Myself was recommended to Flora Gardening Services Limited from a work colleague and when I contacted them to enquiry about the garden they made an appointment to visit with estimates. Now I will be very honest the level of service for the garden was of very high exquisite standards and I now have there garden services regular . The garden was in a serious dilapidated state and was needing serious attention so that's why I requested Flora Gardening Services Limited and I'm very much delighted . For any person making enquiries to this company it might take a week or two for the director of the company to visit the property for an estimate as they are extremely busy and in high demand due to there professional working skills. You will not be disappointed as I can fully assure people there Services for the garden is perfect.

When I first met Ionut, I was impressed with his good manners. I subsequently hired him to prune the overhang from two neighbours' trees, one quite substantial, back to the boundary. At my request, he carried this out very quickly from booking - and did the job on the day very professionally and quickly, all from within my garden and with great power tools. As it took him less time than anticipated, he then allowed his mother and daughter team (who had arrived to help clear up), weed the patio/garden for an hour, within our agreed cost for the tree pruning. Mum and daughter were great and left the garden immaculate. I hope to use them again. Thanks to all three of you.

Gardening works- general tidy weeding hedge trimming.
Very poor work and time keeping during the works.
Inflated priced invoice absolutely shocking for the works carried out.
I would not use this Character again ensure you know what your paying for and how much you will be paying.

Well what can I say, I cannot praise Ionut and his hard working team enough. This is the 2nd time we have used Flora gardening to cut back trees,hedges and general tidy of dad's garden.
From the start Ionut is 1st class at keeping in touch through email.
His gardeners are 1st class, conscientious,hard working and very tidy.
We will certainly have Flora gardening do work again and highly recommend them.

During 2020 we left StAndrews late February with the intention of returning in March. Well, as you know, that couldn’t happen.
We made what had become a necessary return in May of 2021, after full vaccination even though we still had to quarantine.
The garden was a jungle!
Our original gardener hadn’t been back since we left. The shrubs had overgrown the understory, much of which was lost.
For a year plus, Ionut and his staff faithfully laboured to restore the garden. As of July 2022 it is once again gorgeous and true to its original concept of a seaside garden. They have done an amazing job and we couldn’t be more pleased with its beauty!
Together, we will continue to ensure the overall concept develops and is maintained.
And kudos! to Flora gardeners and their dedicated approach.

Ionut and his team did a fantastic job in tidying up my garden. Cutting grass, trimming bushes, cutting back hedges and taking the tops of some trees. Everything was done efficiently and exactly as requested. I will be using them going forward and have no hesitation in recommending there services

Gardening maintenance work. The work is generally of good quality, though Flora Gardening is better at general gardening work than lawn maintenance. Their charges are also quite high. They are of course not responsible for the weather, which inevitably affects their work!

General garden maintenance.
Generally I’m satisfied with the quality of work done.
Any concerns I have to raise with the company are handled promptly, with understanding and politely.
Given that no company is or can be perfect what more can one ask

We inherited an overgrown garden that needed significant clearing intially. Flora's team worked at it for a fortnight steadily and revealed what was underneath. Since then, they have carried out regular tidying and weeding of the flowerbeds, and undertook a major project to replace worn membranes under a slate bed and under the drive. Hard work, but again completed well.
They are professional in their thorough understanding of plants and their needs, and have a trained workforce to carry out regular work or one-off projects. I can thoroughly recommended them for being reliable gardeners who will tackle the less attractive jobs in the garden without complaint!

I’m always impressed with the quality of work from Flora. The professionalism and expertise of the staff is extremely reassuring.
It’s always easy to get hold of them to get some work organised and the team are always extremely pleasant and hard working.
We have asked them to do various bits of work for us. They always exceed our expectations and I have recommended them to numerous others.
Our garden has literally been transformed thanks to Flora- a great, local business to carry out big projects or maintenance work on your garden.

Very little achieved for the time and cost.
They did a few days work to renovate overgrown beds in a garden. On completion, the work appeared to be completed to a reasonable standard. However, looking more closely, little digging had been done. Instead, large amounts of vegetation had just been removed (along with the soil, which is now several inches below its original level. This was accompanied by what appeared to be brushing of the soil, which remained hard compacted and had not been dug.
Discussing this with Ionut, I was told that they had had staff disruption and needed much longer than the time available. I'd agree that to have a wider impact on the garden would need more input, though the quality of the work done wasn't high enough to continue to work with them.

