Nicholas Hill Gardening

Nick was an absolute pleasure. He was punctual and polite during quotation, and deciphered my non-gardening terminology pretty well :)
During the job he was very considerate to our neighbours and ensured he left the area very clean and tidy.
Highly recommend!

Very happy with quality of work that Nicholas and team do on our garden.

Pruning of shrubs and a general tidy up plus small fence repair.

Work well completed and left very tidy.

Nick & Mark did a marvellous job repairing and extending our wooden garden fence. They also removed a tree that had been growing near the house for over 50 years. Also a bush was removed.

We would certainly recommend them for garden work.

Nick did a great job and we are very happy with all aspects of his service. He was helpful, prompt and tidy. I would absolutely recommend him for any garden work.

Highly recommend Nick’s services!

Nick and his colleague undertook replacement of a large wooden gate post that had broken near the base. They arrived at the site at time specified, completed the work as agreed, removed the old concreted post, tidied up the site as well as fitting new hinges to the wooden gate.

All good.

This company was hired to provide garden maintenance initially lawn mowing and weed removal and hedge trimming. However, the quote for weed removal was not included in the final quote, so that lawn mowing and hedge trimming were the services provided. I selected this company based in large part on the glowing reviews I read here. In fact the service I received in no way reflected the experience of the many reviews. Tasks I requested to be done in the initial meeting with Nick were not being done unless I pointed them out to Nick, they then might be done at the next visit then not again. I asked that Nick inform me when when he arrived for each visit this was done only twice and both times as he was leaving. A lounger that was moved was not returned to its usual place with the result that during a rainstorm that particular evening it fell over and flattened a lavender bed. A tall hedge was clipped at the end of June, was so badly done that in places looks as though it was never done and I will have to clip it once more. This was an appalling experience.

Nick is polite, does a good job for a reasonable price and turns up when he says he will - highly recommend! He's done a garden tidy up a few times now, very happy with his work.

Hedge cutting and removal of bush. Trimming of a bush. Tidying up. Nick Hill's work is excellent. He is reliable and I thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking for garden work.

I have been using this company regularly for around 6 years and prior to that every now and again for one-off jobs like shrub clearing. In the last 6 years they have carried out grass cutting, laying new turf, trimming shrubs,
spreading mulch over borders, applying weedkiller where necessary,
erecting new fence posts and recently scarifying my grass and applying a moss killer. Communication is excellent. My late mother also used them for many years. I am very happy with Nicholas Hill Gardening.

I had nothing short of a jungle at the front / street side of my flat. Some of it was very awkward, dense and extremely jagged type of stuff.
The two guys came at the time they said they would and set about it. They chopped down everything we had agreed when Nick was doing the estimate. They removed all the stuff to their vans and trailers for going to the dump and cleaned up all the small loose stuff as well. They put in a near 3 hour non stop graft. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone for gardening work.
Thank you lads for a very professional job.
P.S. The only downside was that I have full length , wide, glass windows and with the “ jungle “ gone it showed up just how dirty the windows were! They hadn’t been washed for a long time. I did them all the day after the gardening job.

Grass cutting, areas of turf laid, shrub removal, application of weedkiller, soil improver, new fence posts.

I have used Nicholas Hill Gardening for round 5 years. My late mother also used this firm. I have always been happy with the work carried out and Nick is a pleasant and helpful gardener.

Replaced lawn with membrane and gravel. Really tidy speedy job done.

Nick has been cutting the grass in my garden on a regular schedule this year. He is incredibly reliable and does a great job. I'd highly recommend his services.

He we are again reviewing the excellent work carried out again by Nick Hill.

We had a slightly complex replacement fence issue and the requirement to replace a garden gate as well. Nick assesed what was required. He provided me with a comprehensive quotation and carried out the works to my entire satisfaction.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nick or engaging his professional services in the future.

Old broken path removed and replaced with new slabs and drainage. The new path looks good and after a return visit to fix a slight drainage issue the path is draining well. Nick turned up when he said he would has always responded promptly to enquiries.

Pruning of two plum trees and a hypericum bush.

The two guys from Nicholas Hill Garden Construction did a good job. Quick, quiet, tidy, skilled; everything you'd want from a garden service. Followed our COVID-19 related requests faultlessly.

Price was fair rather than 'cheap', hence the 4 stars rather than 5. But happy to pay for quality service.

I have used Nicholas for my elderly mother’s garden several times over the last three years. His work and helpfulness has been outstanding and he is willing and trustworthy.
I have no hesitation in recommending his company.

My mother and I have known Nick for over fifteen years. We first used his services at my Mother's large garden house in Colinton. Nick kept the garden under control for her.

When she down sized to her house in Fairmilehead straight away we engaged Nick to bring the tired garden under control. We also had areas of work that required his input and action. This included removing an old tree and replacing a dangerous shared fence between neighbours.

We have continued to use Nick over the years and we regard him as "Best in Class" for the quality of work and affordability.

The most recent scope of work was to widen a tight driveway by moving a section of garden wall using matching materials to our entire satisfaction.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nick and his team for any garden design, repairs or maintenance.

Repairs to garage path; complete clearance of border at side of garage path, new top soil supplied and laid, slabs laid in border.
This is the second time I have used Nicholas Hill, and I find him, and his men, reliable and effective. I will certainly use his firm again when need arises, and would recommend him for any similar work.

This is the second job Nick has done for me. He landscaped my front garden a few years ago and I was, and still am, delighted with it so when I wanted work done in my back garden I went to Nick again. Once more very happy. He is friendly and efficient and has done just what I wanted. No trouble, no mess and a great result.

