We can’t recommend Chris and his team of friendly landscapers highly enough. From our initial contact up to our finished garden project, Chris and his team always kept us in the loop and were absolute professional.
Before our garden was done, we only had a lawn, without any focal points and any interesting features and a slope we couldn’t really do anything with.
Now we love to sit outside in the garden and enjoy exploring our new winded sandstone path, our lovely pergola and the wonderful raised beds and flower planting areas. Chris and his team kept us updated with the daily planned tasks and included us proactively in the decision of how the path, pergola and raised beds shall look, thus to achieve our dream garden together. Our sloped garden is now even an advantage as it gives us a wonderful landscape.
We are over the moon with our lovely garden and planting has already started. -
From our first contact with Chris, we were very impressed by his excitement and enthusiasm for our project. He went to a lot of trouble to show us projects his company had carried out that were similar to what we were looking for. In so doing, he suggested features and materials that added great value to the overall design that we had commissioned separately.
Then when the team arrived and started work we were amazed at how rapidly and hard they worked each and every day, whatever the weather. Expertly led and managed by Nic, they were a real team who were a pleasure to have around. They couldn’t have been more cooperative, considerate and helpful. Their enthusiasm, skills, attention to detail and willingness to get everything right and just as we wanted it were outstanding.
Despite challenges over the supply of materials during the pandemic, Chris made sure everything that was needed was available when required. Chris dropped in at least once a week to make sure that we were happy and to discuss any adaptations to the design as the project progressed. He was always available for a chat as we went through the project.
When we commissioned the design, we weren’t sure how closely it could be realised. As the project progressed, we became more and more confident that we would see the design implemented. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome, which exceeded our expectations. Chris, Nic, Val, Eugene, Dan and Geoff did a brilliant job; well done and thank you.

Chris and his whole team are fantastic. They’ve done many landscaping jobs for me over the years and always deliver to a very high standard with excellent craftsmanship.

Johnny has been my gardener at a Lakes by Yoo property. I'm so impressed with what a difference he has made in so little time.

Words do not describe what Chris and his team have done because more than landscaping my garden, they have transformed my house and garden into a little haven which for the first time in my life feels like a proper little home. Chris is … More incredibly conscientious, creative and generous both in his knowledge and with his detail, he met all my needs and at times I know I was a tad demanding…. Honestly there is no better person to manage the job, along with a wonderful, hardworking and dedicated team. Every task completed to the highest quality and such friendly guys. They worked tirelessly on my project in the middle of winter 2021 never with a complaint.One of my priorities living in a fairly inaccessible village on a non through road was to keep the neighbours happy…. They did this with skill and finesse to the point where neighbours would stop me on my walks and comment on how accommodating they were.I would without hesitation have Chris and his team back at the drop of a hat. I am so grateful to you all and can assure I am spreading the word as the evidence of a beautiful garden is there for all to see.And photos will be added in due course once all the spring flowers are planted.Thank you Chris.

What a shame there is only a 5 star rating…. I would give 10!With a new build garden, and not a creative eye…. we didn’t know what we needed or wanted. Chris and Wren rocked up in the landie and within half hour had used their design knowledge … More to give us the most practical, attractive space and within our budget.It’s not usual to find a trade that you can trust, are respectful, are happy, are honest, are hardworking, tidy and dedicated to their roles. It’s clear that the “working “ team Ant, Dan, Morgan and Aaron wanted us to have the very best from our garden as they were creating it. Literally arriving early and leaving in the dark.To say I highly recommend this company doesn’t seem enough. Thanks for your hard work all.
-
We had our rear garden completely landscaped from scratch. Chris and the team of landscape gardeners carried out the work very Professionally to a high standard of workmanship.

We have had various parts of our garden hugely improved by the work of Golden Stones. Last year we had the front patio area re-paved which was a great improvement to the appearance of the front of the house and very neatly done. On the … More strength of that we had much more substantial works done in the back garden this year, rebuilding a set of steps, replacing fencing and repairing retaining walls, and most importantly replacing turf outside our new bifold doors with a huge patio area for seating. All done with great professionalism and a keen eye for detail. Would thoroughly recommend.
-
The work was of outstanding quality. The work team were very skilled and were a pleasure to have on our property. Advice from the team was professional and always sensitive to the needs of the customer. We are very pleased with the appearance … More of our new garden.

