We are delighted with the work we had done by Oakleigh Manor on the entrance area and driveway for to our house. Victor listened to our ideas and then came up with some great designs. Stuart and his team (esp. Josh) did all the landscaping and electrics, David and team chose lovely plants and planted them all beautifully. The whole project was well planned, delivered as expected and we were kept updated by Rebecca from the office. We will definitely use Oakleigh Manor again for any future garden landscaping and would recommend them for their professionalism and experience.

After having a full garden design by Oakleigh Manor I found the whole process wonderful from start to finish. Keeping the whole process in house, from the design, costings and project managing, and then the planting as well!! I never had to worry that there would be any hidden costs that I was going to be hit with!! The whole team were so professional at all times, and i felt they listened and helped me to achieve my dream garden while still talking me through any changes that needed to be made to keep with-in my budget. The horticultural team were such a lovely finish to the process as well

I have used them on and off for the last 21 years. I have had absolutely no problems. They do excellent work and I am happy with their prices. They designed my garden back then and have serviced the irrigation system when I call. I live over in Ramsgate. Sad to see such negative reviews

I share the poor experience of other customers below, especially Joanne. I too would award no star if that were possible. I read information on the company's site and exchanged emails with Michael Spencer-Wright, the Sales and Marketing Manager. I was aware that with a lawn drainage problem I would indeed need specialist advice so, like Joanne, paid an advance fee in the belief that this would be a really thorough assessment and solution. The company director Stuart Barten arrived at the appointed time and seemed to be thorough, although for 250 I was surprised he did not do any technical survey
