We'd had three quotes before Elder & Stone and none of them asked how we actually used the garden. Tom sat with us for an hour before he drew a single line, and it shows — the kids' football space is exactly where it needed to be, and the patio still catches the evening sun.

The patio drains properly, which sounds like a small thing until you've had one that doesn't. Connor's team relaid the whole base rather than cutting corners on the old one. Six months on and it still looks brand new.

Planting scheme is genuinely beautiful in every season. I was sceptical about the "year-round interest" pitch but Freya delivered on it — there's something flowering out there even in February.

On site when they said, tidy every single day, and the final invoice matched the quote to the penny. Rare in this trade.

Signed up for the Silver maintenance plan after the build and it's the best decision we made. Priya turns up on the same day every fortnight and the garden still looks designed a year later, not just "kept alive."

★★★★☆
Design was lovely and the planting is settling in well. My one gripe is that the project ran about two weeks over the original timeline — worth knowing if you've got a deadline like a wedding to hit. They kept us updated throughout, to be fair.

Response from Tom

Fair comment, Rachel, and I'll take it on the chin — that was a run of bad weather on the groundworks that we should have flagged to you sooner rather than just pushing through. Genuinely glad the borders are settling in well though, and thank you for sticking with us through the delay.

Sloped garden, tricky access, and they still got the retaining wall and steps done in three weeks without wrecking the lawn either side. Neighbours have already asked for the number.

Freya came round with samples of the actual grasses before ordering anything, which no one else had bothered doing. Small thing, made a big difference to trusting the process.

★★★★☆
Good, reliable service from the Bronze plan — fortnightly visits are consistent and the basics are always covered. Would like a bit more notice before visits when the schedule shifts, but nothing that's put us off renewing.

Full redesign from a bare rectangle of lawn to a proper garden with a terrace, a shady border and a lawn worth keeping. Every stage was explained before it happened, and the fixed quote never moved once — even when we changed our minds on the paving twice.

Outdoor lighting install was quick and looks properly professional, not the DIY solar-light look we were dreading. Worth every penny for the evenings alone.

Two years on the Gold plan now. Priority call-out actually means something — had a fence blow down in a storm and Connor's team were round within two days to sort the border it had flattened.
