"Very nice job @GardensByMartin, looks great!" Via Twitter: @REBOEU

"It has been a real pleasure working with Martin. 100% reliable; flexible and receptive to client's like me that might change their minds or ask him to slightly change something! Excellent quality work, with zero fuss. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't hesitate recommending him to anyone (as long as he can still fit us in for more work!)" C. Edmonds, Earl Soham

"Martin Browne is a first class landscaper and gardener. He is also one of the nicest craftsmen you are likely to have to deal with. He is creative and interested in doing good work as well as making a living! The jobs he’s done for me have been brought in on time and budget with the minimum of fuss. Good stuff and thank you Martin." Stephan, Mortlake

"I cannot recommend Martin Browne highly enough. He is a very skilled, knowledgeable gardener/landscaper – a decent, honest person with real commitment and passion for his work. He gave generously of his time, discussing my requirements at length and worked methodically and carefully to produce a beautifully landscaped garden exactly as envisaged. Martin communicated with me throughout the job, nothing was too much trouble and his quote was honestly priced. He left the site immaculate (even mopping the floor!) and sent a receipt for the works by return. He was respectful at all times and a joy to have around." Gill, Teddington

"Martin built a lean-to shed on the side our house - a solid piece of construction with good materials and finished very well. Martin was a pleasure to have around, he kept a clean and tidy site, and kept us well informed while he worked. I recommend him without hesitation." Ben, Teddington

"I discovered Martin by chance, watching the building of a neighbour's handsome bike shed as I passed by over the course of several days. We needed an attractive way to conceal a compost heap grown suddenly too prominent after we pruned an over-exuberant ilex. His screening solution is simple, elegant and very effective. It was half a day's work carried out efficiently and meticulously. He is, quite simply, a good person to have around and we will certainly consult him again for future, larger projects." Mary, Teddington

"I have no hesitation in recommending Martin and his work. He understood what was wanted and made useful suggestions. He works hard and sticks with it until practical completion and kept me informed all the way. Will definitely use him again." Helen, Teddington

"We asked Martin to quote on some work we needed in our back garden. The quote was reasonable so we asked him to commence with the work. We found him to be very reliable and professional giving us a first class job. We would have no hesitation in recommending him." Chris & Ruth, Teddington

"Martin, thank you so much the front wall looks amazing. You were easy to work with, always arrived when you said you would, and tidied up each evening. You were very professional, I would definitely use you again." Betty Staples, East Molesey

"Martin has turned our small, tired garden into a wonderful and extremely attractive family space with some clever space enhancing ideas and a keen eye for design. His workmanship has been first class and we are absolutely delighted with the result. He has transformed our garden from somewhere that we never went in to a space that we really enjoy spending time and we would thoroughly recommend his services." Jo & Alan, Teddington

"We asked Martin to complete three tasks in our garden and are delighted with the results in every case. He and his team arrived on time and worked long hours.

We have no hesitation in recommending Martin Browne." Mick and Nicole Davies, Teddington

"@Teddington_Town Try @GardensByMartin he’s local and does a great job." Via Twitter: @LouiseBolland

"Martin did a fantastic job replacing my fences and shed. He also skillfully rendered a large breezeblock end wall and re-laid concrete slabs. During the job, the garden was always left tidy at the end of day with gates secured and materials stacked out of the way. From the quote at the outset, to ordering materials, clear-up and disposal of waste, he planned everything meticulously; always letting me know at each step when and what would be happening. He is a professional, organised, respectful, skillful and tidy worker. I would definitely recommend him and use him again." Dilys Walker, Teddington

"Martin created a log store for me in quite an awkward corner of the garden under a tree. He came up with the most innovative idea and it has really worked well. Martin is extremely hardworking, honest, pays attention to detail and works to the highest standards. I will definitely be using Martin again and will not hesitate to recommend him to my friends!!" Shiaw Ling, Teddington

