Just had three guys from Graftin Gardeners come round (Harry, Jake and another). They came and went within 1 hour. In... this time they cut our Bay Tree down by two metres, trimmed the sides, removed three tree stumps and cleaned the kitchen floor of any dirt (as we don't have side access). Very impressed with their level of service and seemed very pleasant young men. P.S This is not the first time I have used this company. Big recommend.read more

Without doubt THE BEST tree surgeon / gardening company you’ll find. I called them out to deal with a lot of Ivy which... had spread all over the garden and then up a 3 story house. They got rid of everything. Killed it at the root, and removed from all the brickwork. They were super quick and efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and honestly just the whole process has been exceptional. Wouldn’t look anywhere else and will definitely use again.A M A Z I N G!!!read more

I found the office staff very helpful, quoted quickly and flexible over a tricky tree I didn't know if they could... proceed with, in case it brought an old wall down. Young team arrived on time, friendly courteous and with a 'can do' attitude. Approached the tricky tree with care and determination. Would definitely use again, efficient straightforward and no drama.read more

Poor experience booking Graftin Gardeners. After spending time with quoting (the team member that quotes is outstanding... and a credit to the company - but he is the only exceptional thing about Graftin Gardeners), I understood I had to wait 6 weeks before booking the works as we live in a conservation area. I followed up after a few weeks to see how the application was going but was told that an application hadn’t been submitted. The lady on the phone approached the company co-owner Adam, who said an application wasn’t needed for the quoted works. Although a little frustrated that I hadn’t been told this, the works were booked. However, on the day the team arrived late without any communication and were packed and ready to go home by lunch time. On querying why, I was told they couldn’t complete the works as they had forgotten to bring a stump grinder. I was told this at 1pm when they were packed and ready to go, not when they arrived that morning. They asked me not to call the office but I called anyway and spoke to the co-owner who finally agreed to send a nearby team member with a grinder. I couldn’t be present on the day due to my mums health but I was assured all was completed. Shortly after I received contact from neighbours because huge branches were falling from the trees. One was seen hanging above someone’s head and had to be knocked from the tree using a broom. Some branches were as much a 6ft in length and very heavy. As this was a huge safety issue I instantly called the company and spoke with the co-owner Adam again. We agreed a date for a team to come and check the trees and remove the fallen branches. I had also then noticed that most of the stumps had also not been removed but had been covered in soil, so Adam agreed to rectify this as I had already paid. I made sure I was present on the day but after a wait the team had not arrived. I called Adam again, he was not apologetic and said it would be easier if they could come another day. I had left my mum on her own and needed to get a train back to her but accommodated Adam as he said they could come the next day. He rushed me off the phone and said he would call me back. I waited 3 hrs and he didn’t call. So I called and was spoken to very rudely by a lady on the phone. Feeling angered by this point I spoke to Adam who was now also rude & then turned nasty when I mentioned I had asked advice from his professional membership body. He refused to rectify the works and then said he would collect the branches only. He repeated over that they would come between 8am and 9am the next morning. I waited the next morning and there was no sign of the team. So I called Adam and he told me he had cancelled the work and had no intention of coming. I waited another day, leaving my mum alone and Adam didn’t have the respect to let me know he cancelled again! I told him I had paid for works that had not been completed. He said he would issue a refund the next day. I waited but did not receive a refund. Adam is now ignoring my communication and has intentionally left me to deal with their mess, plus the task of paying again for someone to correct and complete the works.read more

I needed an emergency tree removal ( next day service) . Graftin Gardeners provided an excellent service and the three... has been removed within few hours. What is equally important is that they have charged me a standard market rate for the service.

In the past I have had great experiences with this company but I would not recommend them now. They quoted me £375 plus... VAT for a garden clean up. Last year same price great job - garden looked lovely. This year on the first appointed day they did not show up and did on phone me to say they weren't coming. On the second appointed day a gardener came round and roughly strimmed my garden for 2.5 hours - an hourly rate of £150 plus VAT. They didn't take away the debris because a van was out of service so I'm trapped at home for a third day too. I'm perfectly happy to pay for a rough and ready tidy up if that's all they have time for, but when I complained they took £100 off the bill (reducing their hourly rate to £110 an hour) and didn't engage with me at all on fixing things. All in all this was an extremely unpleasant experience.read more

I was truly bowled over by their work. I cannot thank them enough for saving my large, ancient and much-loved cooking... apple tree which had uprooted and fallen. The fact they then spent much time clearing up all the considerable foliage and leaves so meticulously was the icing on the cake. Not only that, incredibly nice and friendly people too. Five stars all the way!read more

Just brilliant. They really know their stuff and gave me some great hints and tips (also dispelling some myths). I felt... that my beautiful mimosa was in safe hands whilst they took into account my neighbours needs and also my needs to keep my garden manageable. Proper eco warriors - which is exactly what you need when dealing with tree care and maintenance and reasonably priced too. Some of my neighbours trees and mine in the past have been butchered by ‘handymen’. Now I see why having experienced and caring tree surgeons are the way to go. Thanks guy!read more
