“Cunningham Gardens have provided services for our garden for just under 5 years. Throughout that time Tom & his team have transformed our garden from what was a field to an interesting & beautiful garden. They take great pride in ensuring that our favourite plants, colour schemes are used & are always ready to offer ideas to enable the garden to continue to evolve.

From just the maintenance to planting up new borders nothing is too much trouble. Tom keeps us up to date with any new rules & regulations (especially during Covid)& will always track down any specific plants & trees that we request. He is always available to help out & offer advice.. Always very Friendly & courteous.

We would happily recommend him & have done so to friends & wish him every success for the future. ”