"Martin installed an artificial lawn for us, and also constructed a bike shed and a bin shed. In each case the work was very well planned, and we were consulted at each step and appraised of the options and costs. Martin clearly went to some length to ensure the most appropriate materials could be sourced. The work was undertaken very tidily with a minimum of fuss, with a fantastic end product and great finish. Throughout the process Martin proved clear and reliable and we would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Martin to anyone." Trevor, Teddington

"Martin has just completed another fantastic job for us. This time it was redeveloping our front garden by laying a slate patio and building a fence and gate to keep our kids in! We had no hesitation in using him again after the amazing job he did in our back garden last year. Back then he completed the back-breaking job of levelling our three tier back garden and wheelbarrowing tonnes and tonnes of earth through our narrow alleyway. He also put in new fences, a new shed, 2 new patios and laid a beautiful lawn. All completed with a smile on his face and for a really reasonable price." Chris and Debbie, Long Ditton

"Thanks so much for all your hard work. The garden looks fantastic and we are really pleased." Jo and Alan, Teddington

"Highly recommend Martin. He's a very hard worker, has great idea's and good price. Won't hesitate to call for my next project." Jacqui, Stanwell

"We are so pleased we asked Martin to work on our garden. His workmanship and attention to detail is exceptional. He has transformed our garden and we now have a beautiful outdoor space which all the family can enjoy." Halina and Tony, Teddington

"I got Martin in to do the structural work on a back garden makeover in May. He fitted new fence panels, trellis, constructed raised beds and barreled in a tonne of gravel. My dad said he worked like a Trojan (no faint praise from a Yorkshire man) and I'm looking forward to getting Martin back to complete the patio this summer. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him." Libby, Hampton

"Martin did a fantastic job of our patio, planting rail, fence, trellis and palm tree. He came up with lots of good ideas and everything was really well finished. And he was very competitively priced. Thanks Martin!"

"Martin transformed our crowded, small garden that we hardly ever used into a flexible family-friendly space. Martin delivered on our brief and we were very pleased with the result. We were impressed by his attention to detail and his expertise in all aspects of gardening whether it was fencing, paving, construction, drainage or planting. We would definitely recommend his services to others." Rupert and Belinda, Teddington

"We are really pleased with the new fence which Martin made for us. And, just as important, so are our neighbours who share the fence! Martin is meticulous in his approach to his work and is a pleasure to have around. The new fence is solid and well-constructed and should last us for many years. We reckon we have the best fence in the area." Garth and Carol, Twickenham

"Martin erected our garden fence a few years ago much to our satisfaction. This year he did a wonderful job of renovating the crumbling edge of our terrace. The wooden posts had completely rotted away and the edge was collapsing. He removed all the rotten bits and replaced them with concrete posts. He works very diligently and reliabily. Five out of five Stars!

Martin hat vor einigen Jahren unseren Gartenzaun zur vollen Zufriedenheit errichtet. Dieses Jahr renovierte er unseren Terrassenrand. Die Holzpfosten waren völlig verrottet und der Rand drohte zu kollabieren. Martin entfernte die verrotteten Teile und ersetzte sie mit Betonpfosten. Er arbeitet fleißig und zuverlässig. Fünf von fünf Sterne!". G and C. Richardson, Herzogenaurach, Germany

"I first saw Martin's work at a neighbours house. I was impressed and decided to have my front garden paved by him. On Martin's advice, I chose multi-coloured Indian Sandstone, the slabs of which come in four different sizes. He never placed two slabs of the same colour or size together and consequently the final result is very artistic. I found Martin very likeable and diligent. Even though the weather was appallingly wet, he still arrived daily - working when possible through the rain and getting soaked for his trouble. I also found him extremely fair and honest - what he quoted was what I paid. I would recommend Martin without hesitation." Yvonne, Worcester Park

"I am generally quite sceptical about websites where people recommend services but I gambled a few months ago when our garden needed landscaping and, being new to London, we had no where else to turn. Well, I am a convert to these websites! Martin is really quite a find and we count ourselves as extremely lucky to have found him. He was always professional yet willing to go the extra mile. He worked incredibly hard and, at the end of the day apart from the change in the garden, you would barely know he had been there at all - everything was left neat and very tidy. The garden looks better than we could ever imagine and this is all down to Martin. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Bryony and Paul, Mortlake

"We found Martin by chance online and he carried out some paving and landscaping work to our front garden recently. We were delighted with the outcome and found Martin to be a pleasure to deal with and extremely conscientious throughout the job. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Martin on any landscaping job and look forward to calling him again if we any more work that needs to be doing!"

