Had our existing back garden removed and refurbished. All new patios, raised planters, plants, trees, lawn and fencing panels. The result is truly outstanding! John, Glynn and Andy are a great team. They arranged everything needed to complete the job with an exceptional eye for detail.I can't recommend Hidden Garden highly enough! More...

A brilliant service, just two days needed to transform our tired old front garden into a beautiful space which fulfilled all our aims. A very professional and thoughtful job from start to finish; Glyn even repaired a beloved old planter so we could continue to use it. Don’t think twice about choosing The Hidden Garden, you won’t be disappointed. More...

Delighted with our garden transformation. John listened to our ideas and designed the garden of our dreams! Glyn and Andy worked extremely hard and were very professional, courteous and self sufficient. They were here when they said they would be each and every day until the job was completed. We highly recommend The Hidden Garden. More...

The quality of the work from Glyn and Andy is absolutely superb. From start to finish our expectations have been exceeded - professional, tolerant, patient to our change if minds, courteous, tidy, and high expertise. After the project, it was sad to say goodbye they had become such nice fellas to have around. We are absolutely delighted with the end product and cannot recommend The Hidden Garden Team highly enough - one of the great quotes from Glyn was "look, it's your garden for years to come....

We are absolutely delighted with our garden.. The professionalism of this company is fantastic. John designed it and kept us updated throughout and even with small changes to the plan, nothing was too much trouble. . we were kept informed always, by emails, texts and phone calls with sourcing of materials and equipment and also many visits to our home to go through final plans. Then Glyn and Andy started. They had the worst weather imaginable, the “Beast from the East” had arrived but they kept going where possible. The nicest guys ever, they have such pride in their work, sheer perfectionists, their groundwork and flagging is second to none and the joinery work is incredible. I am hoping to upload some photos soon but just want to get the garden furniture sourced to complete our beautiful contemporary garden... we are so delighted with the work we have asked for another job to be priced up. Thank you so much, John, Glyn & Andy, it’s been a real pleasure More...

Really happy with the work on the garden. Took Andy and Glyn a week to completely rip out our old garden, rebuild the patio, gate and frame and re-turf. So pleased with the result. Andy and Glyn were really professional and friendly. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for efficient and professional gardeners. Thanks again! More...

Hard to put into words how happy we are with the work done by Glyn and Andy in creating our dream garden. We asked for an extension to our home, and that is what John gave us. Glyn and Andy are professional craftsmen whose attention to detail is second to none, but also great guys to have around and clean and tidy after every days work. We are not easy customers - changing our mind and thoughts, but the team were very patient and advised rather than instructed. We now have a space that already has the Wow factor and will mature to be such an asset for our family and to our houseJon Turner More...

There were a number of features in the garden we wanted to keep, but the central lawn area was passed its best and desperately needed attention. Hardcore areas, in particular, such as paths and patios also needed renewing, but our lack of knowledge about available materials hindered our thinking. In short, we were lost.

John visited soon after we phoned him, and within a day or two, he posted back a CAD drawing that hit every box in our brief. Despite the extant features, it looked nothing like 'our garden' anymore. In fact, it was more akin to those wonderful little 'back-to-back' Chelsea gardens that we simply love and adore. We loved it!

Glynne and Andy, two amenable guys and craftsmen of their trade, arrived to make the dream a reality. Self sufficient ( just an electric socket and a tap required), you wouldn't know they were there or even that they'd been, as they were the cleanest and tidiest of workers; any evidence of building work being religiously cleaned away at the end of the working day.

John keeps in regular touch by your preferred means of contact ( email in our case) to apprise of any developments and inform of the next stage of construction, as well as enquiring about your feelings of the work done to date. Incidentally, and We think this is essential in any working relationship, they are always willing to amend the design if you, or they, feel that it would enhance the finish e.g. Sleepers lining a border, as planned, may look out of scale in reality and a better option would be offered or existing sleepers, as in our case,lifted and relocated to a more aesthetic position in the garden. We also decided to have a fence built that wasn't in the original brief, that was duly and swiftly erected, seemingly without any interference to the work schedule. And, at the end of that schedule, the fruits of their labours was a sight to behold and we are absolutely delighted with it. Unfortunately, as it's so late in the season, we are unable to see the garden in flower, however, nobody is looking forward to the new season more than us so we can see it in its true glory.

To conclude, it was a pleasure working with all members of the Hidden Garden team who were knowledgable, professional and extremely friendly - and all at a reasonable price. It is obvious that they take great pride in their work, and on that basis alone I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks guys!

The Hidden Gardens Team redesigned the garden of our new home. The project took around four weeks and started in March 2015.

Initially the designer John Mathias visited us and discussed our requirements, which included the draining and re configuring of a large raised pond to convert it into an ornamental garden with a water feature, the removing of a large area of rotten decking, old flags and gravel, the installation of a second patio area and a re turf for the existing lawn area.

There were also a number of trees and shrubs including an amount of ivy which had become overgrown and all required pruning and cutting back.

John prepared a detailed drawing of the garden with his design ideas on and following a few further amendments the team started work within a few weeks of this initial visit.

I visited two gardens the team had worked on prior to hiring them and was most impressed with the quality and high standard of their work and the positive feedback from the the householders involved.

Since having our garden completed we have had many positive comments from friends who have seen the garden and we have also been happy to show it to other prospective clients of the Hidden Garden team as an example of the quality of the teams work.

We would have no hesitation in recommending this company to others considering garden renovations.

It's difficult to say how much I appreciate the work Hidden garden has carried out for St Peter's, but here goes.
It was decided in 2013 that we needed a new Garden of Remembrance. Those who know the workings of the Church will appreciate the time it takes to get this kind of thing approved, but we were eventually ready for a plan. Wanting to keep things close to home we approached three local garden designers with our brief.
From the very start, John Mathias understood what we wanted and after interpreting our very 'sketchy' needs, and including some brilliant ideas of his own, he presented us with a beautiful pictorial vision. As I said, wheels grind slowly in the Church, but John was there with us all throughout the whole journey and when the build time came he and the rest of the team worked tirelessly to produce a wonderful garden which is enjoyed by all the parish. The whole team really did give 100%.
