Richard Davies2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend using Thornburn Landscapes. Stephen and his team prepared and planted several pleeched trees. The quality of the trees exceeded our expectations. The team were so professional and pleasant to deal with and the tidy/clean up on completion was exceptional. They have a high attention to detail and carried out the work to an excellent standard. We will definitely be using Thornburn Landscapes for any other outdoor work we have! MB A2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful company. Delightful, dedicated and highly knowledgeable teams who are a pleasure to have on site. Thank you Thorburn! :) Marilyn Reid2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service all round, regular contact by phone, on time, huge amount of work expertly done in a relatively short space of time, garden left neat and tidy. Highly recommended. Cathy Egerton2024-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so impressed with Thorburn. Connor and Flavio turned up on time every day and worked very hard. They were incredibly polite and respectful. The garden looks stunning and they cleared up thoroughly at the end. I would highly recommend and will use them again for maintenance. Absolutely brilliant! Barbara Lubinski2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Replacing an old, tired, dark, loose cement paved patio area, with light colour porcelain slabs. The porcelain slabs have transformed a small garden with a side return into a really, friendly, welcoming space. Fortunately the flower beds are established, so everything looks settled after a couple of weeks. Stephen and all who worked on the patio did an amazing transformation to schedule. I can recommend Thorburn Landscapes. Laura Macara2024-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thorburn did a patio for us and throughout were professional and nice to deal with. They saw problems that might come up and always had solutions. They were really careful and tidy, protecting our trees that the patio went round, and were just a very nice bunch of people! We love the final result. Jonathan Bayliss2024-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We use Thorburn Landscapes for regular maintenance for our garden and occasional landscaping jobs such as fencing, creating paths and repairs to existing drives and paving. We have also used them for plant sourcing and planting schemes. We have found them to provide consistently excellent quality work. We also find them very easy to deal with and the team members are highly professional and friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Sophie Holland2024-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen's team did an excellent job. They were professional, turned up on time everyday, worked hard and took pride in their work. I appreciate that they also checked with me little decisions all along the way to make sure I was happy with everything. We ended up paying slightly more than what was in the original quote, but most of this was for additional scope I asked for, to which the team were very agreeable. The plants were slightly more too, but this was based on what flowers we asked for, this was checked with me first, and we were given the option to downsize if we wanted to keep costs to the original quote. I was also impressed with the level of knowledge the team had about gardens, plants and maintenance. They really took care in what they did and delivered work of very high quality. Anna Upshall2024-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thorburn Landscapes created a new flower bed at the back of our garden, removing part of a slab of york stone to do so. They built a two layer brick border to the new bed - perfectly matching that of a neighbouring bed. And they put new trellis up across the top of the back wall, again working to match existing trellis elsewhere in the garden. All done with a very good result. Timelines agreed in advance and all met.Load more
