Dear Mike, Steve and Ryan, WOW! What a fantastic surprise when I returned from work on Friday. The work you have done for Sue and I is fantastic! All thorough the process of recovering our overgrown neglected wilderness you have worked tirelessly, courteously and respectfully in achieving a garden that is going to develop into a much loved garden that will be enjoyed more than we ever expected. Thank you so much for your happy smiling faces and much banter, you have become a pleasure to know and we are so pleased to have chosen you to undertake our mammoth task. You have listened and given your expert advice and we are so pleased to have trusted you in choosing the plants and setting them out. We cannot begin to tell you how pleased we are with the result and so looking forward to its progression and maturity. A massive thank you to each one of you from the both of us. Many, many thanks, David and Sue More...

The Forest team did a great job on making an out of control garden look neat and tidy, exactly what I asked for. They kept me informed as to when they would be coming, they worked hard while here and left everything clear. Very pleased with their work ethics, their willingness to indulge my whims and most importantly, the end result so a big thank you. More...

We had Forest Garden Services fox up our garden after a couple of years of neglect before we moved in. They were fantastic- everything cut back to shape, lawn back to life and advice given on upkeep. Really pleased with the work, lovely guys and so glad the garden is set up for Spring! More...

Since then, they have come every fortnight and kept it looking pristine. They are a friendly, reliable, helpful crew, very knowledgeable about gardening and are happy to share their knowledge . I thoroughly recommend them More...

Mike and his team have done a fantastic job of turning our slightly neglected garden, which had suffered during some building work and the aftermath of a digging puppy, into a lovely space again. They have been maintaining it ever since and we couldn’t be more pleased. Great friendly service and great planting advice. 5 stars from us More...

I am very impressed with the work that FGS (Forest Garden Services) carried out for me. They completely re-landscaped my back garden. They prepared the ground for turfing, before laying a new turf and and shaping out several attractive flower beds. These were planted up with various shrubs etc and then a micro irrigation system was installed, which relieves the worry from watering the garden adequately, especially when going on holiday etc.I would not hesitate to recommend this company! They are a very hard working team and trustworthy, friendly and reliable! More...

What do you love most about your job?
We find the whole experience of transforming clients gardens so satisfying and challenging . It's also great to put a smile on someone's face who has never had a nice garden before. Working outside against the elements and seeing all the changes throughout the year is also appealing. We are one of the few companies who take a pride in our workmanship because ultimately it leads to more recommendations.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We started our business 20 years ago after finishing a training course at capel manor horticultural college. My father worked as a self employed builder and encouraged me and my brother to do the same. Ultimately it's a lovely feeling being your own boss and making lots of customers happy with the projects that we carry out. We feel that it's a real achievement having traded for 20 years in the present climate.
Why should our clients choose you?
We feel that our clients should choose us because we have a wealth of experience in every department in the garden. We are all hardworking and conscientious and are value for money. Most importantly we are trust worthy and loyal to every customer who we carry out projects for.
Jet washing patios
We can totally clean and enhance the look of any patio. It doesn't matter how soiled and dirty your patio is, we can revive it and bring it back to looking new. We have a wealth of experience dealing with all sorts of surfaces including, Indian sandstone , concrete slabs, York stone, granite and various others to mention but a few. Our machines are the best in the business and give the best results. Once cleaned we can set out a complete management programme to keep it looking good all the time.
