Report
We have recently employed the services of Chris Rabone Landscapes utilising his specialist gardening team. Every other Monday the team come in on time and manage our garden from mowing the lawns, maintaining shrubs, weeding and clearing pathways. The head gardener Yvonne came to meet me on their first visit to ask me how I feel about the garden and to check if I was happy with the work being carried out. She also was keen to get my feelings for the future of the garden. The team are very friendly and hard working and I am now reaping the rewards of a much brighter and bigger garden. I look forward
