What Our Clients Say

“Bruce has been with us for around five years now, and we truly couldn’t do without him. He is consistently reliable and always willing to take on any gardening task we ask of him. Thanks to his hard work, our hedges, lawns, and flower beds are looking absolutely fabulous. Thank you, Bruce!”

Karen H.

Bramdean, Winchester

"I contacted a number of companies to quote for hard landscaping works in my garden. Ground Guardians wasn't the cheapest, but when Bruce came round I felt he really listened to what I wanted and offered sensible alternatives to save money."

Jill H.

Emsworth

“We recently had Bruce doing work on our property, and we couldn't be happier with the results. He carefully trim's all the hedges as a bi annual service throughout the garden and built a beautiful fence that has completely transformed the space. His attention to detail is outstanding.”

Carole C.

Horsham

“In 2019 we sought a new gardener to manage our 1.45 acre garden and paddock. A work colleague recommended her gardener, Bruce Barber to us and our garden has looked wonderful ever since. In the 7½ years since, this friendly and capable young man has maintained our flowerbeds and large hedges.”
