Sick of Gardeners that don't know a

At A and J Owen Garden Service' we pride ourselves on quality service - but what does quality mean? We define quality as doing a good job, at a fair price and that we turn up when we say we will! 'this should be standard - but sadly isn't always".
We are happy to come and give you no obligation quotations - at a time to suit you. If this is 8 o'clock on a Friday night or 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning we will do all we can to fit round you. Our aim is for you to feel that we put you first.

Even if the weather is horrendous we will still come as usual - the only exception would be if to do the work would be bad for you ie cutting lawns is not a good idea in pouring rain - although I have seen this done.
What sets us apart from many garden maintenance companies is that our motto is to enhance and improve where possible and to work with the wildlife which is in every garden - big or small - rather than to destroy everything green with a petrol strimmer! We also work to help gardens have 'all year' interest. Our planting schemes are designed to ensure that there is always something happening in your garden - even in January.
We also offer a help desk service. If you have a problem with a plant - drop us an e-mail and we will do our best to help!
To summarise, we want to help you have a garden which makes you happy and for you to enjoy.
Look forward to having the opportunity to work with you. Call us today to see how we can help.
plus lots lots more...
A lot of garden 'designers' charge a ridiculous amount of money to basically produce a posh drawing. An initial visit can cost £500 and even a small garden can cost £2500 plus plants.
What we offer is a garden planning service where the first visit is free and we then e-mail you with some suggestions and a price (also free of charge).
