With an empty patch of back garden grass, we were told time and time again how lucky we were to have a blank canvas. We just felt like we didn’t know where to begin, or even what we wanted. After a long period of indecision we enlisted the help of the Bushy Boys. What a great choice it turned out to be.From the word “go” they were unfailingly helpful, respectful, accommodating and were clearly experienced professionals. The degree of attention to detail and their willingness and eagerness to decipher our rambling descriptions of our desired elements of the garden was quite remarkable.Every single one of them worked tirelessly through some of the worst weather; snow, wind, ice and rain, ensuring everything was safe, clean and tidy at the end of the day. Each morning they arrived on time, usually early in fact, smartly turned out and ready to start work. No loud music, no swearing, no long cigarette breaks and certainly no beer bellies or builders bums. They came to here work, they were reliable, and they always put in a full day.They were not boastful or big talkers, and it immediately became evident that the standard of their work, their enthusiasm and their passion was the driving force behind their commitment. Their clear communication and regular updates were completely reassuring. I never felt as if I didn’t know what was going on, and they were always happy to discuss and suggest ideas. I had complete confidence in their capabilities.I began to notice very subtle, yet unannounced, levels of excellence in their work which were far beyond my expectations, the lining up of stepping stones with stones in the patio, pleasing sight lines blending in with the house, the perfect lines of the hand built pergola, the happily going above and beyond because it pleased them to be perfect. Not to mention the imaginative and elegant planting. Well, these guys have planted Gold Medal winning Chelsea gardens......why was I so surprised and delighted!?For these reasons, along with countless others, you won’t be surprised to hear that our garden now looks and feels that it is greater than the sum of the parts! We could not be happier.I would suggest that you don’t waste time and money with less capable and less committed companies. Engage Bushy Business, if they can squeeze you in! You will not be disappointed, even if you are slightly put off by their name..... Bushy Business is actually NOT a waxing salon, the Bushy Boys are the ones to get the job done the way you want it. Thank you guys, we love our garden!read more

I am amazed at how incredibly helpful Natalie, Chris and Jo have been over the past few days, when I had been in crisis over supplies for my garden. The team at Bushy Business has bent over backwards to accommodate my needs and delivery times and the patience and good humour Natalie has shown me, during my frequent 'phone calls, has been extraordinary, to say the least. I cannot speak more highly of this company and the support afforded to me. My heartfelt thanks to you all.read more
