  • Lucky you that Fred's moved into your area! I found him 100% trustworthy, reliable, professional, hard-working and knowledgeable. I considered him part of our team here at Lilybud, and a real asset. He's also a lovely guy and all of my clients who had any dealings with him found him to be a treasure too. I found Fred immensely useful for doing some of the heavier work in small gardens that my regular landscapers may consider too small a job. I was also happy to pass him regular maintenance work and get him in to do other jobs such as hedge cutting and planting.

  • Hi Fred Thank you so much for doing the hedge again- I spotted it immediately because it always looks so tidy and well-shaped. Selfishly I am also wondering how we will manage without you. You have been a source of advice and ideas and your work has always been perfect and so much appreciated. Alan and I both wish you every happiness in your new location, Very best wishes

  • Thanks. Let's hope the cordyline decides to behave itself now! I had a few friends round and much admiration for how lovely the garden looks - all thanks to you! I wish you good luck with the move and my garden and I will surely miss you.

  • Thanks Fred. Yes I wasn’t too pleased with the way our neighbour cut the hedge, however you have certainly made it look a lot better. You have made a super job of the front garden, I love it when you’ve been. That is great news on your house, although so sorry to lose you, you have been our best gardener ever. GOOD LUCK !! Many thanks

  • Hi Fred, I would like to thank you for all the work that you have carried out in our garden, it’s beginning to look very nice thanks to your hard work. As you suggested, we are going to take on the larger project next year, getting rid of all the decking and having it dug back quite a way to make a larger sitting area and completely new steps with Indian sandstone should look really nice. I wish you the best of luck in your new home.

  • Dear Fred, Many thanks for your visit on Monday to Longhill Road, I know we will return to a very neat, tidy & healthy garden. Much appreciated. We are so very sorry you are leaving and we haven’t been able to say a proper goodbye and thank you. But we wish you both every happiness in your move. As I said before, we would be delighted to act as referees in the future, if necessary. You are the most professional, reliable, conscientious & hard working gardener we have EVER had work for us. Thank you so much. Best wishes to you both

  • Property Moves - Estate Agent We have dealt with Fred for around 5 years using him for regular garden maintenance and gardening in between tenancies. Throughout this time we have found his work and knowledge levels to be excellent, combined with competitive prices we are sad to lose him as a contractor. I have no hesitation in recommending Fred's services and if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Regards

  • Dear Fred Thanks for all you did while we were away. It is lovely to return to the place so tidy, such a great job. I hear from a birdy that you are on the move. We REALLY will miss you. Do you have a double of yourself that you could recommend for us? I do hope so. Where are you off to? If it all falls through please don't hesitate to come back!! PLEASE tell your wife we can’t manage without you. You are too good to move and leave us! Take care and THANKS!

  • Thanks Fred. Good luck with your relocation. You will be sorely missed. All best wishes
