professionalism.



Excellent work by Garden First

We had wanted to build a drive for a while. This was something that we had no previous experience of, and like some other customers, we were wary of which contractor to hire. I had asked two contractors to quote, but neither of them proved at all suitable: there have been planning regulations with regard to installing drainage since 2008, yet neither of these first contractors mentioned these. A drive from one of these two would have contravened these regulations. I found Garden First online, and from the first time that I contacted them, they were superb. They sat through a meeting with council planning staff with me, and when permission came through, the team created a superb drive. They were flexible with scheduling of work, then worked really hard. The team were careful in the marking out and installation. Neighbours have commented on how smart the drive looks. Thanks very much!
