Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you all again for the incredible work…. We feel more lucky than ever to have such a beautiful space during this time. I was out watering yesterday and someone stopped to compliment the brick wall out front and ask who did it. It happens regularly and we are always excited to tell them who we worked with.

Aimee and Steve

Thank you so much for transforming our garden – it looks tremendous and now really enhances the house. Really pleased – thank all the team from us.

Tim

We have had excellent gardening services from ALDA since they helped us re-design and re-landscape our front and rear gardens. They provided designs, carried out the re-modelling of our garden… to a very high standard of work.

We have a transformed garden which is really an additional living space to our house.  The brief has been achieved brilliantly. We love it. Everyone in the ALDA team has been friendly, hard working and extremely professional.  We couldn’t have asked for more and would recommend ALDA to anyone looking to develop their garden and outdoor space.

I want to extend my thanks to John and his team… really nice guys who were great to have around. The guys have been fantastic whilst on site and I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending ALDA to others… The attention to detail and the quality of work has been absolutely stellar and I am delighted with the finished garden…

Many thanks for all your work on the plans and… in executing those plans for our garden. We are both very impressed and pleased with the way the garden has turned out and the constant surprises as plants bloom and become more established.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful design… we are absolutely thrilled with the result, I can’t believe it’s really our garden. The whole process has been enjoyable and remarkably stress free.

We are delighted with the work all the team put into our project. Thanks so much to ALL of you – you’ve been a great team and we would recommend your services.

I am delighted with Ofsted’s report. Jo felt the school garden was “outstanding with a seamless movement from the inside to outside environment”. She felt the garden was “truly imaginative – just what a nursery environment should be for children”!!!

Another great job, thank you to John and the team. We will be in touch with any future work required.

Lauren

Getting Alison and John in to sort out our garden was the best decision we’ve made. We are so excited to get them back in to tackle stage 2. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

The garden is looking wonderful, everything has come out and a few things I didn’t expect!!