Workmen arrived promptly on the day and completed the work required to my satisfaction. Very pleasant workmen.

I had a tricky fence repair that needed to be done. Nick came out and gave a reasonable quote which I decided to go with. I was able to get the fence panels delivered before works started as it allowed me to paint them in the garage. His employees turned up on time & got the job done in no time at all. They were clean, efficient & polite. Would definitely recommend them & use again.

We needed a new fence & some trellis panels put up. I had been let down by several other firms before contacting Nick but from the outset he proved to be reliable & professional and was honest about timescales for any work starting. Ronan & Mark completed the work with good advice on my options and with amazing attention to detail. They were a treat to have around, left the place immaculate and even replaced the patio table and chairs before I saw the work finished for the first time which was a lovely touch. We are delighted with the outcome & will definitely be calling Nick for future work.

i have a small garden and all the old shrubs and contents of tubs needed to be taken out and new shrubs/small plants put in.

i also needed the broken top of brickwork weather proofed.

several trees needed trimmed, as well as weeds dealt with on my path.

once all this work was done nick took away all the waste.

he gave me a date and turned up on time, did a very good job and i intend to use his services again.

Removal and replacement of paving slabs in garden. Men came on time, and carried out the work quickly and efficiently. They were polite and pleasant, and cleared up after them. Would certainly use this firm again.

Had my old decking removed and new decking installed. Nick’s team was absolutely superb-really hard working and lovely to deal with (saw Ronan a few times and he was so helpful).the job was done incredibly well and in the timescale promised (for the fee agreed). Would highly recommend

Fencing 6 lattice fence panels erected.

We had a garden fence installed recently by Nick Hill Garden Construction and are very happy with the work and the advice we received from Nick in choosing something suitable for our garden. Communication was excellent, and Nick and the team were friendly and professional throughout. They were punctual on the day and left the garden tidy when the work was complete. I will certainly return to Nick for any further big jobs in the garden.

Nick's team did a great job in landscaping our back garden, were a pleasure to have on site, tidied up after themselves every day and could not be faulted. We plan to sort out our front garden out next year and will only be speaking with Nick.

I have used Nick for several jobs. He is very reliable. Work is carried out well and site left tidy afterwards.

All emails and phone calls were answered promptly, arranged appointments kept and job completed to specification and satisfaction. Would certainly use again.

Nick does more than required to leave the garden looking neat.

Reliable and friendly service. High quality of workmanship.

Nick and his team have been maintaining my mother-in-law's garden for some time now and we have always been very happy with the standard of work. We will certainly be continuing to use his services in the coming season.
In addition Nick has just undertaken a 'one off' job for me. This was completed very promptly and I am happy with the work.

Mr Hill responded promptly to my phone call and quickly came back to me with a quote which I accepted.

A few days later he came to do the work which I was very impressed with.

Very happy with the quote which i found reasonable for the amount of work done.

Happy to recommend to all.

Both guys made a great job of cutting a twelve foot hedge in my back garden. They were polite, friendly, cleared up afterwards and turned up when they said they would. The final price was as estimated with no hidden extras. I have already recommended Nicholas to a neighbour of mine.

In my opinion the job could have been done better

Polite & considerate, taking time to do the job properly.

This is the first time I have used Nicholas Hill Garden Construction - I was needing a eucalyptus tree cut back and a very large garden hedge cut. I am delighted with the job - the garden looks so neat now! The guys were very hard working, polite and friendly - and best of all, they cleared up every bit of rubbish after them. I will certainly be using them again for other garden work I'm needing done and so wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others wanting a reliable gardener.

We have used Nicholas Hill Garden Construction twice in the last few years. On both occasions we have found Nick and his staff to be friendly, trustworthy, knowledgable and adaptable to our needs as a client. I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending them, and indeed have done so many times already.

Nicks' staff showed a willingness and creativity in using and re-cycling my existing materials to add an extra dimension to the overall very pleasing effect on a revamp of my front garden .
Very favourable comments from neighbours, family and friends on the transformation .

Knowledgeable and friendly too .

Nick, along with his team, Mel and Ronan, re-created our front garden.
Nick's design was exactly what we wanted and the work of re-building the garden was carried out by Mel and Ronan. In short, this was a quality commission undertaken and executed by people of quality. For us it was a real pleasure to have them working to create our new garden. In time, we intend to ask them to work their magic on our back garden. We can only say a big thank you to Nick, Mel and Ronan. We are delighted with their work.

Nic has been our gardener for several years. He landscaped a difficult area of our garden into a manageable and attractive vista, which is now an abundance of greenery and colour.
He attends regularly every two weeks and leaves the garden looking trimmed and tidy.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nic, he is honest, professional and completely trustworthy.

The work was carried out with care and expertise.

Nick was really excellent to deal with. He arranged to come and inspect the work and provided a clear written estimate. He offered helpful advice. He came exactly when agreed and carried out the work very quietly and with minimum of mess and disruption. A very reliable and trustworthy service and I will be using him again.

Nicholas Hill Garden Construction company have been looking after my garden for over a year. This company is not the cheapest however the workforce are totally reliable and trustworthy. When people are working in your home, I deem this to be a necessary requirement. Any request of mine is met with an immediate response and carried out promptly. I am an organic gardener and the staff are happy to work this way even though it makes the job more laborious.

Very polite professional young man who always turns up on time. He is helpful and offers good advice and is knowledgeable in his field. I have used Nick Hill for several jobs and also recommended him to others. He is a reliable, honest and trustworthy tradesman!

Nick has responded quickly to any of my concerns and has proved very reliable in all his dealings with me.
