EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very professional team. Stuart was our main contact and he was incredibly helpful, he provided the patio stone samples based on what we were trying to achieve and budget, he gave sound advice on both the garden refurb and patio, always on hand to answer any questions. The team did a great job, they just got on with it and kept disruption to a minimum, leaving everything tidy and in order at the end of each working day. We are very pleased with the results and would happily recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A massive thank you Alan and the team at Hortlands for all the support with the project I’ve been working on for one of my clients. Without Alans support and knowledge I wouldn’t have been able to get this done, his availability to be on hand to talk things through in detail was a real sign to me of his love for trees and making sure clients feel confident in the decisions they are making. Lee, Alfie and Chris did a great job and made the planting and irrigation work look effortless. They also helped us get a big olive tree in place which was much appreciated. It was great to meet and spend time with some like minded people who really knew their stuff. It was also great to hear Alfie’s journey and I’m sure he has a bright future ahead. All the follow up contact has also been 5 star, Alan has continued to be on hand to support in making this as stress a free project as it could be. Thanks to all the team for their continued support, look forward to working together again in the future.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
