Abel Landscaping

Darren gave me an initial quote, which got higher as the original materials requested weren't available. For most of the job, lasting 2 weeks, the only people who were consistently on the job were a general labourer and a new employee who hadnt landscaped before but we were quoted for professional landscapers. As the job went on Darren changed the design and, as I thought, exchanged the patio tiles I had paid for in exchange for a composite walkway in the same material used for my patio, he changed the layout of the steps and the size of the deck. On completion there were numerous issues which Darren agreed were substandard as he had rushed the end of the job to finish to deadline. He then presented me with a bill for an additional £1500 on top of the £14000 I had already paid him. This was far in excess of his quote. We refused to pay as Darren could provide no invoices and had removed substantial excess materials from the property for use on other jobs, but finally after 5 months of argument Darren agreed to make good the problems F.O.C. That was in November and we are still waiting, despite pleading with him to come and make good on his promises. I hate leaving this review because his workers never stopped, in all weather's and Darrens ideas are lovely. Sadly, he cannot run his business effectively and if you hire him I'd warn you to check everything you you pay him for and gets itemized receipts for the materials. We paid £14000 for a town garden to be decked, flagged and astro turfed. We have since asked 2 other landscapers what we should have paid and they agreed the cost with labour should have been approx £9000!!!

Excellent communication prior to work commencing , Paul and Darren were totally professional when completing work. We are very happy with finished product and would highly recommend and use again ourselves

I used the Kent/South East branch of Abel Landscaping for my project. Abel Landscapes transformed our existing single driveway with a new double-width block paved driveway and path. The work was carried out within time and with no hidden extras. The finishing touches really add to the overall appearance of the driveway, and this makes a difference. People now slow down to admire it, which is testament to the quality of the work. Very pleased!

Abel installed a waterfall onto my existing pond could not be happier with the result,it took them a bit longer than expected but that was down to us, a few rocks seemed out of place but Darren rearranged everything we asked. Now we have exactly what we wanted. Would highly recommend Abel, next year we,re planning to have more work done in the garden, Darren and his team will be at the top of the list to call

We are delighted with our new patio ! The flags used are Marshall's vitrified which are non porous so dirt will run off very easily. We were looking for a low maintenance product and we feel that Abel have sorted this for us besides giving us an extremely attractive final result.

I was very pleased with the service I received from Darren and his team. He gave a competitive quote to have a new patio and path installed in my back garden. I told Darren what I wanted and together we came up with a design. Darren explained about the products and how the project would progress. His team arrived on time to start the project and they worked cleanly and efficiently over a number of days to complete the project with Darren popping in on occasions to check how things were going. The patron and path looked really nice when it was finished and I was so pleased with job that a number of months later I asked Darren to install a new front driveway and articial lawn. Many people have commented on how nice the front garden looks. I would highly recommend Abel Landscaping.

Very professional!! The lads were all polite, courteous and very tidy! They done an absolutely amazing job. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaper. Thank you.

I hired Abel Landscaping to clear my garden, remove the existing lose stone garden, demolish the old decking and replace it with new decking and artificial grass. While the overall cost was higher than I expected, this was mainly a result of the quality of materials I had selected. Once the quote was confirmed, they arrived shortly after and completed the job quickly, working weekends in miserable weather. The workmanship was to a very high standard and the final result looks great - so much so that the next job after mine was next door! Would definitely recommend.

I hired Abel Landscaping to modify my front and back garden to help with access problems I was having. Darren Moss came up with a design eliminating steps by paving and creating a large deck with ramped access. The team that did the work were hard working and very skilled. The results were great and I am still getting positive comments by people walking past. I would recommend this company to anyone wishing to have landscaping done. They are knowledgeable and innovative and work well using your ideas for a project.

Abel Landscaping and Darren have made a First Class job of my Driveway, Patio and Artificial Grass to a very high standard. This was all done while I was away on holiday, I was kept informed of all progress on a daily basis with pictures sent to my Mobile phone. That's what I call going the extra mile. I had some additional work done and was kept fully informed of any additional costs as when this happened. Thomas who installed my Driveway, Patio and Grass is one of the best Ground workers I have come across, with so much knowledge and great recommendations.
