If you enjoy having your time wasted, then I can highly recommend HCL. An unfortunate example of a small business being run badly.

We have worked closely with HCL on London gardens for over 12 years. Our projects are often complex and demand very close attention to detail - we trust Sam and his highly skilled and experienced landscaping team to deliver. We have always found them to be reliable, efficient, professional and courteous. They take care of their projects and are always prepared to go the extra mile - we wouldnt hesitate to recommend them.

Report
We have used Sam and the team for complete redesigns of the gardens at our current and previous home. From the design, through to the build, planting and ongoing maintenance we have found them all to be a real pleasure to work with. HCL find a way to bring originality, pragmatism and high quality workmanship together to deliver an end product that hits all the buttons - including budget. Thoroughly recommend.
