Our Customers
"Ali and the Secret Garden team have transformed our garden in the centre of Bristol. Our outside space is relatively small and on a slope but the team have worked hard and done a lot of digging and brick work to create our vision. The team are all lovely and considerate of our space. Issues encountered were problem solved together and materials sourced were all to our spec. They also repointed our front retaining wall which took many days of repetitive work but they took great care over it. I'd highly recommend the team to anyone in need of landscaping in Bristol."
Amanda Gaulter
"I'm beyond thrilled about the transformation - from a crumbling slabbed patio to one of smart composite decking with side planters. Also a new feather edged fence with a planter in front. The majority of the work was done by Jerry and Sam who were magnificent. The quality of their work was top class and they tidied up at the end of every day. I altered the design as things progressed but nothing was too much trouble. "
Hilary Roberts
"Ali and the team did an amazing job transforming our totally trashed and overgrown garden into a lovely additional living space for our home. Ali came up with the designs and recommended materials and plants. Jerry and the team dug out the old garden (including surprise concrete!) then rebuilt from scratch. We’re very happy with the end result!"

Secret Garden have been looking after my garden for a couple of years and it has flourished under their care. Their hard work clearing, planting, and nurturing the garden has meant that I can just enjoy it. I like being able to use a local business, and I highly recommend them.
SaraBrislington
"We have used the Secret Garden services to maintain our city garden for many years. We get excellent, reliable and efficient service, keeping our garden looking lovely all year round. The garden is looked after with expertise and enthusiasm, with continuous improvements being suggested and made. I highly recommend the Secret Gardeners."
"Secret Garden has worked for me both privately and commercially on many occasions. They have always been reliable and professional. Their work is of a high standard and has always been completed within budget and on deadline. I continue to use them for all my garden work and future projects"
"We are delighted by how well Ali understood our desire to move away from a rectangular space to a more interesting garden. The team were formidable – rain or shine, they slogged away and were at all times polite and friendly. Tamsin implemented a lovely planting plan and we look forward to seeing how it has matured this season. We are very happy to recommend Secret Garden. Their work brings us daily pleasure."
"We are very happy with our garden, especially the fencing, brickwork and planting, which looked beautiful this summer!"
"We recently had Secret Garden back to do some work for us, and once again they were excellent. Ali, who organised the job, really knows his trade and takes the time to understand what you want to achieve with your outdoor space.
This time, we asked for a hedge to be planted along a bank. Joe and Ben carried out the work and did a very neat job. They were discreet, polite, and impressively fast considering the length of the hedge and the challenging soil they were working with.
We’re very happy with the results and highly recommend Secret Garden. We will definitely be asking them back again!"
