Thank you Paolo for your work and advice on the garden. I would wholeheartedly recommend you.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Paolo. His designs were beautiful and they were delivered on time and in a format where I really got to experience what the garden would look like after the work. I’d highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate in using them again More...

Initially reached out to Green River Garden Revival to do a design for our large nearly blank canvas garden. Paolo is really knowledgeable and understood what we were looking for with great suggestions to help us use more natural elements and how to incorporate our numerous wants.
Paolo also clearly explained why things might not work or difficulties we might have. There was no pressure at any time to use his team to carry out the work.
We then chose to use Green River Garden Revival to redo our patio area at the rear for which access is difficult and it is on a couple of levels. Paolo and team turned up when they said, were able to solve various problems as they arose and the finished patios and steps look fabulous.
Highly recommend.

From the moment I met Paolo – I knew he was the man for my garden project.
Landscaping can be a very stressful and expensive renovation and you need to be particular in the team you choose.
Pablo along with his Green River team – leave you at peace of mind from the get go and really take their time to think through the whole process with you.
They can work with your ideas or simply take the lead. Either way, their passion for garden design really comes out in the work and with an impeccable finish you are truly left with something bespoke.
Always on time and finishing on schedule you are in safe hands. There price is competitive and you will have a curb appeal garden that your neighbours will envy.
They are true professionals with a very pleasant demeanour and the kind of team you would find on Gardeners World and The Great British Garden Revival – the latter living up to their name.
Happy to share photos of garden as testimony to their work.
Since they have been, I’ve had several family and friends come round and request their details for garden quotes.

My experience with Paulo and and Green River has been wonderful. Paulo is a lovely guy and he and his employees were polite and hard working. His attention to detail and ability to listen to a customer’s ideas made the experience good. Seeing everything come together in both front and back garden was exciting. So pleased with the end result. I recommend him without hesitation. More...

The process of designing the garden was deceptive, as it's very small, but important decisions have to be made. Paulo listened and brought his experience and knowledge to the process. Very pleased with the outcome. I left them to it by going away in the week of the build, and liaised by text and photo. The pond has worked really well, and adds a new dimension to the garden. Thank you so much to Paulo AND Bob, will happily recommend you. More...

Paola built us a wonderful pergola. It was a difficult area and needed a special design and he came up with something remarkable for us. What I really liked too was his quiet and unobtrusive presence and hard work (unlike previous experiences with other companies). Would definitely recommend this company and will use them again.

Our garden was a building site essentially after we have remodelled our home. Paolo and his team consulted with us patiently and we have a garden with interest and one that will flow with the seasons. We wanted something with creative flair and flow and that is what we have. The Green River Team care about their work and their clients. After planting they have visited to check the beds and to make sure that they are flourishing. Thank you for a great service. More...

Unfortunately we sometimes choose not to work with potential customers. We are very busy and have to choose our jobs carefully. Sorry you feel this way.

Paul had to help us meet a very tight dead line for a garden lodge base after we were let down by another contractor .
He provided a pragmatic but attractive design which was completed ahead of time to a high standard (despite terrible weather). Looking forward to working with them again.

An epic before and after! Paul and his team worked magic on our garden. Paul designed it for us as we honestly didn’t know what to do and presented his ideas on computer aided design documents to help us understand what he wanted to achieve which was really helpful for us. He has an amazing ability to see what isn’t there yet and it is so clear he has an artists eye and vision. He then set to work with his team, taking out the old garden and then putting in the new one. It was no easy task as they had many ground challenges as they went along and found a lot of things had been hidden underneath the old garden and that it sloped slightly (Level challenges!) However they gritted to it and in went the new garden! What we really liked was that Paul and his team are simply lovely people and very easy going. They are also respectful which is important when you have people working at your home. My dog also loves Paul a lot giving him almost daily washes with dog licks! Finally there is also an environmental edge to the way Paul operates. He looks to reuse and recycle wherever he can and even helped us source rocks for our water feature from a local farmer he knew (and rocks are bloody expensive so he saved us a tonne of money!). Even when we took out the old garden, he helped us put old materials on Freecycle so landfill waste was absolutely minimum. Thank you to Paul and the team. You not only helped us figure out what we wanted in a garden but made it a reality. Fantastic! Zoe & Rich (and Stanley!) xxx More...

Paul was recommended to us by another local gardener at the beginning of last year. We wanted to do something about our uneven patchy lawn, which could only be accessed via some old, worn (and dangerous) steps. After meeting Paul we decided to replace the lawn with a patio, using decorative slabs. The plans changed and evolved over the following few months to include a new fence, rebuilt steps and a handrail. Paul and his team worked through some atrocious and challenging weather conditions at the beginning of the year. The result is a garden that has been totally transformed. It is still a work in progress, for example planning for pots and planters! It is already a garden that I can access safely and enjoy! Paul works in a thoughtful, ethical way sometimes suggesting changes to enhance the overall outcome. I would highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone who wants a garden to be proud of. More...

Green River contacted me immediately and have been very easy and pleasant to deal with. They did the first tranche of work (pruning and weeding) very quickly and competently. The second, less urgent, work (replanting small patio garden) is yet to be done but they have discussed their proposals with me and hope to do it soon. Subject to the next phase of the work being to my satisfaction I would certainly recommend them and use them again, They're not cheap but I think it's worth paying for good work. More...

Greenriver did a good job for me, in laying a line of blue bricks as a boundfary marker between my neighbour's drive and mine, let into the sub-base unobtrusively, and covered with the drive surface gravel.
This provided extra turn-in space for each of us in our restricted approach.
Proprietor Paul is a knowledgeable hands-on worker, who knows how to do the jobs he takes on, and gets on with the work. He is a hard worker and has the basic equipment he needs to do horticultural and landscape work. He is also reliable in timekeeping, and trustworthy to have on customers premises.
I recommend him.

What do you love most about your job?
We love working with you to get the best out of your garden. We can come and just cut your lawn and trim your hedges but give us a chance and we can transform your garden into a colourful, buzzing, thriving space that you and your family can enjoy almost all year round.
Simple changes can yield great results, by careful planting along a border we can soften the harsh lines of fencing, add a patio area so you can enjoy your outdoor space, cut back trees to let in more light, or even plant them to give you more privacy and shade.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The gardening / landscaping market has room for a company with a more environmentally friendly approach. To this end Green River does not use weed killers or pesticides and avoids the use of chemical fertilisers in favour of a more wildlife friendly approach.
The outdoors has always been an important part of my life so working outside for a living makes perfect sense.
