We would both highly recommend Matt and his team and fully concur with all the reviews and feedback given by other customers. I was drawn to Sanders Landscape Services and was therefore delighted when he called back after I had left a message - no other landscape gardeners called back. He was not put off as our garden project was small and gave advice on materials and gentle hints about the garden design which were spot on and helped us achieve the outcome we were looking for. He completed the work in the time specified, including doing some extra planting and replacing existing cracked pavers

Cant speak highly enough of Matt & his lads. Have done a brilliant job of transforming a rubble strewn, weed infested piece of very uneven waste land into a fantastic outdoor space (see pictures). Massive levels of commitment & plain old hard work from start to finish. Matt applied his extensive expertise in the most dedicated and meticulous manner, with a determination to get everything as perfect as possible as if it was his own garden. Very friendly & super tidy. Highly recommended! DS York

They created a new shed base and moved our existing shed to maximize space and created a natural woodland area amongst our mature Ash trees for the kids to play. They transformed the front of our house from waste land and parking into a large lawn area with small border and
