Oakwood Gardens Ltd have been doing regular gardening at our house and doing a great job. Not only staying on top of the main jobs but also suggesting and implementing improvements, repairing and replacing fencing and repointing the patio. Friendly, punctual and flexible I'd highly recommend. More...

I consider Oakwood Gardens a real find; I can't recommend them highly enough!
I'm always leery at first with a new service, as I've had my fair share of duds.
So I started small(ish) with a few basics like mowing. Simon and his men were on it straight away and did a bang up really tidy job.
Then I stepped up to more, like a new fence, new garden path, turfing, and most recently planting of flowers and shrubs.
Simon has always fitted in around me, bringing his own petrol-driven tools for (my) convenience.
His breezy manner could cheer up a winter's day.

Great Service. Simon is friendly, professional & knowledgable. His team are also great. They did a very professional job of clearing an overgrown garden. Now we're on to the fun / planting stage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simon. More...

We had Simon and his team lay some Astro Turf for us . We found him and his team very friendly and professional. They cleared up after themselves and left my garden tidy . I would thoroughly recommend him . More...
What do you love most about your job?
Being outside and seeing the changing of the seasons. Autumn and spring are amazing to me every year - the colours, the activity, you can really see nature bursting to life or slowly fading. Summer and Winter are more punishing, but you do get a real sense of conquering the elements at the end of a full-on day, especially in winter when you're inside your warm house and you can laugh about being lashed with rain for 3 hours with your family!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been travelling abroad for 6 months and came home filled with dread over the thought of being back in an office again - I had worked for several years for Sun Microsystems, a large US tech company. I decided to do some part-time work with a gardening company based in Wokingham and quickly realised this was going to suit me very well. I started the business around 3 months later and haven't looked back, that was 13 years ago.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we are passionate about what we do. We offer a standard of work associated with much bigger and more prestigious companies but at a much more affordable price. We also offer a genuinely personal service, with the same 4 staff working together for 2+ years and 3 of us together 4 years now, so you see the same people every time we’re there – they know your garden and how to achieve your requirements for the outdoor room.
Please check out the photos section - every photo is 100% genuine, our own work at one of our sites. In the projects section I've included a more detailed photo-diary of each job and photos of me and the team working at the various sites.
