The Plantman approach
Knowledge built through doing.
I’m Karl — a hands-on gardener with decades of construction, landscaping and practical problem-solving behind me.
That experience means I look beyond the immediate job. I consider drainage, structure, access, future growth and how the whole garden works together — then explain the options plainly.
- Honest, practical advice
- Careful work around established gardens
- Clear communication and reliable attendance

Edge and cut front and back lawns
“Karl is very knowledgeable, did an excellent job and is returning regularly.”
★★★★★10/10
Full maintenance of overgrown garden
“Karl did an excellent job maintaining my garden and hedges, including some fairly complex plants that require specialist care. He was extremely knowledgeable about the plants and took the time to explain how to properly maintain them going forward, which I really appreciated. The overall standard of work was outstanding — everything was left looking neat, healthy, and very well cared for. He was also competitively priced and professional throughout. I’d definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality garden maintenance. 10/10 service.”
★★★★★10/10
Proper job
“Karl done a great job with my garden. It was quite overgrown and required 2 visits. It was still good value for money and looked fantastic once finished. I was that impressed I have asked him to look after it on a regular basis.”
★★★★★10/10
End of season maintenance
“We used Plantman for an end of season tidy up in our cottage garden that had become overgrown. The work required tree pruning, hedge shaping, ground cover management, clearing paths and plantings around a pond and more! Very happy with the results, but the stand out for me was how Karl shared his knowledge, demonstrated flexibility and was communicative and reliable throughout the process.”

Fantastic Garden Clean-Up – Highly Recommended!
“Karl is knowledgeable, skilled, and reliable. He did a fantastic job bringing our long-neglected garden back to life for our newly bought house. Everything now looks neat and beautiful. He was responsive, efficient, and patient in sharing his advice throughout the process. Highly recommended!”

Large bush/tree cutting
“This is my first time using Karl and I'm impressed with his work — quick, friendly, thorough and uses his expertise to make my garden look as good as it could, with some additional care tips too!”
★★★★★10/10
Rescuing a neglected garden
“We are so thrilled to have discovered Karl aka Plantman. We needed a neglected garden to be rescued (and then maintained going forwards) and Karl suggested a general MOT as a first step, including clearing all the beds, shaping the shrubs, treating the lawn and so much more. He and his son did an absolutely outstanding job and his knowledge is extraordinary! Highly skilled, empathetic, helpful, supportive, hard working and an all round brilliant gardener! Impossible to recommend highly enough!”
★★★★★10/10
Gardening
“I couldn’t be happier with the work Karl has done for my garden; his knowledge of plants is truly impressive. Beyond his expertise, Karl is an absolute pleasure to work with, he is professional and punctual. He takes time to explain his process and genuinely cares about the health of my garden. If you are looking for someone who is highly skilled but also a genuinely nice person, I would recommend Karl.”
★★★★★10/10
My garden was out of control and overgrown
“Karl was above and beyond brilliant. A very skilled gardener who worked miracles on my shabby overgrown garden. He got to grips with all of it, making it look so tidy and smart. He and his team worked non-stop in pouring rain and freezing cold without a single complaint or ask of me. He was polite and kind and went out of his way to help me. I am so happy with the result and couldn’t recommend him more. In fact I am already recommending him to all of my friends!”
★★★★★10/10
Clearing our very overgrown front garden.
“Karl was so professional, friendly and hardworking. We can’t believe the amount of work that was done, and the standard it was completed to, in the time that they were here. Karl gave excellent advice and went above and beyond to complete what we asked for. We’ve already asked Karl to come back again for some more work.”
