Testimonials

What our customers say.

4.9 / 5 average · 184 reviews

I have used Classic Landscaping on several occasions for patio and wall brickwork and fence work. The communication, quality of work , reliability and friendliness has always been of a very high standard. I have already recommended Classic Landscaping to neighbours and they are equally satisfied with the excellent workmanship and service.

Ian and his team were excellent. All products used were of a very high quality. Even with quite scant detail Ian fully understood what I was looking for. They were very polite and friendly and extremely tidy and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone. He also repaired our rotting fence panel and once again did an excellent job. We are really happy customers.

BH15

We’ve had a couple of jobs done by Classic Landscaping and have been extremely pleased with the results. A further job to follow. Ian, Scott and Cade are a great team, very hardworking, friendly and polite with experienced knowledge to suggest ideas to help with decision making. Always leave the site clean and tidy. To be thoroughly recommended.

BH11

The team and Classic were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The team of 3 were with us for a number of weeks creating resin paths and putting new stone work around our flower beds. My wife and I were very pleased with the teams work and the finish they created. All hard workers. We would recommend them and certainly intend to use Classic again

BH6

Amazing work and thoroughly professional and efficient. The team were great to have around and liaised with me throughout. I am delighted with their work and will be using them again. I have received many compliments on their work from neighbours and passers by who taken their details they were so impressed.

Ian and his men arrived and worked like trojans until the work was completed. From the quote process to completion I can’t fault Ian and his team. They were hard working, tidy and kept us in the loop the whole time. I’m so pleased with the results, I now have a garden that can be used all year round. It’s no longer am useable space.
