“Ben and the team at Hythe Garden Landscapes recently completely transformed our garden. We are beyond impressed with the whole experience, from start to finish. The team are friendly, professional and to be quite honest, were a joy to have here with us over the weeks that the project took to complete. Cannot recommend HGL enough, if you are considering them for your project you won’t be disappointed. Their attention to detail and standards of work are second to none.

We’re looking forward to having more work done with them in the future..”
