The Parkstone Gardener

Richard is excellent, hard-working, knowledgeable and reliable. Our garden thrived under his care. Highly recommended.

We called on Chad's expertise to design a planting scheme for our newly landscaped front garden. It was a pleasure working with Chad with his extensive knowledge of plants and selecting varieties suitable for the location. The planting design and execution have transformed our garden. We received so much positive feedback on how great it looks!

Richard has been really helpful keeping on top of the garden whilst we are away and it has been really easy communicating with him when he does so.He has kept on top of the borders well with pruning during this wet and sunny weather to keep them looking their best. He has also helped spot any disease/bug issues and treat it for us to give us some peace of mind. As well as keeping on top of lawn care.Richard has planted up some new pots for us as well which look lovely and brighten up the balcony!It has been really easy working with Richard and I would recommend him highly.

Richard Keeling was in charge of the centre garden of Ennismore Gardens, London SW7 for several years, whilst working for Garden Associates, and did an excellent job. The garden was well maintained all year round and his knowledge of plants was invaluable.The garden, like many other London squares, is home to a number of very mature (150 years old) plane trees, so it is necessary to have winter/Spring flowering plants before the Summer when the leaf canopy keeps the sun out of most of the garden.We were very sorry to lose him when he moved to the country.

Richard was my garden guru , helpful and professional at all times and always attended to all my questions and needs for the garden willingly. Maintained my garden square magnificently - gorgeous flowers bloom all year round. Highly recommend!!

My garden was overgrown with brambles and ivy. I didn’t know where to start or what could be saved. Within 6 hours, Richard completely cleared all the weeds, saved and pruned loads of plants/shrubs telling me what each one is and what to expect. It now looks very orderly and totally manageable. It’s all ready for winter. He worked solidly - literally hardly stopped. Best money spent. He’s going to return in a few months to prepare me for spring. Highly recommend the Parkstone Gardener.Thank you Richard

Richard has really transformed the way we’ve been looking at our garden - he not only spent some quality time on general maintenance but also helped us rethink how to deal with an ugly fence! We now have a much nicer hedge growing and he will be back to tackle the other sides of the garden! Knowledgeable, reliable and proactive - would highly recommend for projects large or small.

We hadn’t had much time for upkeep of our garden since moving into the house. Richard tidied it up to a point we can start to make the garden our own and it looks so much better. Got more done in two days than we would have done in two weeks.

We used Richard the Parkstone Gardener to help spruce up our front and back garden - he did a wonderful job. Easy to work with, communicative and very reasonably priced.

Richard has done a couple of things for us, and will be back! He is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and proactive. He worked with garden designers we had already recruited to move, remove and plant a whole section of garden, and took great care in doing so, and impressed the designers with his knowledge and competence. He also did a general tidy up for us, even things such as removing the dead tomato plants etc, but also advised on and undertook maintenance of the garden as a whole - what could benefit from a prune, what should be left etc. Also took care of hedges, and leaf clearance etc and pond maintenance! Lovely guy, pleasure to have around, punctual and cracked on with the job. Highly recommend!