Chris and the team just replaced two fence runs for us, one with concrete posts and gravel boards (complete with hedgehog holes!), and the other with wood. Very impressed with how quick and efficient they were, finishing the whole job in … More just over a day. The result is exactly what we'd agreed with a high quality finish, and I think they left the garden tidier than when they arrived! One of our neighbours had good things to say about Chris after some garden re-modelling he did for them a while back, and we'd also highly recommend him. -
Our project was a driveway extension and improvement to an existing decked area at the front of the house. The job involved removing a large amount of soil from the raised front garden.Goldenstones is a very professional company - Chris … More was very helpful throughout, from the initial design ideas to the finished project, patiently taking on board last minute design changes made by us without concern. Everything went smoothly, including the unexpected exposure of an underground electric cable, which was handled quickly and professionally. The team worked very hard, even erecting a gazebo so they could continue working during the wet weather, and the job was completed on schedule. Val, the project leader, was very helpful, even fixing various unrelated patio slabs and wall copings for us.We are very pleased with the end results - we now have somewhere flat to park up our van and can’t wait to sit out on the improved decking come Spring! We have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his team - we will certainly be using them again for future projects - the only problem we envisage will be availability, due to the demand for their excellent work! -
Chris and his team have completed a number of soft and hard landscaping projects for us over recent years. Without exception we have been delighted with all of them. The plantings are fully established and looked terrific this year and … More promise more in the future. The extensive stone pathways, steps and patios have transformed what otherwise could have been a difficult ‘valley-side’ rear garden. Chris took all the time necessary at the beginning to get the scope and specifications right and agreed and then gave personal oversight throughout although I would note that his team are a great bunch and very professional. Highly recommended.

We have been using Golden Stones Gardening for years mainly for lawn mowing & hedge trimming with occasional building works consisting of new log store, installation of raised beds & fence erection; we received excellent service … More for all; all men on site were polite & cleared up properly at the end of each day.We recently asked them to lay a large patio which went completely around the property; a few natural complications were uncovered along the way but were all overcome quickly & efficiently, without delay & the end product looked fantastic....We would recommend this company to anyone who wants a job well done with first class results!! -

Just before Christmas 2020, we had some landscaping in our garden undertaken by Goldenstones and were delighted with every aspect of the company’s professionalism, from our first call early in autumn, to a site meeting with Chris to give … More us a quote and a possible date, then completion of the agreed work.Their team of two, Dan and Anthony, were with us for four days and worked really hard in very challenging weather conditions to remove a large stubborn tree stump and surrounding soil in a bank at the top of our fairly steep back garden. They then built an extension to the existing retaining wall and shed base, preparing the levels for our new, larger shed. (They also removed and took away our old shed.).All this was done with cheerful disposition by the team, especially since access to the back of our garden is not easy and they had to carry all materials and machinery through a narrow gate with a tricky incline, made muddier by the rainfall. They also made good our garden and left it in as clean a condition as the weather would allow.Most importantly, we found that the aftercare was excellent. We did have a little “hiccup” which needed sorting out after they left and I sent a message to Chris the following day about our concerns. He replied that day and Dan and Anthony returned before 8 am the very next working day to sort it out, even although the company had stopped for their Christmas holidays by then. Very impressive! A company’s willingness to come back and sort out issues so promptly is, I feel, a real indication of their commitment to high standards of workmanship and professionalism. Even the company who followed on from them and erected our shed were very impressed by the job they did! I would certainly recommend Chris and his team without hesitation. -
I now have some well-designed and executed outdoor storage in place of a "dead" bit of space. It blends in really well with its location. The team working on it were easy to have around, worked hard and to time. Very pleased. … More -
Golden Stones re-laid our patio over 3 days in September and we are delighted with the result. 3/4 workmen worked very hard for 3 days -they were very professional and particular in all they did and everything was done to a high standard … More .The Indian Sandstone in Fossil that Chris recommended looks superb. The Company had laid patios for two of our children -also very pleased - which is why we used them. -

The whole team are polite, punctual and hardworking - can't … More recommend them enough. Quality work built to spec - nothing but praise from us.

From the initial meeting to date, we have been thrilled with the work Golden Stones have undertaken on our behalf.Our back garden was an open 'field' of about 3/4 acre. It was a flat, wind-swept, blank space. We had a vague idea … More of what we wanted this space to become; Chris listened to our ideas, took everything on board and designed and built a woodland glade garden that now fills us with both pleasure and pride in equal measure.Chris and his team worked so hard, through all weather conditions to create our garden within time-frame and to budget, and were happy to both suggest and accommodate creative tweeks to the original plan as work progressed.Throughout our project, we felt that Chris and his team really cared about constructing the very best garden they could for us, and the results speak for themselves. We cannot recommend Chris Blackwell and his team highly enough. -
Chris and team completed some landscaping and patio work for me. Having them on site was a total pleasure. They worked quickly and with great effect producing exactly what I wanted and leaving no mess whatsoever behind. I wouldn't … More hesitate to recommend them to anyone locally who was looking for landscaping and garden design services. -
Goldenstones have been used 2-3 times by us now, Chris has suggested a number of innovative/different options based upon a huge back catalogue of work in some very interesting properties. The team are always courteous, clean up after themselves … More every day and really seem to get through a hell of a lot in a day! I’d heartily recommend them and we’ll certainly be continuing to use them for the next phases of our garden projects over the next couple of years.
