I clicked on 1 pound symbol...does that mean a low price or a high price? I want to tell you about…read morewhat Grass Roots Horticulture charged for completely transforming my rear garden. I couldn't believe how little they wanted to do it too. But anyway, that's not the real important thing. I recently bought a house - my first!! yay! - and the rear garden was a real bomb site. There was the skeleton of an old greenhouse, piles of rubble everywhere, mountains of bricks, window frames, a bed...I think you get the picture. It must have been a dumping ground for many years. Oh, and there were horrible concrete paths all around the garden, which simply had to go. And the lavels were all over the place. I wanted all the rubbish and rubble gone, the concrete paths gone, and the levels landscaped and profiled. I felt so sorry for the Grass Roots lads because as they were scaping the land - after spending 3 days taking everything to the skip - they kept finding more and more rubble that had been buried. This explains the occasional big piles of soil. Why would people bury rubble? So, when everything had been removed and the land was profiled, weedkiller was sprayed onto all the soil surfaces. Paul then came back 2 weeks later and re-sprayed because he said weeds love bare soil. He didn't charge for this, by the way. We then discussed how to create the perfect garden for me and my ducks - which I will be buying soon. Anyway, I've rambled on far too long. All I wanted to say is that I cannot recommend Grass Roots highly enough. The garden looks absolutely amazing now and I cannot believe the transformation. I am in awe of the Grass Roots boys. Well done lads! Sarah Aitken Relax Shiatsu

I was introduced to Paul at Grass Roots Horticulture through a close friend of mine, and we…read morediscussed what I wanted from my garden. I gave him some ideas and asked him what he thought...and it was at this point that I realised that he understood what I wanted more than i did, or I knew it but I hadn't conyeved it to him. I was worried for a moment, because he just stood there in silence looking at the garden. Then he turned around and began painting a picture with words of what the garden would look like. It was incredible to witness. He's a real garden-Rainman! So this is where it all began. Paul and his team accomplished exactly what they'd put on paper, with rear style and panache. I work from home, so looking out of my window when I have writer's block is a new thing for me. I never wanted to see what was out there, but now it's incredible. I can't look at it enough. Paul sent me a link to add a review, and I'm so glad he did. This is another way for me to thank him and his team for a truly incredible job! Well done!! Joseph Thomas Bullet Proofreading

I managed to get £200 (even though she said I could have £400-another lie )cos she said she'd done £1000 worth of work! )Unfortunately I didn't have a signed contract- when I handed over the £1000 which I've since heard is illegal ( not sure about that but I'm looking into it)Then to add insult to injury she started insulting me on Facebook, calling me a cunt etc. Really unprofessional but not unexpected .If you want a garden left like a war zone hire these cowboys, you won't be disappointed.Ive had plenty of quotes since for half the price from ACTUAL gardeners. The pictures say it all.

Everywhere one looked the plants and shrubs seemed to say: We have a good manager. Later, I was at another such complex and noted the same quality of workmanship in the grounds. Then I discovered that the same company was contracted for both places. A few days later, I met the Green Grass Gardeners team at the complex where I live. If you are looking for thoughtful and conscientious workmanship in your gardens, then I encourage you to explore this company. Global Nomad.

It's an arrangement that works well. It means that he can help with the heavy work associated with stocking the shop in the mornings, and then can move onto his regular gardening clients safe in the knowledge that everything has been taken care of. Richard is not a greedy man, and is often called out to one-off jobs where people have been charged a fortune for shoddy workmanship that needs rectifying. This kind of thing doesn't sit well with him. Charging a fair rate, he often ends up being the regular gardener for these unfortunate people. He laughs when he tells you that he likes to play fair, explaining that his clients know where to find him if they need to... so there's no way he could get away with any shenanigans even if he wanted to!