"Wow, what a great worker Martin is; he did three days of garden clearance and cutting back trees & bushes. He turned up promptly each day and worked hard, the end result was an amazing transformation to my garden. Great work Martin, thank you!"

Mr C.J. Brown, Carshalton

"Following an initial site visit, we asked Martin to provide a quote for a new fence, which on review was very competitive and fair. On the day of the works, Martin arrived on time, worked hard and completed the works within the agreed time frame. The end product was exactly what we wanted and the final balance was less than the original quote.

Overall we are very pleased; Martin is an honest and hard-working landscaper. We would happily engage Martin again to do any future works and would recommend him to potential clients." Mr B. Gray, Teddington

"Martin is exceptional tradesman, the work (a front garden) was to the highest standards. He works to the timetable he has set. Turning up when you expect him and working cleanly and clearing up at the end of the day. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone." Michael and Teresa, Surbiton

"Martin has performed two jobs for us. Both his quotes were competitive and stated the required detail I was looking for to make a decision. He has a very high standard of work and provided us with ideas in designing our back garden for re-turfing. The second job was a custom built triangular shed which we are delighted with his craftsmanship. Would definitely use him again and recommend him for any landscaping or building work." Warwick, Surbiton

"Martin has done a great job, there were lots to do and he was very professional and hard working, he turned the rubble ground into a beautiful Garden. I would def' recommend him!" David and Susan, Worcester Park

"Martin was hard working, extremely helpful and gave us good advice throughout the project. Our garden was a blank canvas and although we had ideas, Martin came up with the designed for our garden, and helped us to decide on the planting. We are absolutely delighted with our contemporary lit garden and we are looking forward to sitting in it in the summer. I would recommend Martin to anyone." Susan and Chris, Worcester Park

"We were delighted with the results of two days hard work, Martin transformed our garden, removing old tree roots and taking out unwanted shrubs. He dug over the whole garden and planted up variety of new shrubs and was an efficient and conscientious worker who did a superb job." Sara and Jason, Teddington

"We were very happy with the work completed. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted and what materials to specify but Martin was able to advise us and offer a few design ideas of his own. The work was carried out diligently and at a timescale to suit our busy lives. Our garden has even withstood a constant onslaught from my 2 boisterous boys." Mrs S. Alexander, Teddington

"Martin did a total remake of the paths in the garden as well as renovating the patio area in the corner of the garden (The Point) and putting up some fencing panels. Recently he laid some water pipes and power cables in the garden and constructed a pump house. All the work Martin did for us was up to the highest standard and we were very impressed with the results. Much of the design, which has been very favourably commented on, was his creative ideas. The work was done to budget and to time, weather permitting, of course.

We must warn any future customers that tea and biscuits would be a good investment.

If any of your potential clients wish to contact us you have our permission to give them our contact details." Lyn and Malcolm Walker, House Boat Riverine B&B

"We ordered a large shed and needed a contractor to provide foundations and landscaping in difficult ground. The previous shed had collapsed due to subsidence. Martin constructed concrete strip footings and brick walls to form a stable base for the new shed. He finished the job with a surround of paving slabs and steps. We were delighted with the finished work, all done at a very reasonable cost. We can unreservedly recommend him and we will definitely employ him again for any future work." Mr M. Dennis, Isle of Wight

"Martin, thank you for all your advice and help in planning our new front garden. You did an excellent job of resurfacing and paving it and we're really pleased with the finished garden. We found you punctual and hard working and would happily recommend you to others." Andrea, Teddington