We agreed with this elderly person on 4 full days of garden work, though I recommended 1-2 weeks to restore to the best standards his overgrown garden and borders, not done properly for a while. I think he expected everything done in these days, though we did not believe this was possible, as it was a lot to do.
One of the problems was that one of my staff on day 1 and 3 had to leave earlier, and didn’t work full days as the client wanted and I agreed with him, because my staff was in the process of moving home and had a professional coming to fit the internet and another case with a sofa delivery. He explained these things to my client, but I think it did not go down too well.
I think this was the main problem, apart from the work itself.
We cleared his borders as best as we could, and after that second phase would have been to turn over the soil and nurture the plants with manure, etc. He hasn’t been waiting for that, nor understood my professional position.
I feel he should not have sent this negative message/feedback, because he got a lot of good work done, all around his garden.
Not a good experience overall for us dealing with him, but we did our best to bring his garden to a good standard.

Ionut Pasare was a professional from beginning to end.
He completed a big job for me in my garden.
My garden went from looking an unkempt mess to a dream home.
I would strongly recommend him in future for his attentiveness and hard work.

Turned up quickly and men worked hard. They did some plant splitting but I got no advice regarding aftercare and as a result one is dead and the other is on its way out.

I had lost control of my garden in St Andrews; Flora Gardening brought it back under control in just a few days work. They are an efficient and well-equipped company, obviously in great demand, and their director Ionut Pasare is unfailingly courteous and considerate.

Large landscaped garden, planted 15 years ago needed significant work to clear overgrown areas, mature trees needed pruning, reshaping, beech hedge cut. Some shrubs needed to be removed / repositioned and some alternative shrubs/perennials /spring bulbs planted . The aim was to regenerate the original garden and to introduce more colour and variety to the planting. Some grass cutting edging also done.
I greatly valued Ionut’s knowledge of plants and wide ranging skills from tree pruning and shaping to garden design. He also manages his team very well and at all stages consulted and kept me informed of next stage and progress.
I plan to have some further work done including ongoing maintenance.

Flora have carried out hard and soft landscaping projects in our garden including slabbing, decking, turfing, seasonal planting of bulbs and plants. They also tidied our whole garden up for winter. Ionut and his team are incredibly hard working and really take the time to understand what it is you would like as an end result and work tirelessly to achieve it for you. Really pleased with the whole project.

After using a number of different Fife based companies and been disappointed we were pleased to engage Flora Gardening and found every aspect of their service very high standard.
Flora are not the cheapest however in terms of getting the job done first time and meticulously the value is actually great.
We had a very overgrown garden returned to a manicured level for less than £1500.
Ionut himself was courteous, prompt and kept us well informed of progress. He also was careful to complete within the agreed budget.
They were so good we are also using the team to keep the garden maintained.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I'm a keen gardener, but lack time. Two gardeners from Ionut's team spend 2 or 3 hours every month or so keeping my garden in good shape, which allows me to get out there and enjoy pottering when I can without feeling pressured. Sometimes I ask for specific jobs to be done. Other times they improvise and just get on with it. Reliable, tidy, polite, hard working and knowledgeable gardeners. They're great!

We have done some great work for this client and there was a complain that one of my staff did not do much work. My staff member was ill and was not feeling very well on that day, but he still did some work and helped his colleagues. Next time he will call himself off work as I agreed with him. I offered the client hours off as he was not able to perform at his best.
I spoke to this client and explained these things and we agreed to do more work soon, but the client cancelled the work when the client saw the bill which was accurate for labour hours, and waste removal involved.
I am sure the price was not an issue, as this client had us for 3-4 sessions this year, and was ok paying the rates we had asked from this work to cover our work. We are fair and transparent with everyone, bearing in mind that every year the business running costs go up and we have to cover our travel costs, wages and all the other things that keep us moving daily.
I am very disappointed to see the clients complaining after 2 days of a lot of hard work done in this garden.
