Decking and Pergola
Tasmin and Brendan, Lilliput
"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."

Oak Framed Porch and Cladding
Kate and Chris, Merley
"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."

Home Renovation Project
Whittick Family, Colehill
"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!"

Garden Rennovation
Samantha, Sturminster Marshall
"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."

Laminate Flooring and Bespoke Storage
Rachael and Chris, Stubbington
"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!"

Decking Area
Lauren and Steve, Hedge End
"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."

Decking and Bespoke Planter
Hannah and Ollie, Christchurch
"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!"

Bespoke Bookcase, Panelling and Tiling
Tim, Sturminster Marshall
"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!"
