A much needed main-door flat front bit makeover to accommodate the imminent arrival of a puppy. Andy, Jamie and Eliot have done a fantastic job. They suggested the addition of a fence so we could keep pup area separate from some lovely sea breeze daisies wed otherwise have to get rid of as they arent safe for dogs to eat. So we now have two separate areas - a puppy safe space and a space with a built-in seat to enjoy in the summerWork came in a bit under budget, which was a lovely surprise in the run-up to Christmas, and was finished to schedule and everything tidied up. Were delighted

I dont usually write reviews but there are a lot of 5 stars here which dont reflect my experience with this company. Whilst I am generally satisfied with the patio and path laid there are aspects of their service which should be highlighted. I first spoke to Andy in Feb / Mar 2021 about the work, was given a quote which I accepted and was told the work would be done in early April. Early April came and went so I emailed him and was told it would take place now in May. This date also came and went and no word again from Andy emailed him again and was told it would now be early June. Contact

We used Gardening Services to create a paved front garden for us. Andy came round and discussed the various options with us and with our quote he also recommended some suppliers for the paving slabs and wall so we were able to view options.
Jamie & Andy arrived on time and each day cleaned and tidied the area before leaving. During the build we were consulted throughout and Jamie suggested creating a seat from the same paving slabs and wall bricks. This is not something we had thought of and the end result is brilliant - it adds character and gives us somewhere to sit. We have had a small bed

We had an old, damaged lawn removed, and the ground rotavated and compost added before complete returfing. The quality of workmanship was excellent and was closely supervised throughout. The planning was first rate with the various deliveries and uplifts all happening exactly when promised. The site was kept very tidy, and I was kept up to date at all times as the work progressed. It was a very professional and excellent job.

We are so pleased with our new patio and path. This is such a talented team and were able to visualise exactly what we wanted and carried it out with care and accuracy.

Colinton landscapers were easy to communicate with and friendly. They laid a new slab patio edged with granite, some turf and made 2 raised beds for us. They also made new fencing and a gate. We are very pleased with the finished result. There were setbacks with the initial fence materials and we had to start again with different rails and slats. This was resolved in a friendly way and it now looks great!

From first contacting Andy, he was helpful, friendly and professional. We wanted a wood fence to match our existing one and Andy turned up at the appointed time to talk it through, sending his estimate shortly afterwards. The work was high quality with the team spending time to get it right and they were respectful of our neighbours garden also. We have asked for further work to be carried out. Highly recommended.
