Reviews

"We were absolutely delighted with the work carried out by Secret Garden. The team were fantastic from the very first design ideas right through to the final delivery, guiding us through each stage with creativity and professionalism.

​

The transformation has made brilliant use of what was previously dead space, opening up views from the back of our garden that we’d never have been able to enjoy otherwise. The quality of both the workmanship and materials was exceptionally high, and it’s clear that real care went into every detail.

Everyone on the team worked incredibly hard, always arrived on time, and kept the site as tidy and unobtrusive as possible throughout the project. Their imaginative ideas really helped tie the whole scheme together, and the final result exceeded our expectations.

The project was great value and delivered on budget, which gave us real peace of mind.

We would definitely recommend Secret Garden to anyone considering a garden project."

"Mike and his team helped us to transform our garden. Mike designed a fantastic deck, pergola, outdoor kitchen workspace and patio providing us with a fabulous space for entertaining and cooking.

His enthusiasm and work ethic are second to none. Mike worked with us to keep to budget and he is always very responsive to messages.

It was a pleasure to have the Secret Garden team working with us. They are hardworking, punctual, polite and a good laugh too!! I would highly recommend working with them for any home and garden project."

"Mike was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was always punctual, kept everything tidy, and was completely trustworthy throughout the whole project. He’s a genuinely kind, friendly guy who was a pleasure to have around, and clearly takes real pride in his work.

He was brilliant with the design side too, offering great ideas and guidance, and his skill and attention to detail really show in the finished result. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything felt like great value for money.

As a family man, he really understands how important your home is, and that comes across in how he works. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

"We would very much recommend Mike for his work in our home which is very much overdue.  We now have a beautiful bedroom, bathroom and flooring throughout that we have dreamed of.  And he is now working on the garden room which is looking amazing.

​

Mike is professional and very approachable.  He has fitted into our home environment with ease and he is totally reliable, cost effective and fun to work with.

​

He always had a smile on his face.  Thank you Mike for making our dreams come true!"

"Mike has done a brilliant job in replacing our decking and steps, also building a brilliant new pergola.

​

Not only has the work been great, but Mike is a great communicator, and a super nice chap to boot, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"THANK YOU. Love what you've done and really pleased with it all.  Thanks for working so hard and helping to keep costs down, it is appreciated."

"We wanted to transform our kitchen from a nice, albeit bland space, into something calm but exciting. In just a few days, Mike had replaced the tiles and added paneling around the room.  We are thrilled with the results.  Everything was finished to a really high standard with some nice touched.  All done on time and priced fairly."

​

"Following the previous work, we were quick to get Secret Garden back for some custom built-in bookshelves for our living room.  Once again we were really pleased wit the results: the price was very fair for the quality and care shown - and it looks great.  Couldn't recommend highly enough!"

"Mike was so helpful when we asked him to come and quote for some work in our garden.  We had an idea of what we wanted but we weren't sure on some of the details.  Mike talked us through the pros and cons of the options and gave us a detailed outline of the costs and a time allocation for the work - which he kept to.

​

We couldn't be happier with the results, we added another usable outdoor space to our home, everything's been finished to a really high quality and it's been used regularly for the last two summers!  I'd highly recommend Secret Garden to anyone looking to update their outdoor spaces."

"From design through to completion, Mike was professional, efficient and kept us well informed at all stages of the project.  We now have a totally transfirmed outdoor space with large decking area for summer entertainment as well as a useful lean-to storage shed and covered bin store.  We've since had him back to complete some other small jobs too and nothing is ever too much trouble.  We would highly recommend Mike for anyone looking to make home or garden improvements."

"Mike has done a couple of excellent jobs for me and my home, he put new laminate flooring throughout my downstairs, totally transforming the space.  He's also used his carpentry skills to provide us with a totally bespoke wardrobe/storage seat from a cumbersome stair bulkhead.

​

Mike worked tirelessly on both jobs, keeping his good humour and positivity throughout!  I highly recommend him!"

"Mike has created a fantastic new decking area which is so much better than what we had before!  It was rotting away and falling apart and we were at a loss about what to do when trying to decide what to do about it.

​

Mike  considered what we wanted from the space and gave us some ideas on how we could achieve this within our budget.  We agreed on a plan, however the extent of the damage was only to be see once the foundations had been exposed.

​

Using his knowledge and initiative, he was able to quickly adapt his plans.  His work ethic is impressive and he worked hard to achieve the best outcome.  His attention to detail was apparent throughout.  We are thrilled with our new decking and would highly recommend Secret Garden Carpentry and Home Improvements."

"Mike has done a fantastic job for us.  He was efficient and hard-working, producing the decking and planter well within the time frame he gave us and to an extremely high level of quality and detail.

​

He shared his thought processes and reasons for doing things the way he did throughout so we never felt like he was trying to take any shortcuts.  He then came back and replaced some guttering for us which he had noticed wasn't draining properly - something we never even knew we needed done.  I couldn't recommend him highly enough!"
