Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

"We recently had our back garden redesigned and landscaped by Creative Gardens. We are delighted with the end result. From our initial consultation with Simon and David to draw up plans and discuss costings right through to completion of the landscaping everything went smoothly. We were allocated Dave and Luke as our landscapers and they worked really hard all day, every day despite the very hot weather. We couldn't have asked for more. Everyone we dealt with was professional and friendly every step of the way. We now have a garden we love and that works for us with new turf, paving, pagoda, decking, plants and lighting. We have no hesitation in recommending Creative Gardens."
Jan Sharples
"Wow what a fantastic team. From design to completion, the team were professional, on time and we now have a beautuful front garden. Its so good our 2 neighbours are now using Creative Gardens for themselves. Worth every penny. Next project - our back garden. The team will be working with our architect to create something equally beautiful."
Zoe Holland MBE
"After getting quotes from multiple other companies we decided to go down the design route for our new driveway. Matt, the designer was on point with his first design and only a few amendments were required. The whole operations team were exceptional. There was constant communication throughout the process and every issue was resolved quickly, we could not be happier with the final outcome. The standard of work is about as high as it gets. Since completion we’ve had lots of comments from passersby complimenting the driveway. Thank you to the whole team."
Thomas Ward
"From our first meeting with David and Simon through to the completion of our new Millboard garden deck the design and installation services received from the Creative Gardens team was excellent and thoroughly professional. Their workmanship and attention to detail whilst preparing the ground and installing the decking, together with the care taken to mimimise disruption and protect the garden, were admirable, particularly as the weather wasn’t the kindest throughout the build period. Communication was good from start to finish. We are delighted with the outcome and certainly won’t miss the maintenance regime of our old decking!"
Tim Partington
"We highly recommend Creative Gardens & Driveways. We had a makeover for the rear garden including new seating areas, and a refresh of the front door step and a new driveway. David produced the initial sketch plans before we placed the order and then Simon produced the detailed plans before the work started. Tom and Matthew did the majority of the work with cover and help from Chris and others when needed. Their attention to detail, work ethic and pride in their work was fantastic and we are very pleased with the results. They have also been happy to follow up for any minor defects as the lawn settled in. We would certainly use them again in the future."
David Higton
"I first used Creative Gardens in 2011 for landscaping my back garden. They did such a great job I asked them to come back in 2012 to do the front and then I used them again 2020 to do my drive. Since they've been back every year to jet wash and do general garden tidy ups and most recently have updated my bench seating. The team are always friendly, polite and professional and clean up afterwards immaculately. I now open my garden annually for charity and get more compliments about the paving than I do about my planting! I can't recommend them highly enough."
Maxine Drabble
"This is the second large project that Creative gardens have done for us following the first one a couple of years ago. As with the initial job it has been a seamless process, very well organised, the team turn up very early everyday and get on with the job and are engaging and helpful. The finished result is excellent, completed to a very high standard and it looks great and was completed very promptly."
Nick Winder
"We would award 6 stars if that were possible. Creative Gardens is one of the best businesses either of us has come across. From the first discussion with David, it has been remarkably professional. Matt's design skills are amazing, Simon kept everything on track and Tom and Matthew implemented the work through dreadful weather with great care and precision."
Steve A
"Having our garden ripped up and re-created was a big project and slightly overwhelming for me. However, from the moment I met David to discuss options for our garden, to the moment the Creative Gardens team finished the work, I felt that I had made a good choice of team. The team that did the groundworks and garden creation were fantastic. I am extremely happy with the whole package that Creative Gardens & Driveways have delivered and continue to deliver and I recommend them highly."
Sarah Duff
"Many thanks to David, Matt and the onsite team led by Paul for an excellent job on our garden. From concept design to landscaping and planting, they take great pride in their work and the project was delivered to a very high standard. We can’t wait to see it develop through the seasons. Highly recommended."
Alan Walton
"Many thanks to Simon, David, Sam and Paul for such a great job in transforming our garden. The whole process from initial designs through to execution was exceptional. We're delighted with the finished product and looking forward to making the most of it next summer. Would highly recommend Creative Gardens and Driveways."
John Joyce
"It's been a pleasure having my garden transformed by the team. The work they have done is amazing - groundwork, paving, decking, fencing, soft landscaping . Paul the team leader, and Sam have been here for the past 6 weeks - Dave & Josh also appeared at different times. Their standard of work was excellent, their teamwork was brilliant and, despite some awful weather, they kept toiling and created my very special new space! An outstanding company to deal with."
kathleen shaw
"Creative Gardens are very knowledgeable about all aspects of design and landscaping. They completed our garden redevelopment and we're thrilled with the results. There were some challenges and changes along the way which they dealt with effectively and the team are friendly and professional with Simon overseeing each stage of the work. Their focus is on doing a great job using high quality materials so they are pricier than some firms but also more thorough and reliable than many."
Veronica Barnsley
"I have been using this company for approximately six months to maintain my garden after strong recommendation from a friend. The men are very pleasant & friendly, have never let me down, arrive on time and work hard. My garden has never looked so good, I just have to mention something and it’s tended to immediately. However, they see for themselves what would make an improvement and just get on with it. They are very experienced and knowledgeable so I always appreciate their advice and trust them to make decisions if I’m not around."
Stuart Clark
"We employed Creative Gardens to redesign our garden and to carry the project through to completion. Throughout we were very pleased with all the work done. Matt's initial design was creative and just what we wanted. The management team were professional, responsive and communication was good throughout. Despite very difficult weather conditions the on site team (Chris, James and Will) did an excellent and talented job and were a pleasure to have around. They were a credit to the company. We strongly recommend you use them."
