Some years ago Dan built a number of decks for us. We were so pleased we recommended him to neighbours. Recently our very large deck (about 30 years old) finally needed replacement and without hesitation we contacted Dan - he and his team did an excellent job and as other people have commented always left the site clean, tidy and safe. His workmanship was of a high quality and he always had the answer to any problem that arose.I highly recommend him.

Excellent Service

Dan and his assistant Shay have done some lawn treatments and cut our grass due to my husband undergoing knee surgery. Always very polite and knowledgeable. Previously used Greenthumbs for years but not satisfied with their customer service and extortionate prices. Will now be using Smart Gardens, a great family run business with excellent customer service and reasonable prices. Thanks Dan, Lucy and Shay

Created smart new front garden area

We are very pleased with the work Dan has done on our front garden area. He took our vague ideas and made a very smart and practical area, even down to fine details about improving the look and function of a drain cover. Clear communication, contracts, and payment schedule. Generally very reliable and helpful and overall we felt we were in safe hands, and had chosen the right person for the job.

Work carried out cheerfully and efficiently

Many thanks to Dan and his young assistant for trimming back our native hedge, supplying and fixing some trellis, and replacing our tatty old lawn with ornamental gravel over a permeable membrane. All the work was carried out cheerfully and efficiently, and both Dan and his assistant (Shay? Che? Apologies for perhaps not catching his name properly) were approachable and friendly throughout. We will certainly be using Smart Gardens in future, for a hedge trim at the very least!

An excellent firm!

I have given Smart Gardens 5 stars and I would give them 10 if I could!
They have done two jobs for us, both exactly what we wanted with no fuss or bother and always to time.
We are planning to use them again - good to find a gardener who knows his job!

Garden Maintenance …

My initial meeting with Dan when we discussed what needed doing in the garden was very positive and gave me confidence. He is so knowledgeable and I am happy that he will carry out what is necessary and when. Being a widow it is very comforting to know you have someone you can trust.

Smart Gardens do exactly what it says

Smart Gardens do exactly what it says - they produce the smartest gardens!
We have used them over many years - originally to lay attractive paths and paving and more recently to completely renovate our lawns. Dan does an excellent job on site - and well supported by an excellent and efficient back office - Lucy. Well done and thank you.

Excellence from the start!

Our experience with Smart Gardens has been excellent from the outset. They made multiple visits to support us in scoping the work, and were very flexible in scheduling around our availability and requirements.

Although we have only progressed with one (large) part of the work, it was completed on schedule, looks great, and has already transformed our use of the garden.

We will definitely be in touch when ready to progress with future stages!

Very reliable!

I know that if I need anything done in the garden I can just ask and it’s done. I have regular lawn mowing done and if I need anything extra they’re there and it’s done well

Turning gravel to grass

We wanted a large gravelled area of our back garden turned to grass. Dan quoted a price and date. All the soil, turf and digger turned up ready the day before. A skip arrived early on work day and was filled and off the drive 5 hours later. All work completed with lawn care instructions the same day. A thoroughly professional job 😁

Pond removal and variety of planting

We needed an ornamental pond removed and surrounding paving repointed together with four small beds filled with a variety of plants. On a recommendation we contacted Smart Gardens. Dan completed all the work quickly, cleanly, and to budget. His wide knowledge ensured we have an interesting selection of plants to enjoy as they mature.

I’m still smiling and love my front garden again!
Dan has done such a wonderful job and the difference is just amazing.
Dan is polite, punctual, professional and very knowledgeable, creating the transformation in 3 days! His aftercare advice is extremely helpful and even offers ongoing support if needed.
I would absolutely recommend Dan and Lucy at Smart Gardens.
