After failing over a number of years to control my unruly garden I decided to call in the professionals. TW1 Gardening was recommended to me and Jan came to my rescue. I can confidently say that she and her team are professional and a pleasure to work with. The garden has been thoroughly rejuvenated using her input and now a year on I am seeing the results of the hard work. My confidence in her work has led me to expand this project to the entire garden. I can also say that third party contractors to carry out other work such as lighting and decking have also been of a equally high standard.

Im very happy with the service I have received from tw1 gardening in the last year. They have a lot of knowledge about plants etc and have really improved my garden. Kate, the gardener I usually have, works very hard and the result is that my garden is now looking really lovely. I cant recommend them highly enough.

I have so enjoyed having the input from TW1 Gardening. They listened carefully and so 'got' my garden totally. This winter instead of feeling guilty every time I went into the garden, I have really enjoyed how it looks. The suggestions they make come from their properly qualified horticultural knowledge. I have been having 4 hours a month. They have worked hard and each visit has been value for money.They have also arranged for long outstanding jobs that I had been meaning to do for ages - like trees cut back, decking problems solved and a water feature put in. I'm looking forward to working with

Asked Jan to refresh my 19 year old garden helping to teach me how to do it so I can learn. Very helpful and hard working team. I have learnt lots and the garden looks so much better already, even over the winter months
