Customer first until theres a problem! Totally unprofessional. They ignored emails. They refused to return to discuss issues. The worst contractor we have ever dealt with. Advice if you are planning to engage MH to carry out any work for you

Get a written contract and terms and conditions. We didnt even when Matt referred to the contract when questioned about removing our previous paving slabs.

Numerous requests for this were ignored. Insist on having access to receipts for materials, plants etc. that you have effectively paid for
Get the guarantee verbally referred to constantly by Matt up front and in writing - what it covers against what and for how long. MH has have consistently refused to provide this, leaving us highly sceptical that we will have any future recourse should problems arise
Dont believe their website - they do use subcontractors - for brickwork, which was messed up and had to be repeated.

They spent 3 hours laying bricks in darkness under the light of 2 iPhones! Nobody from MH ever supervised any of this.
Withhold part of your final payment (maybe 10%) for at least 3 months. MH supplied a small tree which once the spring growth appeared was dead on one side. Hollie argued at every stage offering only a cash refund (leaving us to source a replacement, remove the old tre and plant the new tree ourselves) despite being contracted to supply and plant a tree, which was certainly not fit for purpose when planted.

We offered to take the matter up directly with the supplier, but MH refused to provide their details. We doubt it ever came from a nursery. An unbelievable argument over something with a value of a 0.25% of the project price. The first test (pretty small) of their customer ethos completely and utterly failed
Carry out your own inspection on completion. Matt promised a full clean up - Hollie then told us the team had left it spotless despite never having been to our property!

They had mixed concrete on a block paved drive without adequate protection. It took us 2 days to clean the garage, walls, fences etc. and Matt had to return to acid wash the block paving. Unless you are happy for your project, comments etc. to appear on MHs website, Facebook page and other media without your permission, ensure that you retain those rights

Finally, some advice for Matt and Hollie.

Stop promising on customer satisfaction and actually deliver. Your words were meaningless. Talk is cheap, action is the only criterion. We are pretty normal people and have not written this review lightly - if you would like to discuss any of these issues with us before committing to a project with MH please contact us.

Cannot recommend MH Landscapes enough, Matt, Hollie & team were fantastic from start to finish. At the initial discussions Matt completely understood what we were trying to achieve, the designs from Hollie were perfect the first time and then the final look to our transformed garden is exactly what we had hoped for! It's gone from a garden that was not to our taste or manageable for our level of "green fingers" to a gorgeous modern space perfect for entertaining (when we are allowed to again!!).

During the work itself the team were fantastic, ready to answer all our daft questions as we went along and flexible with a couple of small(ish) additions we asked for. Also they were fantastic with our dog (who likes to say hello to everyone each morning!) which was a real plus for us. Very happy customers!

Wow, where do we start with the amazing transformation of our garden in our new home that Hollie designed for us and Matt and the team turned into reality. It is even better than we could have ever imagined and the team have been truly fantastic! Most of our project was completed in pretty grim weather conditions, but nothing stopped them making progress, even when covered in mud! Not only are the team great at what they do, they work with a smile on their faces and are a pleasure to have around. Thank you and we would recommend you to anyone looking for great landscapers in the future!

Matt, Hollie and the team did a great job on designing and building our garden. It has been completely transformed and couldnt be happier with the end result! Would thoroughly recommend and was a pleasure to have them working on our garden!

Matt and his ream from MH Landscape came and transformed my back garden for me creating raised flower and vegetables beds ...they worked so hard in very hot condition this week
I have no hesitation in recommending Matt and his company for a fabulous job the team did ...Thank you so much guys a job well done

Really pleased with every aspect of the service from Matt and Hollie. From the initial visit, to finalising the design and then the build, in some of the wettest weather I have ever seen! Matt, Hollie and the team did a fantastic job and we've already been making the most of our new patio in the early Spring sunshine - thank you

I cannot speak highly enough about what Matt & Hollie have created in our garden. It matched our requirements perfectly. The hard work and effort and continuous communication made the project a success from start to finish. It has added a new room to our house and we look and use our garden now as an extension of the house. Would highly recommend this team

Matt, Hollie and the team did an amazing job with our garden. throughout the whole process from design to finish they were so lovely to work with, and the end result is fantastic - a garden that our family can enjoy for years to come. For the first time since we moved to this house we can really enjoy the garden thanks to the work they did for us. Thank you!

Thank you so much Matt, Hollie and team for completely transforming our front garden path! You have moved it forwards 90 years and added a great deal of value to our property. The new look is even more compatible and innovative than what we envisaged, and it is great credit to your professionalism that you overcame terrain, weather and logistical problems to achieve this. And the timeline for completion was met! We would recommend you to anyone.

Fantastic service, Matt made the idea in my head a reality! He made the designing fun and got over all the problems along the way to deliver the perfect result!
