Wow! We got home to a lovely garden on Wednesday. We are both so pleased with the end result which is way beyond expectations, both in appearance and the quality of a job superbly done. We can't thank you all enough — I will certainly be singing your praises from my rooftop.
George-Stone have transformed our wilderness of a rear garden into a wonderful family area that we will enjoy for many years to come. Kirsty, Dan and the guys were a pleasure to deal with and an invaluable source of helpful suggestions throughout the project.
Kirsty and her team did a fantastic job on re-landscaping our back garden. The quality of the dry-stone walling in particular is amazing and admired by everyone visiting. The team were extremely polite and personable and very hardworking.

A fabulous result brought about by a fabulous team! From the planning to the realisation of the final effect, Kirsty and her team were communicative and always willing to help. A boring area of sloping grass transformed into a multi-tiered garden.
The George-Stone team created a beautiful garden from scratch in a very short time. Every member of the team was first class — very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend them to anyone wishing to transform their garden.

I will definitely be using this company again as we continue to develop the garden.”
“The Team at George-Stone Gardens are very courteous, polite — and not at all intimidated by a large project. High standards (especially around our specialist stone work) were impressive.

“They have done a fabulous job on my rather tired garden. The boys worked incredibly hard despite the challenges of awful weather and Covid. Professional, dedicated, talented workers — a pleasure to have around. Would thoroughly recommend especially if you want a great outcome. They left no mess at all and protected outside verges too.”
“Great local gardeners: friendly, enthusiastic, good value and very professional.
