After 3 visits Darryl did not return to continue his work. The garden was showing signs of improvement, and progress being made.
What work he did was fine and he appeared to be conversant with the gardening aspect of wat I needed. However the failure to continue, and leaving me " back in square one" detracts from his ability.
I have tried again and have obtained the services of a gardener who, I trust, will be more reliable.
Thanks to all gardeners who showed an interest in my request

I have chosen to use the Sustainable Gardener. Because they took time to come and give me a quote. Which was very reasonable for the work needed. Very helpful and happy person, who I look forward to do the job for me. More...

What do you love most about your job?
We get to do what we love every day. We want your garden to be part of your home a usable space that you love not just the ground attached to the house. When we see people fall back in love with their gardens and use the space it makes the hard work worth while.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In 2018 we found ourselves in the fortunate position that we could follow our chosen career paths wherever we wanted. Both keen fell walkers and general outdoor fanatics we relocated to the Penrith area of Cumbria and made it our home. Rachel qualified as a Paramedic whilst Darryl extended his skills and education into forestry as well as maintaining grounds on commercial land.
When Covid 19 arrived Rachel used gardening as a way to relax whilst working as a Paramedic, much to the amusement of the landlord when the front lawn got dug up and turned into a micro allotment. With this, we realized how fortunate we are to live in the countryside and how important outdoor space is for our mental health. Our gardens can enhance lives whether it's as growing space, a hobby or as an outdoor room for those sunny or soggy Great British BBQ's.
Being a proud eco warriors from an early age we decided to look into gardening processes and how to make them more sustainable and planet friendly and have researched, read and tried out all kids of the occasionally weird wonderful gardening hacks.
We decided to take the leap and set up The Sustainable Gardener (Cumbria)
