The whole team were absolutely fantastic in helping my wife and I design, plan, and realise our beautiful garden. Meticulously professional, polite, and skilled - it was a pleasure dealing with Thistle Earth from start to finish. One real stand out was the communication from start to finish, no questions unanswered (no matter how strange), and any issues were dealt with quickly and professionally. I can wholeheartedly recommend them 100%! More...

E Stevenson

It's been very positive from the start - the main contact Mark is very proactive and an excellent communicator. We had a
good site visit to agree the work needed and a quote came through promptly.
The initial work was carried out yesterday and I could not be more pleased - the garden needed a big tidy and overhaul and 3 very willing and cheery gardeners turned up on time, verified what was to be done and worked very hard. There is more work to do and I know it will be carried out well!
