I thought Steve was very professional. He was there when he said he would be and gave me lots of advice/ food for thought and ideas. He was professional and knowledgeable. He text me the week before to say that he would start on the day I had booked (I loved this - not worrying that someone may or may not turn up). He was prompt and efficient and hard working. My neighbours even commented on this - noted that they had never stopped! The job was beautifully executed and I think his pricing is very fair. The front of the house is transformed and I can honestly say that it looks even better than I could have hoped. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to have worked carried out by Steve and his team.

I honestly cannot rate Steven highly enough. He was polite, friendly and professional. He contacted me the week before to confirm the start date and was there to start as arranged. The workmanship is second to none and he and Phil both courteous, polite and everything left clean and tidy. There was none of the chasing around as can often be the case. Just book and its all done with the minimum disruption. The value for money is excellent. I am glad I made this choice and I could not be more pleased.

We had a whole garden rip out carried out, Steve and his colleague arrived on the first day at 8:15am ready to start work, they had everything timed, skips being delivered, stones, paving etc. It ran like clock work from start to finish. They have transformed our garden from an old concrete mess to a beautiful, modern low maintenance garden. It really will be a pleasure to sit and relax in. I couldnt be happier with the end result. Everything has been done to the highest standard. I cannot recommend Garden First enough. Thankyou so much.Jan and Darren

Steve and the lads are completely AMAZING, we canât recommend them highly enough!! Our garden, and us, had previously been done-over by a complete cowboy, when thankfully Steve and the lads came to the rescue. They are 100% honest and hard-working (even through several days of torrential rain), deliver an extremely high-quality finish, provide fantastic communication through-out the job, and are well-priced (Steve even looked at ways to save us money on the job!). If you need any garden or paving job doing, we would not hesitate to use them and will be doing so ourselves again at some-point in the future. A massive thank you to you all at Garden First for transforming our mess into a much loved and fantastic garden. Ollie & Nic

The service we received from Steve and his team was outstanding - they were professional, polite and courteous at all times. Nothing was too much trouble and we had total trust in Steve right from the start, in fact once we met Steve we didn't even approach anyone else to give us a quote. We couldn't praise/recommend them highly enough. We are over the moon with our garden and love spending time in it. Thank you Steve, Luke and Connor.

A first class job! Right from our initial meeting with Steven we had full confidence that he would provide us with a fantastic job, and we were not disappointed. Steven and Luke worked diligently to give us a new rear garden patio, even working through very heavy rain and their care and attention to detail was amazing. In nearly 50 years working in construction I have seen many fine examples of construction and the work they carried out for us is another excellent example. We have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Garden First. Top marks - just a shame we can't give you more.Derek & Aileen Smith

Wonderful transformation by Garden First, thanks to Steve, Luke, and Connor. We moved into a new build with a sloping back garden and wanted the area splitting into two levels. Steve provided great ideas, advice and professionalism from the moment he came to tender for the work. The team have built us a fantastic sandstone patio, retaining wall, and beautifully level lawn. They also built a shed base, reset our rear fence and repositioned the side fence and gate. Everything has been completed to a very high standard. Nothing phased Steve and Luke, their experience shone through and they were able to work round all the issues thrown up each day. It was a pleasure to employ them and we highly recommend them.

Brilliant Job.We had Steve and Luke from Garden First working on our new patio for almost 3 weeks and the finished job really does surpass our expectations. They are not only nice guys but very competent and professional in every way and it is a pleasure to recommend them. They are always well booked up so be prepared to wait but the result will be well worth it. I had extensive paving put down at the rear and side of my house. I had seen pictures of the same paving put down at the Chelsea Flower Show (where standards are high) and thought we must have the same. Steve and Luke produced BETTER.Many thanks guys, Malcolm & Marion Morpeth
